Written by The Hygiene Team 27th January Ideally, when in braces, we recommend you brush your teeth three times a day, but that is not always possible during the day. Which is why mouthwash can be a great asset. As with most hygienists, we always recommend products which contain fluoride, because it protects and strengthens your tooth enamel.
In London, and a lot of other areas in the UK, the water is not fluoridated, so it is particularly beneficial to choose toothpaste and mouthwash with added fluoride.
Mouthwash often contains alcohol to create a solution for the essential oils that makes some branded products taste cleansing and effective. In the past, alcohol was considered to be the most effective solution for delivering a powerful breath-freshening hit. Moreover, some people find that the alcohol in mouthwash can sting a little, especially if you have an ulcer or sensitive gums.
Of course, brushing and flossing is essential, and we recommend that you try and extend your brushing and flossing regime whilst in braces, whether fixed braces or aligners.

Porphyrominas Gingivalis : When gums are not kept healthy by thorough thoroughly removing daily plaque, this bacterium can impact gum health and supporting bone. For braces wearers, brushing and flossing away the food particles, starches, and sugars that can lead to feed these types of plaque bacteria can be even harder to remove than for non-brace wearers. This can lead to:.
Tartar buildup, which can only be removed by a dental professional typically by the hygienist so dental professional is all inclusive vs dentist.
Plaque accumulation over time can leave gums more susceptible to swelling, bleeding, and sensitivity and cavities. Fortunately, stepping up your oral care routine to twice daily brushing with an electric toothbrush like the Oral-B iO will help remove the bacterial plaque from your teeth. Plus, floss specially designed to clean between teeth, brackets, and wires, like Oral-B Super Floss can help remove more plaque buildup from hard to reach places especially between teeth where most plaque problems start.
To further keep your teeth and gums in good condition try rinsing with a mouthwash to freshen your breath, prevent cavities, and keep your mouth clean. Reinforce the strength of your teeth and help reveal a straighter, healthy smile once your braces come off by adding a mouthwash to your daily routine. Try swishing after every meal or especially before bed to help rinse away more food particles and control plaque growth.
