Answers:
food stuck under neath. plaque build up under neath, almost anything can cause it, just continue brushing, flossing, and mouth wash using

yOu need to brush more when you have braces. Lots of food can get stuck in there.

I would imagine so, since flossing must be impossible, as best as I can remember. But I'm sure something has been made that you can use to counter that. Ask your orthodontist. Maybe a mouthwash or somesuch, but just ask your orthodontist. God Bless you.

Everyone gets bad breath. With braces it can be worse because it's harder to get to all the nooks and crannys of your mouth.

When I had braces I found flossing was impossible. I tried it once, it was like threading 30 + needles, and I deemed it a waste of time. I did brush after every meal and used mouthwash (Listerene) a lot. The listerene breath strips are also great if you can't have a bottle near by.

No believe me no..I had them for more than 4 years & it never happened to me I think you just need to brush them on a regular basis cause food sticks in there.

Of course no. They are stainless and doesnt cause any smell. You only get bad breath if you doesnt clean your teeth, anyway there is a special brush for braces. But believe me, it doesnt affect your breath

i got invisible braces. but i can't smell anything

No, I do not think bad breath is normal .
By drinking plenty of water and brushing
your teeth regularly, you can prevent bad
breath. I found the home remedies at
