We should brush our teeth 3 times per day, after every meal. The toothbrush should be positioned at a 45^ο angle in the teeth and gingiva margin. We should brush the outer and occlusal surfaces of the teeth of both jaws with light circular movements (not with intense and linear ones). We should repeat for the inner surfaces of the teeth of both jaws in the exact same way.

After brushing the teeth, we should also brush the tongue.

 

The use of dental floss, fluoride or antiseptic mouthwashes should be decided after consultation with the orthodontist on an individual basis.
