my bad. do u brush your teeth so that u can see ur teeth in the mirror, or do u put the toothbrush in, close ur mouth, then brush.

yes = first choice
no = second choice

Never. I never do.

Meh this should be in health, and yes I do, daily, twice a day.

How can you ask if we ask if we brush our teeth open or closed then give the options yes or no?
mznikki
I brush my teeth 3 times a day with my mouth open at times, so i can see where i'm brushing

I brush with my mouth open. I always hit my gums if I close my mouth.
annonymous.

At first I thought it was just "Do you brush your teeth" and I was like Ewwwww, who doesn't? They'll rot and fall out.

I brush with my mouth open. How would you close your mouth with a toothbrush handle hangin' out?
Mr. Slowjamz
i brush my teeth regularly now that i have a root canal . i brush in the front and of the back i brush the top of my mouth and my gums and even my tounge so i dont get any gingivitis . i`m starting to floss alot now like everytime i eat i bring a floss with me when i go out .
think!IMAGINARILY
Open. I got used to it after I got braces..
But before that, I used to brush with my mouth closed.
multifaceted
Can I say both? When I brush my side teeth I close it. When I brush the front teeth I open my mouth.

This is a strange topic.

I brush with my mouth open like halfway but i don't stare directly in the mirror at it.

sprezzatura
I think I semi-open my mouth...I can see a bit of teeth but not like a lot.
skillxz
I hafta do it open, and as I brush, I'm foaming everywhere. I have major toothpaste issues as i usually find it seeping everywhere and dripping down my arm to my elbow. I literally have the santa typed mustache in toothpaste.

Skillxz, you have an AWESOME sig!

But, on topic, I brush my teeth with my mouth open and closed. Yeah, I do a combination.
medicineforluck
ive never paid attention ..
but i always keep it opened
angelrevelation
Open... My brush is electric, so it's kinda big. It would be really uncomfortable to brush with my mouth closed.

haha. exactly. i was gonna say, "that`s pretty tough to pull off."

closed when i`m using electric, but open when i`m using manual.
cornytu
I don't use the electric ones due to the fact that I have braces. I need the mirror to see myself. It's pretty difficult to brush with braces, and I do want perfect teeth. But it's killing me. _dry.gif
moninja
yes, i do brush my teeth; twice a day..with mouth open because i hate when my mouth is closed, i'm always scared i might swallow the toothpaste.
freeflow
Yes, and with my mouth open .
WickedDreamer
I have braces and a small mouth so I can't fit a adult sized tooth brush in my mouth when it's closed... it's sad... but yeah, I brush with my mouth open.

...

And now I really wanna go brush my teeth.
Stefanny
Open because I like to play with my toothbrush.

Lol, actually, it's because my toothbrush is too big for my mouth. ph34r.gif
stephinika
Open. I have an electric toothbrush so I think it's just easier and more comfortable that way.
KissMe2408
I kinda do both lol.
I brush the front with my mouth open,
but when i go to my back molars and stuff, i close my mouth.
emazing
I open my mouth whenever I brush my teeth, it makes it more easier.
alysaphobia
^ ditto.
if i'm brushing my teeth in front of someone, though, (like at a friend's house) i'll try to keep it closed.

Open
breakingdawn

jaeminnie
I brush with my mouth open. I wouldn't be able to brush them that well if my mouth were closed.
LOWinSKANK

hahaha, same here. But sometimes I brush it closed when I'm around other people just out of self consciousness and well.. the decency of not foaming at the mouth.

Do you know how silly you look in your sig? GTFO
KayleighKins
I brush the front of my teeth, the back of my teeth, and gums on both sides, and my tounge.

How can anyone brush their teeth with a closed mouth if they actually want to....brush their teeth?

Seriously unhealthy. At that point your just brushing off your enamel.
xsweetxsugarx
open.

maybe i should close it. cause i'm a messy person.

i cant even walk around brushing like what u see in the movies cause i'd be dripping everywhere. haha.
NYCin2009
I always thought it was necessary to see your teeth to brush (guess i learned that to properly clean them your have to see them); therefore, I brush with my mouth open.
WHOngos144
Open at least 3 times a day.
Trinie

Castaway

xKatt
