Toothbrushes made for braces
Where do You get the braces that are v-shaped,made for braces? I am using a regular toothbrush and ruining the bristles. How often does everyone change their toothbrush if they are using a regular one? I also have an oral b one I use at night.

You can ask your ortho or dental office if you can order them in bulk since they usually have companies they order bulk quantities. I ask my dental office and it was only $12 USD for 12 oral-b ortho cut travel brushes. I keep one in my purse, my bf's house, my work, my car, I keep em everywhere!

Re: Toothbrushes made for braces
I use a child's toothbrush which I buy at my local supermarket; it's not that dissimilar to an orthodontic toothbrush and it costs a lot less. I change it every three months.Where do You get the braces that are v-shaped,made for braces? I am using a regular toothbrush and ruining the bristles.

I got mine from the link KK provided Also I usually buy the soft bristled toothbrushes in the store..mostly the no name brands--they do the job just as good. I replace them every 3 months. There are even some on the market that have color codes to show when its time to replace it-AmericanFare has some nice ones.
