Using an Oral-B Electric Toothbrush makes this routine easy. Get started: Remove elastics, bands, or removable parts of orthodontic appliances. Clean your braces: Carefully clean around wires and pins. Brush each wire: Move top to bottom, and all the way around upper and lower teeth.

Rinse off your toothbrush and apply your favorite toothpaste. Hold the toothbrush at a 45-degree angle to your gum line. Start moving the brush in circular motions around your braces and teeth. Clean the front, back, and top of each tooth for two minutes total. Spend about 30 seconds properly brushing each quadrant of your mouth.

Brush them at a 45-degree angle. You need to keep tilting your brush to get it inside all the brackets. Take short circular strokes to get inside gums and braces. And take flat strokes to clean the surface. Go slow and gentle on both teeth and braces. Brush for more than 2 minutes when you are on braces.
