Yea it sucks. What i use is a water pick. It really gets everything out of your teeth. Then I finish it off with listerine :)

im guessing that almost everything gets stuck in braces but perhaps you could brush your teeth frequently?

YES!!!
but like i always clean my like braces after every bite.. like i run my tongue over to make sure thre arent any stuck in my braces

i got mine off a couple weeks ago.
yeah i did get everything stuck in my braces, then if i was out in public i would try to clean them with my tongue and get the food out, it would look weird!! lol

I know what you mean, but I dont have that much of a problem with that as you seem to make it out to be.

I chew gum a lot, and that is useful for getting stuff out of your braces.

i mostly get stuff stuck in my braces, but not all the time. try brushing your teeth after meals.

tooth picks work for me!
oh yah! I LOVE OREOS!
but i hate eating them with my braces!

i knpow wat u mean.!
i try getting da food off with my tounge.
if im in a public place i go to da bathroom n rinse my mouth reall quick.it gets most of da food leftover out :D

yeah, it always happens to me too. i like the GUM brand go-between brushes (they make a version that folds into the cover, like a travel toothbrush) i use them at school after lunch or if i'm eating away from home & cant brush right away. i also swish with mouthwash after eating if i'm at home or with water at school.
hope this helps! good luck.

Rinse it out with water. Try to get it out with your tongue.

YES but if you think about it is worth it in the end.
