Brushing with braces, is 2x a day enough?

[ThatSurfin'Guy]

Hi, i've only had my braces for 4 days and my teeth are just starting to stop hurting so i will be able to brush thoroughly now but i was wondering, is brushing thoroughly with flossing as well twice a day enough to keep them healthy and prevent future problems? Also i have a constant problem of the wire behind my teeth scratching my tongue. Will my tongue get used to it and 'acclimatise' (in want of a better word) or will i just have to live with it?

Yes.!
I think brushing and flossing is more than sufficient twice in a day.
and you must get better suggestion from your nearest dentist
he can check the exact situation of your teeth and check why it scratching your tongue

Hygiene is more difficult with braces, so most ortho patients have to brush and floss more frequently than non ortho patients. If your braces are scraching your tongue, have a dentist or orthodontist adjust it because this is not something that you will get used to.
