Orthodontic Care Braces

A floss threader helps get floss between teeth when direct access to the gumline isn't possible; for example, when you have braces. Simply thread your 18" of floss through the threader loop, insert threader between teeth under the archwire, and slide floss up and down the tooth surface and under the gumline.
 Orthodontic brushes are designed to clean teeth and orthodontic brackets. For best results, use short back-and-forth motions when cleaning. You might also want to try using the new Technique™ Quad-Grip™ toothbrush with four angled thumbpads. Dental educators recommend this brush and the "Charters" Method of brushing (with bristles at a 45° angle to the orthodontic appliances)
to effectively clean teeth during orthodontic care. And don't forget to brush your gumline and biting surfaces.
 The GUM® Proxabrush Interdental System is perfect for cleaning between archwire and teeth and for larger spaces between teeth. Just find the size or sizes of Proxabrush you need, gently insert into the space, and clean with a gentle in-and-out motion. Proxabrushes come with fine nylon cylindrical or tapered bristles. And for oral hygiene on the go, use the Proxabrush Trav-Ler.
