Oral-B Orthodontic Brush

The Oral-B toothbrushes for braces come with “V” shaped shaped bristles, specially designed to effectively remove plaque that form around the wires and the teeth themselves.

The V-shape of the bristles allows you to maneuver around the braces, letting you get to those hard to reach places. They also come with long, narrow necks for better reach and a thumb grip for greater comfort and control.

Ortho Pro Orthodontic Toothbrushes For Braces

These toothbrushes for braces are great for both adults and kids to use at home. They are compact in size, featuring special V-cut bristles for braces.

The handle is tilted at a slight angle at the head to make it easier to reach behind the front teeth and brush at those hard to get areas.

The end of the bristles are rounded and made of soft Dupont Tynex. This helps take care of the gums while brushing.

Ortho Readybrush For Braces

Ortho ReadyBrush are toothbrushes for braces that come with bristles pre-treated with powdered toothpaste. This makes it the perfect companion toothbrushes for braces to carry around when traveling.

How does it work? The powdered toothpaste treated on the bristles is activated when wet. They are disposable so after use, you do not have to worry about storage.

The bristles are also made of soft, high-quality DuPont material that is gentle on the gums but clean very well. The V-shape is also specially made for toothbrushes for braces.

There are many more kinds of toothbrushes for braces available. If you noticed from the above samples, the most common feature to watch out for is the shape of the bristles. V-shape allows for easier cleaning and maneuvering around the wires and braces.

Other important features of toothbrushes for braces are soft, round-ended bristles for brushing the gums to keep them clean but without the roughness of ordinary toothbrush bristles.

Remember that your gums play an important role in the overall health of your teeth. Healthy gums mean healthy teeth. After brushing, reinforce oral care by flossing to get rid of any food stuck between the wires.
