Braces are orthodontic devices used to correct misaligned teeth and jaws, consisting of brackets attached to the teeth, connected by wires and sometimes bands. Cleaning teeth with braces is challenging because the brackets and wires create numerous small spaces that trap food particles and plaque, making it difficult to clean thoroughly with a standard toothbrush and floss.
