Question

After you got your braces on did the orthodontist give you a special kit to clean your braces? I didn't.?

Answer 1

Mine gave me a brochure on the proper way 2 brush them w/ a regular tooth brush (in a circular motion), and they gave a small toothbrush like this http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=h...

Answer 2

Yes, mine did. Don't worry though, you are not missing out on much.

My orthodontist gave me a pack which contained a regular toothbrush, some toothpaste, some floss, wax, a spiral brush (interproximal brush) and a floss threader.

You should be able to buy all of these things from a pharmacy, dentist or your orthodontist.

Answer 3

yes. but all of the stuff you can buy at your local drugstore. it is all stuff such as brush picks, GUM brand Eez-Thru Floss Threaders, floride mouth rinse, and just a simple tooth brush. I am for sure that you can buy all of these a the rite aid store. Hope this helps!

Answer 4

No they do not all give you kits

Answer 5

I didn't get a kit, but they said I'm supposed to brush my teeth four times a day. I don't. Instead I brush them twice, and after each brushing I used Crest Pro-Health mouthwash. They say I do a really good job brushing ;)

Answer 6

i did  but it depends on the orthodontist.  ask ur friends if they did if they go there

Answer 7

well, Yes I did, but all it is is wax, and a toothbrush, some floss, and a little wire brush to get in between the brackets, to remove any food, and something similar to a needle threader, for the floss...

Answer 8

nope ur pretty much on ur own, good luck!!

Answer 9

He gave me a cleaning brush that looks like a little  Christmas tree for use in getting in between the brackets. I also got a pack of disposable things that help you floss while you're wearing braces. I can't remember receiving anything besides those for cleaning my teeth. You could probably ask your othodontist if he can give them to you, or they might be available at Wal-Mart.
