Put toothpaste onto your toothbrush. Press the bristles of your toothbrush to the front of your teeth on top of your braces and gently brushed them in a circular motion. Press the bristles to the back of your bottom teeth and repeat the circular motion. Be sure to brush up and down, as well. Place the bristles behind your top teeth and brush up and down. Place the bristles on top of your teeth and brush backward and forward. Place the bristles on your tongue and brush backward and forward until you have cleaned the entire tongue.
