HOW TO FLOSS AND BRUSH YOUR TEETH WITH BRACES / BRACES JOURNEY TIPS 🦷 🪥

just rinse with water to get rid of any food leftovers, then start the brushing and flossing. it’ll be much easier!

Use a water flosser 1-2 times to make sure there's no food residue, and brushing your teeth thoroughly with an electric toothbrush if possible is recommended. I use Sonicare and it's been amazing. If you do not have an electric toothbrush, a soft bristle toothbrush will do fine. Brush at a 45° angle and make sure to brush above and under the wire and brackets. Make sure to do circular motions as well to stimulate the gums. If you need to take a few more minutes to brush, do it. I don't manually floss after every meal but I do make sure to floss at LEAST once a day at night. Glide floss threaders are a lifesaver for manual flossing. I have all of my wisdom teeth and also manually floss my top and bottom wisdom teeth. It takes a lot of time but you will get used to it. Also, get a tongue scraper and non-alcoholic mouthwash. One of the biggest contenders of bad breath stems from bacteria left residing on the tongue. I brush after every meal or snack and drink anything that isn't water through a straw. This has helped avoid staining.

Your biggest investment when having braces is your Waterpik. It is a necessity if you have metal in your mouth. I couldn't even imagine not having one while in braces. It'd be disgusting. Be diligent and take care of your mouth. This will benefit you greatly and help you get them off quicker. Oral hygiene is a MUST. Good luck! 👍🏼

How do I use the platypus flosser if when my brackets are too close to each other?

[hersugardaddy...]

waterpik, brush teeth, use small brush in between wires and below and above braces, then finish with a mouthwash

[Charlottes_world.offical]

Thank you 👍 I am getting braces soon and I am really young, I need to know this before I get them

Quick brush to get crumbs and shit out, mouth wash, floss and then brush properly and use interdental brush so you minimise the yellow line behind wire. Roughly 15 minutes.

I start with the platypus flossers, then water floss, mouthwash, and end with brushing.

Your getting the gunk inbetween out wrong your supposed to do it from your gums down not going towards the guns because then the food might get stuck in your gums

What I do:
Step 1: Get a floss pick MADE for braces and floss in between brackets
Step 2: get you a toothbrush and put toothpaste, water, and a splash of mouthwash on it
Step 3: brush for two minutes
Step 4: gargle with water, then gargle with a bit more mouthwash
Step 5: all done!!
