16 Jan 4 Hygiene Tools for Success with Braces
Keeping those pearly whites in tip-top shape while in braces is extremely important, but it doesn’t have to be complicated!
Here are a few handy tools to have on hand for maximum success in keeping your brace and teeth clean:
1) Plackers – floss sticks specially designed to work with braces. Be sure to use the smaller, skinny side of the stick under the wire to floss.
2) Floss threader – like a plastic sewing needle for your floss! This tool will help you use regular dental floss to get in between all those teeth.
3) Super floss – this floss has a plastic “needle” tip built in and a thick floss section to help really clean out those tight spots between the teeth. An excellent all-around tool!
4) Proxy brushes – a little mini toothbrush to help clean in and around your wires and brackets. This little brush is fantastic at removing food that’s stuck around your brackets.
