Wearing braces is a difficult procedure, but useful and effective, because after treatment you will see straight teeth that adorn a new luxurious smile. In order not to have to solve problems related to oral health after removing braces, you should properly care for your teeth and gums. The most important point in care is cleaning the oral cavity, for which special brushes for braces have been developed.
Why do we recommend buying a toothbrush for braces ?
1) Braces make it difficult to remove plaque and food debris, and some areas of the mouth are completely blocked from cleaning. A regular toothbrush cannot reach hard-to-reach areas and remove germs effectively.
2) Braces make it easier for food to get stuck in the mouth.
Taking these factors into account, we can conclude that improper care of teeth and gums while wearing braces significantly increases the risk of harmful bacteria multiplying. This can cause cavities or gum inflammation.
Toothbrush for braces : its features
1) Rounded brush head that allows you to penetrate hard-to-reach places.
2) Soft bristles that clean teeth carefully and gently without damaging metal braces and enamel.
3) Angled, tapered, or ergonomic handles promote better use of the toothbrush.
Types of braces brushes
Toothbrushes for braces come in three versions:
- A manual braces brush is a popular choice due to its affordability and convenience. Plus, you don't have to worry about the tool's battery level.
- V-shaped braces brush – helps to simultaneously clean areas of teeth with and without braces.
- An electric toothbrush for cleaning braces is an effective device thanks to its vibration, which helps to clean teeth and gums quickly and efficiently. An additional advantage is the presence of a timer that controls the duration of brushing.
How to brush your teeth with a braces toothbrush
Experts recommend brushing your teeth twice a day for two minutes. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush, hold it at a 45-degree angle, and use small, circular motions, gently pressing on the front and back of your teeth.
Additional recommendations for brushing with a toothbrush for braces
1) Change your toothbrush every 3-4 months to prevent bacteria buildup.
2) Do not press too hard on your teeth and braces to avoid damaging the tooth enamel and metal plates.
3) Use toothpaste to care for your braces.
Daily brushing and regular visits to the dentist will keep your teeth and gums in good condition. We recommend buying a braces brush from the Healthy Smile online oral care store. You can always call our consultants to get answers to your questions and choose the right product.
