You should brush your teeth 4-5 times per day.
1. Brush back and forth across and between the wires and gums on the upper and lower to loosen any food particles.
2. Next, brush correctly as if you had no brackets or appliances on.
3. Then start on the outside of the uppers with the bristles at a 45 degree angle toward the gum and scrub with a circular motion two or three teeth at a time using ten strokes, then move on.
4. Next, do the same on the inner surface of the upper teeth.
5. Finally, go to the lower teeth and repeat steps 2, 3 and 4.
Look in a mirror to see if you have missed any places. Your teeth, brackets and wires should be free of any food particles and plaque.
