Is there a proper way to brush your teeth with braces
I just had my braces put on yesterday and I was not paying any attention when the girl was telling me how to brush and floss. I was in a mood about having to have braces so at the time I did not care. Now I would like to know if there is a special way I am to brush my teeth with braces on? I am finding it hard as it is to floss with the dumb things on my teeth. Do I have to brush differently to?

No there is no special way to brush with braces just that you do brush at least twice a day and floss. Now there are special toothbrushes and floss you can get for braces. You can find them at your local drug store or on line.
