If you wear braces or thinking of getting it, then you should know that it is high maintenance and it takes a lot of time to get between each bracket to clean the teeth and remove plaque. Some braces essentials that I recommended are:
- G-U-M Soft Picks
- G-U-M Eez Thru Floss Threaders
- G-U-M Proxabrush Go-Between Cleaners
- G-U-M Proxabrush Refills
- ACT Braces Care Anticavity Flouride Mouthwash Clean Mint
- Phillips Sonicare BreathRx Tongue Scraper

G-U-M Soft Picks
G-U-M Soft-Picks are not made with natural rubber latex.

G-U-M Eez Thru Floss Threaders
If you are having difficulties getting the floss through the braces wire, bridges, implants, crowns and between the teeth, then you are going to need floss threaders. Simply use the Floss Threaders to pass the floss threader through space between teeth or under the appliance. This will help you to complete flossing procedures as recommended by the orthodontist.

G-U-M Proxabrush Go Between Cleaners
G-U-M Proxabrush Refills
Proxabrush works effectively like string floss. The wire is coated with Nylon that protects dental restorations and galvanic shock. The bristles have a patented Chlorhexidine antibacterial coating that helps to prevent the bristles from bacterial growth. Proxabrush refills should only be used with Proxabrush handle and the refills should not be used alone. Proxabrush should not be forced into tight spaces, do not bend or twist wire during use.
