Not everyone was lucky enough to have beautiful teeth from nature, but you can correct the shortcomings due to modern orthodonic systems - brackets . These metal plates are permanently fixed on the teeth and that the treatment is beneficial, and not to the detriment of them requires careful care.
To clean hard-to-reach places, which with the installation of the orthodonical system appeared even more, there is a special toothbrush for brackets and not one. It is recommended to use at least three different types for qualitative cleaning of the oral cavity during the wearing of braces.
What are the orthodonic brushes for braces?
Toothbrushes for cleaning braces are of three types, each of which is responsible for a certain area of work:
- Ershiki - it is easy to clean places of contamination with plaque under the metal arc and in wide interdental spaces.
- Single-beam brushes - mini-brushes, consisting of a single bundle of bristles, the hairs in which are arranged in a circle. This brush is necessary for cleaning around each plate, that is, for almost a jeweler's job.
- A V-notch brush is designed for simultaneous cleaning of both braces and teeth, but does not cancel cleaning with other brushes from the set. Due to the understated central part to hard-to-reach places it is possible to reach faster and at the same time pay attention to the lateral surface of the tooth.
The use of toothbrushes for cleaning braces does not negate the use of a conventional brush, which completes each cleaning. She quickly cleans the chewing surface, which can not cope with specialized devices. And for the removal of food residues between the teeth it is recommended to use floss - a special dental thread with impregnation.
In addition to manual there is also an electric toothbrush for braces on which various nozzles are installed, and which has several operating ranges. As a rule, such brush in a minute makes about 30 thousand movements and very effectively cleans teeth and braces.
