As we have already mentioned in another post, throughout the day the mouth and, especially the teeth, receive many attacks derived from food, drinks or even the air itself. Therefore, you have to have a proper dental cleaning to avoid ailments and even more so, when you wear orthodontics.

Normally, when braces are worn, it is common for tartar to be generated or bacterial plaque increases, since in many cases traces of bacteria remain between the brackets and the teeth. We give you 4 tips to maintain healthy teeth while wearing orthodontics.

Tips and tricks for your dental cleaning with orthodontics

Toothbrush and toothpaste

When wearing orthodontics, the teeth are more likely to retain traces of bacteria. It is advisable to use a flexible toothbrush that can access the gaps where rigid brushes cannot reach. On the other hand, you have to use a toothpaste that helps you repair the exterior and interior of tooth enamel.

Like the Yotuel All In One Wintegreen toothpaste, which strengthens the enamel and also helps you whiten teeth thanks to its compound based on xylitol, fluorine, calcium and phosphate.

Mouthwash

This oral supplement is very suitable for those who use orthodontics, since it helps to eliminate the remains of food or bacteria that the toothbrush has not been able to eliminate. In addition, it is a good solution if you usually eat out and cannot brush your teeth.

Although remember that mouthwashes are in no way a substitute for a toothbrush. We recommend that you use multi-action mouthwashes capable of fighting bacterial plaque, repairing enamel and protecting the gums.

Interdental cleaning

Another of our recommendations is to use interdental brushes. This type of brush allows you to have a deeper cleaning since they are able to access the gaps that the normal toothbrush is not able to access.

Plate developers

Even if you use the correct products and materials in your oral cleaning, it is possible that traces of bacteria remain between the orthodontic pieces. To find out if your teeth are clean, there are plaque developers that stain teeth that are still dirty red.

There are other products that you can add to your oral cleansing ritual. These that we tell you are the most basic and recommended to have an optimal oral cleaning. If you want to discover more tips on oral cleaning, join the Yotuel community by subscribing to our newsletter.
