Milwaukee Wisconsin Dentist Tony Cigno Publishes a New Article Sharing Proper Tooth Brushing Techniques for Those with Braces

Tony Cigno, Wisconsin family dentist, explains why it’s vital to brush correctly whenever you wear braces, even if it’s not easy.

Greenfield, WI — November 18, 2016 — Wisconsin Dentist Tony Cigno recently published an article titled, “Proper Brushing with Braces – It’s Not Necessarily Easy but It’s Oh So Important!”

Dr. Tony CignoAs Dr. Cigno explains, if you have braces, there are likely few other times in your life when proper tooth brushing and dental care is so important. Although, he adds, it definitely isn’t easy. “The key,” he adds, “is knowing the right way to brush when you have braces on your teeth and knowing what to avoid too!”

Dr. Tony Cigno then goes on to give three key tips for brushing with braces and two bonus tips for braces care.

First, he instructs, be sure to use the right toothbrush for brushing with braces. There are manual and electric toothbrushes specifically made for people who are wearing braces.

Then, he discusses how to actually brush in the right way, cautioning that brushing harder is not always better. Primarily, because hard brushing puts the wearer at risk of knocking braces out of alignment or damaging brackets. Furthermore, brushing the teeth too hard while wearing braces can destroy cementum-the natural substance produced in the mouth and key to the effectiveness of braces.

Additionally, Dr. Cigno gives tips for flossing while wearing braces and advice for proper braces dental care.
