I used to brush before I had breakfast but now that I have my braces in, its easier for food to get caught so I wait til I'm finished eating.

Here's my professional advice, which I am qualified to give as a licensed dentist:
Brushing after breakfast is the right thing to do. Those who do not brush after breakfast are giving the plaque and food debris stuck on their teeth an entire uninterrupted morning to rot away at their enamel. The morning breath bacteria are not harmful when swallowed. Your stomach has very strong concentrations of hydrochloric acid, and the germs in your oral cavity cannot survive in that environment. If you don't like that morning breath gross taste, rinse with mouthwash right after waking up. Eat your breakfast, then brush your teeth to protect them for the rest of the morning. Those who advocate brushing before breakfast then just rinsing afterwards have it bass-ackwards. Hope this helps.  Link Removed - Nice advertising within posts.
