Can people with braces brush their teeth with an electric toothbrush?

Of course. Because the adhesive can firmly adhere the bracket (braces) to the teeth, it can withstand the slight vibration of the teeth when chewing food, the mechanical force of brushing teeth and the strong vibration of the electric toothbrush. In addition, ordinary people can use electric toothbrush to remove dental plaque more effectively, and can clean teeth and brackets (braces) better in orthodontic treatment, so it can be used.

First, brush your teeth with braces more carefully than usual! And be sure to brush for more than 2 minutes. Brush it sooner or later, or you will get dental disease easily. Second, if you wear braces, of course, you should use an electric toothbrush, which is cleaner than ordinary toothbrushes.

Orthodontic braces are composed of archwires and brackets. The bracket is bonded to the teeth by adhesive, and the archwire is fixed on the bracket. The arch wire has a certain tension, and the force of the teeth is transmitted to the alveolar bone, which absorbs and reconstructs and moves the teeth. It can be seen that the force of braces on teeth is relatively large, such as general chewing force, slight vibration force and mechanical force when brushing teeth. , can bear, so don't wear braces.

Moreover, sonic toothbrush can clean teeth better, because brackets and archwires are stuck to teeth, and there are many small areas where food residues are easy to accumulate, which is difficult to clean with a simple toothbrush. Even if you master the standard method of bathing and brushing your teeth, it is difficult to ensure that you brush your teeth step by step every time in real life. And constantly changing the angle to clean them is very time-consuming and laborious, but it is more convenient and faster to clean them with an acoustic toothbrush, leaving no dead ends.

Although the braces are strong, there is no problem in brushing your teeth, so you should pay special attention to what you usually eat. For example, if you want to eat less rice cakes and milk candy, your braces will stick easily. Also eat less food that consumes teeth, such as corn and apples, and braces are easy to fall off. If the bracket falls off, you should go to the hospital in time, otherwise it may affect the orthodontic effect.

Brush your teeth not only after every meal, but also after eating fruits and snacks, and floss your teeth at night, preferably with an electric toothbrush. When wearing braces, it is easy to have food residue, and when the enamel is not good, it is easy to get dental caries. I filled my teeth twice while wearing braces, and there was dental caries between the two teeth.

When you go out, you can buy a portable toothbrush or bring a small bottle of mouthwash. If not, remember to rinse your mouth after dinner.
