Brush your teeth with orthodontic brushes only for effective cleaning as the normal brush will not be able to clean the areas under brackets..Cleaning the teeth 3 times a day mainly after your breakfast, lunch and dinner would not let the food gets stuck to your brackets and teeth.It will be better if you try to keep elastics away during eating
