Orthodontic Toothbrushes

Brushing is the first line of defense for orthodontic oral hygiene. However, most orthodontic patients don’t really understand how to brush properly, and that could lead to calculus buildup and problems. It doesn’t really matter whether your patients use a manual or an electric toothbrush as long as they brush correctly several times per day. It’s worthwhile to show the patient how to properly brush their braces, because most patients don’t intuitively understand that they should angle the toothbrush above and below the brackets.
