Always use a soft-bristled toothbrush that moves gently over the teeth and gums. This type of toothbrush has medium, short and hard brushes. In this case, the area around the orthodontic bracket and orthodontic wire is cleaned thoroughly. An orthodontic toothbrush with a round and long head cleans teeth and gums well. You can also use an electric toothbrush to clean orthodontic teeth. Just be careful to adjust the speed of rotation of these devices so as not to damage the wires and brackets.

The handle of the toothbrush should fit comfortably in the hand in order to be easy to use. It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that timely replacement of toothbrushes helps to maintain oral health greatly.
