Brush with a fluoride-fortified toothpaste, twice a day for two minutes each time. And floss nightly, using a floss threader to more easily reach between your brackets! Using mouthwash is a great idea for dental health, but if you have ceramic braces, choose one that’s a clear or light color. You can also dilute the mouthwash with water so it’s less colored and less likely to stain your bands.
