I want to keep my teeth and braces clean, but I'm SUPER lazy sometimes. What should I do?

Question:

I have braces right now, but sometimes I am very lazy and sometimes just skip brushing altogether. What should I do to stop my lazy habits? I don't want to have stains when I get my braces off. Also, I am very lazy when I have to pick the food parts out of my mouth with the picking thingy the orthodontist gave me. I need to stop being lazy. I don't know how. =[

Answers:
just think off yourself throwing away $5000 everytime ur too lazy to clean ur teeth. also make it a habit to maybe clean ur teeth when u get out of the shower. I had invisalign before which was cool, but it was also work, i had to take em out everytime i ate, and i had to brush my teeth after i was done, and put em back in. and u wouldnt believe the compliments i get on my teeth now... its worth it, it gives u a better appearance.

At the very least, use dental floss (if possible) and definitely use a good mouthwash like Listerine.

well just tal your self into it, and really it reflects on you, cuz if u hav food in ur teeth , ppl will notice n stuff,, start with something else like pick up all the clothes on your floor n then see how you feel, i bet you will feel better and want to do more and if not, drink some coffee then you'll be awake and want something to do

I know how. Follow a dentist around for a few hours and listen to the screams of their victims. It will make you want to brush your teeth.

Just think that if you don't brush your teeth.. you might have to have braces on for longer because when you go to get them tightened.. the ortho might say they are too dirty and have to re-do them all over again!!
