I've recently got my braces in and I wanted to know how often your supposed to brush them? I usually clean mine twice a day: I thoroughly brush with just a toothbrush in the morning and once before I go to bed, where I use a toothbrush, proxy brush and mouthwash. I thought this would be enough but I've looked it up and nearly everyone says to floss and brush after EVERY meal, otherwise you'll get stains. I did ask my dentist about flossing and he said I wouldn't be able to because of the brace so he said it was fine. Surely if no food gets stuck or if it does, just pick it out and it would be fine?
Please help as I feel really paranoid about this now, I already refuse to eat or drink anything that could damage the brace/teeth. I've waited years for my brace and I don't want to ruin the result.
Thanks and sorry for the long post!
