When you brush your teeth can you brush on top of your braces?
Yes. I do it to get the plaque of the brackets. And bits of food. I wouldn't worry about brushing them definitely not. Just treat them like your normal part of your tooth. Braces are tough they have to be. Sekhmet
Why shouldn't you brush your teeth with baking soda when you have braces?
Baking soda will give a bleaching/whitening effect on your teeth. If you whiten your teeth while having braces, then you will not whiten the areas where the brackets are attached to your teeth. When the braces are removed then you will end up with small square patches that are darker than the rest of your teeth.
