Users of braces need a special toothbrush for braces to clean their teeth thoroughly. Without a special brush, food residue can turn into plaque that causes cavities and gum inflammation, so it is important to use it every day. A special toothbrush for braces usually has soft bristles with a V-cut design and a small head, effective for cleaning teeth and braces gaps, including the back part. Various shapes and types of special toothbrushes for braces are available, from conventional brushes with curved handles to interdental brushes with straight handles, allowing for selection according to needs.

"If the remaining food and bacteria harden into dental calculus, the movement of teeth will be hindered. Therefore, brace users must use an orthodontic brush and interdental brush to clean their teeth and mouth. Here is how to choose the right toothbrush for brace users.."

Orthodontic toothbrushes have bristles in a V-shape in the middle to accommodate braces. Soft bristles and a small head are highly recommended for cleaning even the back teeth. Choose an orthodontic toothbrush that is equipped with a tongue cleaner at the back of the brush head for optimal oral hygiene.

Interdental brush cleans the gaps between teeth and brackets with soft bristles and pointed tips, effectively removing food residues. Its slim shape facilitates cleaning in hard-to-reach areas. Some interdental brushes even use softer silicone rubber material, suitable for sensitive gums and teeth.

Both conventional toothbrushes and interdental brushes are available in straight and curved handle versions. Some interdental brushes have flexible handles that can be adjusted to the contour of the teeth. Brace wearers should choose the most comfortable handle shape, especially interdental brushes with flexible handles that can be bent to clean the gaps.

Feathers with V-cut pattern clean the teeth wire with maximum effect, and the non-slip grip handle facilitates control while brushing teeth. Brace wearers need to adapt to a different cleaning method. Choose a toothbrush with soft bristles and a small head for maximum cleanliness, healthy gums, and secure braces.
