    If you have braces you really should have a water flosser. I’m kind of surprised your ortho didn’t recommend one, as mine made it a requirement

      Well, they just recommended two different toothbrushes and a specialized toothpick. It takes ~40 mins to clean it all with a toothpick. So I just do it before my appointment. But at least I brush them semi regularly.

      And yes, I do have tartar in some places, I just can’t clean and would probably also have it if I regularly took care of my teeth.
