On the faces where you don&#8217;t wear fixed braces, you will notice how soft your teeth become when you use the electric toothbrush.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We recommend electric toothbrushes with a timer to control the brushing time and those with pressure sensors, which are very useful as they warn you if you are applying too much force.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p

45\u00ba towards the teeth<\/strong> and make short, gentle strokes in circles, you can also use vertical sweeping strokes from the gum to the teeth (from PINK to WHITE), do not use horizontal strokes which make the food more impacted between the teeth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Pay special attention to the posterior area of the last molars, the inner area of the teeth (in contact with the tongue) and the junction between teeth and gums (both inside and outside). If you have implants or porcelain metal crowns, you will need to take special care at the junction between the prosthesis and the gum.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The toothbrush should be <strong>changed every 3 months,<\/strong> i.e. every change of season to make it easier to remember (spring, summer, autumn, winter).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-51217 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"401\" data-src=\"https:\/\/clinicakaizen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/cepillo-interproximal-e1619432597775.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-Interproximal-brush\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">2. Interproximal brush:<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you wear<strong> fixed orthodontics<\/strong> (both on the outside and on the inside of your teeth, i.e. Incognito lingual orthodontics) this brush is essential. Use it to clean between the teeth and the arch so that the area between the teeth is well cleaned.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It is essential that you use this brush every time you brush your teeth, yes, every time! Get used to using it every time because it doesn&#8217;t take so long (a few seconds) and it will help you to have healthier gums and a fresher taste and smell in your mouth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-51217 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"401\" data-src=\"https:\/\/clinicakaizen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/cepillo-interproximal-e1619432597775.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you wear aligners it is not necessary to use interproximal brushes, unless you are missing teeth or your periodontist has told you to do so. We prefer that you use &#8220;superfloss&#8221; which is a floss that comes with a &#8220;sponge&#8221; and helps you clean without pushing on the gum, because sometimes the pressure of the brush itself can make the space bigger.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The size of interproximal brushes is standardised and the design of the handles depends on the brand. You can find them straight and bent with a 90\u00ba angle. My recommendation is to buy them straight and if you need to bend them in any area, it is very easy to do so by applying a little pressure with your finger.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you use these brushes every day, twice a day, they shouldn&#8217;t last more than 1 month. In other words, they should be changed more frequently than your usual toothbrush.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-Silk-thread\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">3. Silk thread:<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you are wearing aligners you can comfortably pass the silk thread, if you are wearing fixed orthodontics (vestibular or lingual), we recommend using &#8220;superfloss or proxyfloss&#8221; is a thread that has 3 parts:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-51218 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"318\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/clinicakaizen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Lmpieza-hilo-de-seda.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/clinicakaizen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Lmpieza-hilo-de-seda.jpg 400w, https:\/\/clinicakaizen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Lmpieza-hilo-de-seda-300x239.jpg 300w\"><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The beginning of the floss has a hard &#8220;fishing line&#8221; type area: this will help you to pass the floss from the outside (the area that faces the cheeks) to the inside, the side of the teeth that faces the tongue.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Another intermediate area that absorbs like a sponge the remains of dental plaque that you have between the teeth and is the most active part, you will pass it first over one tooth and then over the adjacent one using movements from the inside out and from top to bottom, think of drying your back with a towel&#8230; as the movement is the same.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The final area which is a normal floss: with this part you can gently enter under the gum and clean the pockets that have been created by inflammation, i.e. the gum swells, grows and forms a kind of pocket where you can&#8217;t see part of the tooth and bacteria and dental plaque accumulate. In this area you will use the floss to keep the gum clean and not inflamed.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This floss is very useful to pass it in difficult areas such as under the retention lingual arch that is used at the end of the treatment to keep the gums healthy, or when you have small black triangles that you want to keep clean but without them increasing in size.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The superfloss or proxysoft is marketed by 2 brands ORAL B and GUM that you will find in the Pharmacy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-51219 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"442\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/clinicakaizen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/oralB-super-floss.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/clinicakaizen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/oralB-super-floss.jpg 400w, https:\/\/clinicakaizen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/oralB-super-floss-271x300.jpg 271w\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I hope you have found it useful to choose your toothbrush and have an easy and clear method to brush your teeth with fixed or removable orthodontics such as Invisalign.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Would you like to know what type of toothpaste to use?
