How can I get rid of plaque on Braces?
Posted on July 31, 2010
I have braces and on my bottom front teeth, I noticed that there is starting to be a lot of plaque buildup on the sides of the brackets themselves and jointly on my teeth a little. I floss, brush with a Sonicaire, brush with a regular toothbrush, and use the Waterpik on high pressure every single day. My gums are in good health but I just noticed that the amount of plaque down there is growing. It's been barely 3 months since my last teeth cleaning.
How can I get rid of this plaque buildup? Should I just go for another cleaning and pay myself (my insurance only covers 2 per year)? I think it'll only cost me like anyway. What do you recommend?

I would pay the $35 to make sure you get a good cleaning. You don’t want to have permanent marks or stains once your braces come off.
