I got braces for quite awhile now, things keep getting stuck. REally annoying, does anyone have any suggestions of how to get rid of the food that stucks aside from brushing teeth? tongue.gif ( i hope this wasnt a topic started already i ran it through the search )

there are these little things you can buy at any drug store that have bristles on the ends of them and you can stick them in between your teeth and wires. they're nifty. weeee! hehe.gif

i just use my tongue . tongue.gif which is very helpful . =) but rather than that if you really cant use your tongue to get the food out, use toothpicks. that is what i use now. my two front teeth get something stuck in there no matter what. =/ _unsure.gif

Hmm. Well, when you get them for long enough, you'll master the technique of using your tongue/moving your mouth around to get food out. For now, just have a trusty mirror and toothpick and go to the washroom. =]

Yeah that's annoying...use your tongue, swish some water around, or get special floss for the braces.
