Brushing requires a lot of care when receiving orthodontic treatment because there are places in the mouth that are more difficult to access.
The Oral-B Ortho toothbrush is an ideal toothbrush for cleaning teeth undergoing orthodontic treatment, and the bristles of this toothbrush are specially designed to provide a fast and thorough cleaning around orthodontic appliances, in addition to including a timer that ensures greater brushing effectiveness.
Wet the toothbrush and add a small quantity of toothpaste.
Place the toothbrush forming a 45° angle with the gums and brush gently in a circular motion.
Brushing time should be a minimum of 2 minutes, on all surfaces of the teeth.
Brush the tongue to kill bacteria and to maintain a fresh breath or use a tongue cleaner.
Rinse your mouth.
To maintain good oral hygiene, you should brush your teeth with a fluoride toothpaste two to three times a day, once in the evening. At least 2 minutes should be spent to ensure proper cleaning. You can supplement your oral hygiene routine using a tongue cleaner, an interdental brush and a mouthwash to reach the less accessible corners.
Special orthodontic brushes are designed to remove food debris that accumulates in the brackets or wires, thus completing oral hygiene without damaging your gums.
Have regular check-ups with your dentist to ensure good oral health and hygiene.
