Cleaning teeth when wearing braces
Jun 3rd, 2008 by Dr. Kourosh Maddahi DDS
The teeth should be flossed and brushed regularly. In addition, a Waterpik can be used to clean between the teeth. Another option is to use a proxy brush. A proxy brush is a thin brush that goes between the teeth. These brushes help patients with braces clean between the teeth and any gaps in the teeth.
