Yes, dental cleaning is not only possible during braces treatment but also crucial for the success of the overall treatment. Maintaining good oral hygiene, including regular dental cleanings, is essential to prevent issues like plaque buildup and gum disease, which can interfere with the effectiveness of braces. Proper oral hygiene helps ensure that your teeth and gums remain healthy throughout the treatment, allowing your braces to work effectively and efficiently. Additionally, dental cleanings help remove any accumulated plaque or debris around the braces, reducing the risk of tooth decay and other complications. So, yes, dental cleaning during braces treatment is not only possible but imperative for the success of the treatment.
Hello! It is definitely possible to clean teeth with braces! In fact, it's almost more important to get your teeth cleaned by a professional at a dental office, because it's a lot harder for you to keep things clean at home! Cavities get started on with teeth with braces much easier, and you don't want cavities with a new beautiful smile
Yes, it is recommended that you continue to get dental cleanings every 6 months while in active orthodontic treatment.
It is not only possible, it is mandatory that you clean them. Especially with braces.
It is possible, but difficult. This is another reason I do Invisalign. The teeth are real easy to clean.
Yes, absolutely. You have to maintain your teeth clean at all times. You have to brush your teeth after very meal and I also recommend using waterpik as a added supplement for your daily cleaning.
Absolutely, teeth need to be cleaned several times a day thoroughly if you have braces.

Hello!
Yes, it is possible but challenging in the beginning. Have a system where you spend 2 minutes total - breaking it down to 30 seconds each corner. Thank you!
