Brushing with Braces
Brushing With Braces
Brushing
While the end result of orthodontic care is a more beautiful smile, you will notice that it is much harder to keep teeth clean while wearing braces. Because food compacts in the brackets and between the teeth, it is important to brush and floss. If plaque remains on the teeth for any length of time, it will leave a permanent white scar on the surface. So brushing after meals should become a regular part of your daily routine.
Use a soft toothbrush with firm pressure and brush at a 45-degree angle to the tooth. Brush in small circles above and below the brackets. Braces are good for your teeth, but hard on your toothbrush. It will wear out faster because of your appliances, so be sure to replace it whenever the bristles start to fray. A water pick can also be very helpful, but cannot remove the sticky plaque that adheres to teeth. We recommend Sonicare toothbrushes, which are very effective in removing food particles and plaque. And don’t forget to floss…every day!
Brush After Every Meal:
- Use a toothbrush with a small amount of toothpaste.
- Use circular, vibrating motions around the gumline for about 10 seconds on each tooth.
- Brush every tooth slowly.
- Brush the lower teeth up and the upper teeth down.
- Also brush your tongue and the roof of your mouth.
Floss Nightly After Brushing to Remove the Plaque Brushing Misses:
- Carefully pull waxed floss between wire and braces.
- Floss carefully around the braces.
- Floss carefully around the gum area.
- Floss around each tooth.

It's never too late to get braces!!!
Many people think that if they didn’t have braces in junior high, they’ve missed the only chance to straighten their teeth. But more and more, we see a strong trend in orthodontics: adults who realize the time is still ripe.
Consider Chicago resident Sally Borla, retired and in her 50s, didn’t dream she’d ever wear braces. After treatment, she couldn’t imagine why she hadn’t started earlier. “I’d always related braces to young people, but I guess I’m living proof that it doesn’t matter how old a person is,” Borla said. “When I look in the mirror, I can hardly believe that the smile looking back at me is mine.”
And because orthodontics closes up spaces between teeth or eliminates crowding, patients have found it’s easier to keep them clean. Michael Smith of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, said he noticed fewer problems with tartar buildup since braces had realigned his teeth and jaws when he was in his late 20s. “I do believe my teeth will last a lot longer,” said Smith, now in his 30s.
Maria Castro of Brandon, Florida, was 91 (“and a half,” she’d add) when her braces came off. Castro said her smile was a source of pride until one of her teeth began to slip behind it’s neighbors when she was in her late 80s. When her family dentist told her that her teeth, gums and supporting bone were in good shape- and her son, an oral surgeon, concurred-she said, “Why not?”
Why not, indeed? One out of every five people in orthodontic treatment is over the age of eighteen. So if your teeth aren’t as straight as you’d like, and you find yourself jealously eyeing your pre-teen’s braces, give us a call 205.664.4140.
