Proper brushing time

2018-11-11 04:49:13
I am going through my braces treatment for getting my original bite (which had been changed due to tmj disorder). So my orthodontist said me to brush my teeth 3 times a day. So i do brushing immediately after eating each meal. Is this right time to brush my teeth or anything else? Where should i keep my elastic during eating?
