Frequently asked questions
Why should I use interdental brushes with braces?
Braces create many hard-to-reach areas around brackets and wires where plaque and food particles can easily build up. Interdental brushes help clean these areas particularly thoroughly alongside your toothbrush. Regular use supports a healthy oral flora and can help prevent cavities, gum irritation and staining during orthodontic treatment.
Can CPS ortho brushes clean thoroughly around brackets and wires?
Yes. CPS ortho brushes help clean hard-to-reach areas comfortably and precisely around brackets, wires and other orthodontic appliances.
How do I clean effectively under orthodontic wires?
Guide the interdental brush gently back and forth between the teeth and underneath the orthodontic wires. Choosing the right size is important: the brush should glide through the interdental space without pressure.With the right size, cleaning feels gentle, comfortable and effortless.
How do I clean my teeth properly with braces?
Cleaning teeth with braces requires a little more attention, as plaque can build up more easily around brackets and wires. An orthodontic toothbrush such as the CS ortho helps keep these areas clean while remaining gentle on teeth and gums. Interdental brushes complete the routine by helping keep hard-to-reach spaces between the teeth and under the wires clean.
How often should I replace my orthodontic toothbrush?
If you wear braces, the filaments of your toothbrush usually wear out more quickly because of brackets and wires. That’s why we recommend replacing your CS ortho toothbrush every 6–8 weeks – or sooner if the filaments bend or lose their shape.
Can soft bristles clean properly around braces?
Yes. The ultra-soft Curen® filaments of Curaprox toothbrushes clean thoroughly around brackets while remaining exceptionally gentle at the same time. During orthodontic treatment, this helps care for teeth and sensitive gums with extra gentleness.
