How to brush braces in orthodontics

Orthodontic brackets are placed on the teeth to direct them to an ideal position. This tool corrects the position of your teeth, make your smile look beautiful, keep your mouth healthy and improve speech … so putting them up is worth it. However, if you do not follow the proper techniques for brushing, you may encounter black teeth, rot, or gum infection. Plates or food stuffed on the hairsetter bracket should be cleaned regularly.
If you are an orthodontist and have orthodontic bracket in your mouth, this article will help you learn the proper techniques for keeping them well and keeping your mouth healthy.

Part I: Brushing in the orthodontic period

• Choose your toothbrush. Although an ordinary toothbrush does your job, however, you may occasionally use a conventional toothbrush or a brush designed to clean the brackets. Additionally, make sure that you use the correct amount of pressure on the toothbrush and rotate the entire serially circular brush. This will improve the cleanliness of the mouth and teeth and save time.

• Use an appropriate toothbrush with a suitable angle that can clean around orthodontic brackets.

• If you have chosen an ordinary electric toothbrush, it’s very difficult to move it in the mouth between the brackets. Also, the brush head is likely to be faster than the movement because it collides with orthodontic brackets on the teeth.

• If you are using a regular toothbrush, you need to set the toothbrush head to the top and bottom to hold the toothbrush and clean the orthodontic bracket, and then brush it.

• Remember that your teeth have several levels. The outer surface (near your cheek and lips) – the inner surface (along with your tongue) – the crown (in the lower teeth, the surface of the teeth that lies in front of the teeth). This is a part of the language that has been engaged. Therefore, all surfaces of the teeth should be cleaned, so make a small, flexible toothbrush that can easily move around your teeth.

Start brushing with the outer surface of the lower teeth. Put your teeth together. Brush the toothbrush on your teeth forward and backward. As you progressively brush the toothbrush on the teeth, make sure you toothbrushes on all of your teeth.

• Now brush the outer surface of the tooth high. Still have your teeth together, brushing gently and circularly. Note that the toothbrush moves along all levels of the front and rear teeth (milling teeth). If you open your mouth a bit, brushing your teeth may be easier.
  If you use a regular toothbrush, you can place the brush of the toothbrush slightly tilted between the teeth and the gum line. This helps to bring out every piece of food that comes directly above or below the orthodontic bracket.
  To brush the brackets, use circular and circular motions. Take at least 25 to 30 seconds for each bracket. You can also clean the surface of the orthodontic bracket using an interdental toothbrush. The inside of most brackets is a hole (not very clear), so try to clean the orthodontic bracket using an interdental toothbrush head.
• Brush the surface of your teeth. Brush the toothpick forwards and backwards, up and down, then brush with the circular movements of the surface of the upper and lower teeth. When you have brackets on your teeth, your inner surfaces of the teeth are usually the easiest level to brush because the brackets are not attached to them.
• Brush the crown of your teeth. Brushing the space between your teeth vertically, brushing your toothbrush forward and pulling it, and circling the teeth on your teeth. This helps to get the hardest dental plaques or small pieces of food out of the teeth gap.
• Focus on other areas of your mouth. Your mouth is full of germs and plaques that lead to inflammation of the gum. You should brush your gums, cheeks and tongue well.
  Using a toothbrush, slowly begin to clean the tooth gums above (or down), move the toothbrush vertically onto the brackets and gently move.
  After that, turn the toothbrush 180 degrees to clean them from the inside. Cleaning the cheek from inside is difficult, if it’s too hard, you can keep your cheek with your other hand and then clean it with a toothbrush.
  Rotate the toothbrush down and clean the soft part below the tongue and the gums next to the tongue. Then brush the top of the tongue and top of the mouth well.
  Finally, remove your tongue and rinse it. Make sure you breathe out of your mouth, otherwise you may feel nauseous.
  After brushing the brush, wash your toothbrush and mouth.

• Check your teeth. Are your teeth clean? If you see a plate or a piece of food, immediately remove your toothbrush and remove a piece of food from the teeth. If you feel that there is still a small amount (for whatever reason you think), remove the toothbrush and pull it all the teeth and brackets faster than before to clean it.
