Braces help straighten your smile, but cleaning between brackets and wires can be difficult, leaving food particles and decay-causing bacteria behind. Without proper oral care while wearing braces, you put yourself at risk of developing cavities, tooth decay and gum disease. Try rinsing with a mouthwash for braces to help protect your teeth and ensure they stay healthy while straightening.

Best Mouthwash for Braces

Look for a rinse that’s fortified with fluoride, the only ingredient proven to fight tooth decay.

For Kids:

It’s important for kids with braces to follow a thorough oral care routine of brushing twice and flossing once a day, adding a fluoride rinse that’s known to reduce cavities can help ensure they clean every nook and cranny for a healthier smile.

For Gum Health:

Braces can leave your teeth and gums feeling more sensitive, try swishing with a gum care mouthwash to promote gum health, fight gum disease, and strengthen your teeth.

For Tooth Decay:

When food is trapped between wires and brackets, it can lead to tartar, cavities and decay. Use an anticavity fluoride rinse to ensure that when your braces finally come off, there won’t be any signs of decay lurking underneath.

For Dry Mouth:

To get instantly fresher breath use an alcohol-free mouthwash to add moisture and curb dry mouth symptoms.

For Whitening:

You don’t have to choose between having straight teeth and a whiter smile, with Crest 3D White Diamond Strong Mouthwash you can have both.

It can be daunting to clean around braces, and a mouthwash can help. However, a rinse cannot replace a proper oral care routine. For an even better clean, switch to an electric toothbrush equipped with a specialized brush head just for braces, like the Oral-B Pro 7000, and clean between teeth with a floss designed to remove debris from brace-wearing smiles.
