Hi Stanley
When wearing braces, it can be pretty difficult to clean teeth, especially in between teeth with plaque and tartar. That is why dentists recommend dental cleaning every 6 months during braces treatment.
But we can do cleaning with or without taking out the wires in between teeth. But it is better to clean teeth after taking out the wire temporarily and replace the braces after cleaning.
Please be advised to get dental cleaning regularly during braces treatment, otherwise there will be food trapped in the braces, causing gum infections such as gingivitis with bleeding and bad breath.
Thanks so much.
Warm regards,
Dr Ryan
