AnswerBank Answer:
I have braces. How do I brush?
Brushing and flossing take longer, and are even more important for people with braces, because food gets stuck around the brackets. While brushing, angle the brush head to scrub all surfaces of the brackets in sequence: top, head-on, and underneath. Your dentist or orthodontist can provide you with floss threaders to help you to floss and orthodontic toothbrushes (with channels in the bristles) are also available.
