Dental Opinions why does my mouth feel dirty with braces
I am fairly new to having metal braces. I brush after every meal but still feel as it my teeth are dirty. I also floss the best I can with having braces on and feel a little better but I really hate thinking I got food bits in my braces or that my teeth look dirty so I am always brushing my teeth. Is there a better way to really clean your teeth when you have braces on.

They do have floss picks that are for braces that should help you floss better then using regular floss. Ask you Orthodontic dental about it or go on line.
Other wise you are doing the right things brushing after you eat and flossing daily. Just look at your teeth after your done and see if you see any really reason for thinking your teeth look dirty.
Metal braces do make your teeth look darker because the are silver in color. If you really still bother by it talk things over with your dentist and see what they can suggest to you
