I brush my teeth in the morning (I dont normally eat breakfast) and then right before I go to sleep

[@spidy455]

Unicorn Galexey brushing your teeth right before you go to sleep is the most important time but if you have braces brushing correctly after every meal will insure you have clean teeth all day long as accumulated food right at the places you don’t brush will cause demineralization over your treatment duration...brushing in the morning before having breakfast is mainly for fresh breath as you might have not washed every little place the night before and that might cause a bad breath

[@AaaaNinja]

@@IamNi.T Sorry, I blanked on something important when typing that. If there's a gap that's too wide between teeth even flossing doesn't work. My invisalign created some gaps in the back of mine (temporarily). You have braces? I get between the gaps with those dental picks you can get at the store that look like they have tiny pipecleaners on the end. They come in different thicknesses. If you want to try that start with the tight kind and move up if needed, because it's easy to overestimate how big the gap actually is and accidentally get one that's too big. My dentist told me about them at my last cleaning. There's also a kind that has a kind of toothed rubber on the end, he said you can get those at Costco to save money. You can just also use a waterpick which is cheaper in the long run and is also good for gum health because it can also be used to clean there.

No use mouthwash

[@JordanJSparks]

Carrie .Blanding most dental professionals actually warn AGAINST using mouthwash

[@blackbutterfly233ify]

Jordan Sparks it's not the mouthwash they have a problem with. Dentists recommend not to rinse your mouth with it right after brushing. It's best to let the toothpaste sit in your mouth and use mouthwash later, especially if the toothpaste has fluoride in it. They definitely recommend using mouthwash over rinsing with water

[@JordanJSparks]

Carrie .Blanding no not just that, traditional mouthwashes have alcohol and no fluoride and actually disrupt the natural microbiome of the mouth

[@blackbutterfly233ify]

[@Zejety]

So how does this mesh with Invisalign? Waiting for 30 minutes every time would make it hard to reach the recommended wear time. Is using a waterpik really enough when you are risking trapping stuff in your trays by not brushing? I think I'll be able to avoid the super acidic stuff for the time of my treatment to avoid the issue altogether, but how bad are coffee or tomato sauce?

[@iyannakirton1810]

One observation I had is that the question people are looking for your answer to doesn’t start getting addressed within the first couple of minutes. Maybe try putting your resources at the end of your videos so that those that are likely to follow up on it still get to see it. Great channel, keep it up!

[@itsmamawolf]

aurora aurori I’m currently doing it and thats false, it depends on the client, if they aren’t wearing it as much as they should, if they follow the steps takes the same amount of time and the results are the same, just depends on the orthodontist so you want to find a good one

Studies have shown using a mouthwash after eating can neutralize the acids and give a higher ph in the mouth. So it would be safe to brush afterwards. So i use a wash first, then brush.

[@carly7935]

Hey Dr. Greg, I swish water in my mouth after eating and drinking to neutralize that acids does it stop the 20-30 minute acid attack? Or should I still wait then brush? Thank you

[@AyySorento]

There are pros and cons to all options, including brushing before, right after, and 30 minutes after. The downside to waiting 30 minutes is the bad bacteria in your mouth will ravage your teeth until the minerals go back in place. After all my research, brushing right after you eat, lightly, with a non-abrasive toothpaste is the most ideal. The fluoride in the toothpaste will help the minerals settle down faster and stronger. Rinsing with a high-fluoride mouthwash can also help. Brushing before you eat gives plaque and bacteria more room to form and waiting 30 minutes also gives bacteria more room to form. There really is no winning lol. It depends on your diet too. But brushing right after you eat can be totally safe under the right conditions with the right products.

[@basetoace3951]

Can you recommend non abrasive toothpaste? 🙏 Thank you for the tip!

[@tungyulee7575]

The main factors for a tooth cavity are food, bacteria and time. So-called the acidic condition is come from the process that bacteria (especially anaerobes) decomposed carbohydrate within the food and gradually transformed to acidic product. If we can remove any one of these 3 factors, caries won't happen. After all, we cannot eat nothing or get rid of all the anaerobes in our mouth, but at least we can reduce the existing time of the food debris, and that is what I thought about why have to brushing teeth in time. Maybe the enamel structure could be soften in the acidic condition, I don't think it will get destruction easily by brushing teeth, because the grinding force while chewing may greater than the brushing force.
