Hey, take one that tastes nice. Not sure anything else matters really much (as long as it has all the good stuff like flouride etc.)

Congrats to using an electric toothbrush. This makes for sure a big difference.

And don't forget to floss, even with an electric toothbrush and the best toothpaste on earth. Dental hygiene is more important and more time consuming with braces. I'm not sure about the others, but in my experience, there is always something stuck somewhere...

I use 3 toothpastes a day.. I use whatever my mom has in the mornings.. Aquafresh sensitive or something.. then after lunch I use the prescription toothpaste my orthodontist gave me "Colgate PreviDent".. and at night I use some other type of Colgate here at my boyfriend's house.. In the morning I also use Act Restoring mouthwash... lunch time I use Peroxyl mouthwash.. night time I use Crest Pro-Health.

I notice my teeth feel the cleanest and look the whitest when I brush them with the prescription toothpaste after lunch. I think because it's basically Fluoride or whatever.. I like it, though.
