Braces Essentials

If you wear braces or thinking of getting it, then you should know that it is high maintenance and it takes a lot of time to get between each bracket to clean the teeth and remove plaque. Some braces essentials that I recommended are:

If you currently wear retainers, dentures and mouth guards you can also try these products that will help to keep these appliances clean and smelling fresh and nice.
These come in packs of 60 ct., 80 ct. and 120 ct. These work well to remove plaques, food from in between the teeth, around the brackets and rubbers. These are much easier to use than the regular floss but it should not be forced into tight spaces between teeth. The G-U-M Soft-Picks are part rubber and plastic. It has soft rubber bristles that help to massage and stimulate the gums to promote blood circulation and healthy, firm gum tissues. I recommend using these after every meal. It comes with a convenient storage case that can be used especially when you are on the go. The G-U-M Soft-Picks come in several different sizes such as advanced wide, etc.
 

G-U-M Soft-Picks are not made with natural rubber latex.

If you are having difficulties getting the floss through the braces wire, bridges, implants, crowns and between the teeth, then you are going to need floss threaders. Simply use the Floss Threaders to pass the floss threader through space between teeth or under the appliance. This will help you to complete flossing procedures as recommended by the orthodontist.

Proxabrush is one of my favorite braces essential product to uses. The Proxabrush has a flexible handle that gives a better control when cleaning hard to reach areas of the teeth. The bristles are of triangular shapes. It can be reused for up to a week and it should be rinsed after each uses to keep it clean. The Proxabrush are made with tiny bristles similar to bristles of a toothbrush but only tinier. Proxabrushes comes in various sizes made specifically to fit between teeth gap and under braces wire. The bristles are antibacterial which helps to keep it clean.

Proxabrush works effectively like string floss. The wire is coated with Nylon that protects dental restorations and galvanic shock. The bristles have a patented Chlorhexidine antibacterial coating that helps to prevent the bristles from bacterial growth. Proxabrush refills should only be used with Proxabrush handle and the refills should not be used alone. Proxabrush should not be forced into tight spaces, do not bend or twist wire during use.
