    great tips guys 🙂
    i got my braces put on yesterday, its the first day of school so im wearing pink lipstick
    thought i may as well `embrace` it.

    also, no whitening toothpaste, the bi carb soda is no good for braces

    to clean in between braces, snip the bristles on a spare toothbrush so that only 1/4 of them are left at the top of the head…this can be used for getting in between the wire and teeth to get food out.

    im not sure about product wise, but a tip if your a fan of bubblegum, i suggest you give it up, it gets caught in your braces, and very hard to get out, also avoid very fizzy, sugary drinks, coke is the worst drink you can have while having braces,

    my son still has his braces . make sure you don`t eat anything that his hard , stickie or sweet and no hard food no lollies , clean your teeth really good use the wax if you need to replace the rubber bands no soft drinks it will pay off in the long run when it comes to fruit and vegetables cut them up small or grate them rinse after food hope this helps .

    I was given a peridontal (this mini brush which has been mentioned above). Also mouthwash and flossing will also help. Avoid eating a lot of sugary foods and hard foods as they may move the brackets (which will ultimately move your teeth in a different way).

    I just got my braces off today..and it feels funny..

    my friend had this funny brush, it was really small and looked like a tiny christmas tree and she used it to get between her braces to clean them
