What is the best toothbrush or dental care system to use with braces?

My 9 y/o daughter got braces and I want to make sure that her teeth are getting cleaned properly. Any suggestions? Thanks.

What is the best toothbrush or dental care system to use with braces?
Sonicare is especially recommended for someone with braces.





Sonicare Elite is my top choice. There are many different model designations, but the "motors" are all pretty much the same. The kits are different because they pack different accessories. Some have two brush heads and some have four. Some have a travel bag and some have a wall-mount charger instead of a counter top charger.





Just read the label carefully and buy what you need. Bear in mind that you will have to replace the brush heads about every six months, so see if it is cheaper to buy a few extra brush heads in one of the kits.





Otherwise, buy a Sonicare, read and follow the directions. The directions are very clear and easy to understand.





If you want to try a Sonicare without taking out a loan, I've got good news for you. I just bought one for THIRTY DOLLARS. It uses two "AA" batteries, so you are not paying for a charger, etc. I have no idea how long the batteries last (yet), but $70 would buy a boat load of batteries. It seems to be equally effective as the rechargeable version with the new batteries.
Reply:you can find a special toothbrush for braces in supermarket, drug store or dental store, the shape is made special for teeth with braces... it will surely clean the teeth your kid. and dont forget to visit dentist @ least once a month ^_^ gud luck
Reply:oral-b has a special toothbrush for braces. you can also use those water jet or water picks to clean around braces, but it must not substitute the toothbrushing. =)
