I keep getting food stuck in between my teeth with braces and its hard to get out...?

I have braces(i got them exactly a month ago)and the gap between my two front teeth is closing, but something I'm not satisifed with, is whenever I eat something at school or anywhere, food is so hard to get out. And I leave that cleaner pick thing at home, and I have to go through 2 1/2 of having food stuck in between my teeth. How can I prevent this from happening? Its bothering me a lot.

Reply:Lol that use 2 happen 2 me when I had them..I brough that brush cleaner with me to school, and they also gave me this blue floss-like thingy..that helped alot. Or just go 2 the bathroom and rinse your mouth out.
Reply:I got my braces on and face the same problem. My gaps are closing too. I just suck the food out of the brace or use my tongue to manuver it. It might not be a bad thiing to also bring the pick. Right now I have a pop corn bit stuck.
Reply:Keep toothpicks or a second cleaner pick thing in your locker.
Reply:it's stuck in the front?


do you smother your teeth with your food before you eat?


equip yourself with a fork and knife everywhere you go and chew with your back teeth.


it's a life saver

Reply:avoid eating foods that will penetrate in your braces. Go for liquids and solid yet compact foods.
Reply:There are little brushes available at your drug store, that a lot of folks use as flosses. I use them as a floss, and one of my friends, who has dental implants, uses them to clean between the implants. They aren't expensive, are very small, and very efficient. You can even use tooth paste with them. Go get some.
Reply:Yeah, this is the worst!! Unfortunately, there's not alot you can do about it...it's part of having braces. But Sephora makes a great travel toothbrush kit with the cleaner pics in it. Even when I was done with those pics...I just stuck in refills from home. You end up having to brush more with braces to remove 'stuck' food (yuck).
Reply:MAYBE AT SCHOOL ETC. DRINK AND ENERGIZING DRINK OR SOMETHING YOU KNOW OF THAT DOESNT STICK, RINSE YOU MOUTH WITH WATER TOO. WHEN HOME EAT WHATEVER.
Reply:not eating lunch was a bad sugestion. Look through your lunch. Items such as clemintines might not be the best choice. Sadly, there really isn't much you can do about this. Try to keep a pick or something at hand and eat foods that aren't "stringy". Such as a sandwhich, prezels, and an apple or banana. as your gap closes it will get better. I also had brases for 2.5 years. and after the first half year I didn't have so much of a problem. So just keep doing your best and they will come off sooner. you'll be so happy with your perfect teeth!
Reply:Well I lost the pick thing and got another at walgreens for 2.49 and there was 4 in there so i bring one to school but lost the others. Also bring floss!
Reply:eat different food or wash your mouth out in the bathroom
