How long should it take to brush your teeth when you have braces?

Question

I think im doing it to long. It takes me 30 minnits.

Answer 1

It should take you from 3-5 minutes, if you are taking 30 minutes that is entirely too long.  if that includes flossing than that is acceptable.  I have braces and i spend anywhere from 20-25 minutes a day from brushing my teeth due to the fact that i brush them several times a day.  however as long as you are taking good care of your teeth and brushing regularly then i do not see a problem with taking 30 minutes!!!

Answer 2

i'd say about 5 min cuz you gotta brush the braces, use a thin brush around your teeth and a little like pipecleaner brush to go in between each brace.

Answer 3
