So I've been using that special tooth brush with like the gap in the middle on the braces.
And then a regular tooth brush for my bottom teeth where I don't have braces and on the top teeth gums.
And then that little thing in between the wire.
Is this correct? Or can I just use the toothbrush with the small gap in middle?
I'm confused.
I only have braces on top teeth.
When I had braces I just used my normal toothbrush and brushed my teeth the same as I did when I didn't have braces

Interdental brush for the actual braces like the wire and brackets to get rid of bits of food that get caught in. And then brush normally with a brush like you would without braces after.

Oh ok.
See they gave me this "special brush", and I was like can I just use an ordinary brush and they were like no because of the gap or something.
But then in booklet it doesn't mention this :worry:

.
Food never got stuck in my braces so I never used the little special brushes either.

Electric toothbrush for teeth and braces, and interdental brushes for between the braces.
