Proper brushing time during braces

2019-06-14 04:17:54
What are the proper times for brushing during orthodontic treatment through braces? Is there any necessity of brushing at morning before breakfast when I brush my teeth before bed at the previous day? How much time I should wait after a meal to brush my teeth or can I brush immediately after eating? Please help...

Brushing should usually last slightly more than 2 minutes. Yes, it's good to brush in the morning. Brush immediately after having sweet or sticky stuff, and at least twice a day.
