Don't be happy after having only brushed your teeth. Brushing does not remove the plaque and particles of food between your teeth and under braces. You are required to floss these spaces at least once a day to avoid the accumulation of bacteria. The type of floss you have to choose depends on how much space you have between your teeth. You can choose any floss because there is no major difference in the effectiveness based on the type of floss used. Use unwaxed floss because it's thinner and easier to slide through small spaces. Remember that you have to be careful while flossing your teeth, so that you do not injure your gum. Be on your guard while inserting the floss between two teeth and using a back and forth motion. Gently bring the floss to the gum line, but don't force it under the gums. In the shape of the letter 'C', curve the floss around the edge of your tooth and slide it up and down the side of each tooth. Repeat this process between all your teeth, and don't forget to floss the back sides of your teeth. Keep these things in your mind while flossing and be carefree!
