If you usually use oral irrigators and electric toothbrushes, you should pay attention to replacing the nozzle and brush head regularly, and you need to replace it once after using it for up to three months, otherwise the nozzle and brush head will be aging, and it is easy to have problems such as decreased cleaning power and bacterial breeding.
Hidden danger 4, do not take good care of the aligners
Dental aligners are relatively high-precision products, whether they are taken off, they should be operated by professional dentists, and we cannot change them at will, otherwise the aligners are easy to be damaged and deformed, which will adversely affect the best effect. If you are wearing removable aligners, the aligners should also be properly kept after they are removed, and they should not be thrown around, otherwise the braces are likely to be lost and damaged.

However, it is not good for the bristles to be too soft, and it is easy to brush the teeth without cleaning, so it is recommended that you use a toothbrush with moderate bristle softness.

ThereforeDentists also recommend that everyone use electric toothbrushes and oral irrigators.
