Choosing an electric toothbrush for braces starts with a comfortable brush head and a routine that reaches around brackets, wires and every tooth surface.

When you have braces, brushing your teeth properly becomes even more important than before. It is essential to have an excellent oral hygiene routine when you have orthodontic treatment. There are many different types of braces on the market. No matter what type of braces you have, you will need to put a bit more effort into your dental habits than others who don’t.

Food and plaque can collect around orthodontic appliances. Choose a soft-bristled brush, clean carefully around brackets and keep a consistent routine. The American Dental Association brushing guidance recommends twice-daily brushing for two minutes with fluoride toothpaste.

The ONOSONIC   electric sonic toothbrush has the ability to vibrate at high velocity (up to 41,000 brush strokes every minute). This sonic speed generates dynamic pressure waves near the bristle tips of the toothbrush, resulting in the production of bubbles that work to dislodge plaque on the surface of the teeth and braces.

Using an ONOSONIC  water flosser can be an excellent addition to your dental hygiene routine. A water flosser is excellent for helping dislodge pieces of food that get stuck under wires and braces. Ask your orthodontist which interdental cleaning method suits your braces.

Brushing your teeth with braces step by step.

Rinse your toothbrush and apply toothpaste.

Position your onosonic electric toothbrush at a 45-degree angle to the gums, and then to the tops and bottoms of your braces.

Select the desired mode by pushing the multifunction button within 3 seconds.

Guide the sonic brush slowly along each tooth and around brackets with light pressure; avoid forceful scrubbing.

Brush the fronts, backs, and chewing surfaces of all your teeth.

Brush your teeth thoroughly and methodically for at least two minutes.

Your Onosonic electric toothbrush has 2 built-in timers.

The QUADPACER 30 sec interval timer indicates when it’s time to move to another

quadrant of the mouth.

The SMART TIMER helps you reach the dentist's recommended brushing time of 2 minutes.

In order to maximize cleaning effectiveness, divide your mouth into 4 sections.

Start with section one and brush each section for 30 seconds.

There will be a gentle pulse at each 30-second interval, indicating when to move on to the next section.

Your electronic toothbrush will automatically turn off after 2 minutes.

Remember to brush your tongue with ONOSONIC tongue cleaner to remove bacteria and keep your breath fresh.

Questions about electric toothbrushes for braces

What features should I look for?

Look for a compact head, soft bristles, a comfortable cleaning mode and a timer. See DX-1 specifications and current UAE availability and choose compatible replacement brush heads.

Does brushing replace cleaning between teeth?

No. Brushing cleans accessible surfaces; daily interdental cleaning addresses spaces the bristles cannot reach. Your orthodontist can recommend floss threaders, interdental brushes or an appropriate water-flossing routine.
