How to Clean and Floss Dental Braces.
There are several steps essential to be taken for care of dentist braces. It is essential to brush teeth with braces two times daily with fluoride toothpaste and, if necessary, use a mouthwash. A manual toothbrush frequently serves the purpose, other than those with brackets and other fixed orthodontic appliances may find the use of a power or sonic toothbrush more convenient and effective.

Clean your braced teeth every day with dental floss. Since flossing is usually difficult, you need to be extra careful that the braces do not break. Your dentist can show you the special methods to use depending on the type of braces you have.
