lately, I have been using a small chisel to clean my teeth. Should I floss more?

Don't worry about it; keep using the chisel - pretty soon, you'll be able to floss with the mooring line from your bass boat!\nYee-haw!

You're brushing to hard and you've worn away the enamel.  Use a the softest brush and sensodyne toothpaste - it fills in the pores on teeth.

Not only can you.. but you should if you have a cavity.  If you don't get it filled then the decay is going to eventually reach the nerve of your tooth causing the need for a root canal and crown.  In addition to seeing your orthodontist, make sure you are still seeing your general dentist every 6 months for routine cleanings and exams.

you should brush your teeth  at least 3 times a day.  rinsing with something like listerine between those brushings helps too.  Make sure to brush after you eat something sugary.

You really need to make sure you are brushing your teeth properly while you have braces.  Take your time while you are brushing your teeth and make sure you don't miss any areas.  Also, in addition to brushing... make sure you are flossing at least once a day by using a floss threader.

Try brushing your teeth.

In any case everybody does it once in the morning. Many do it once before retirng to bed. \nThere are some who does it after breakfast, lunch, evening tiffin etc.\nThe idea is that you dont allow enamel eroding substances to remain in the mouth and dilute it by mouthwash and brush.\nThese are small routine which if practised regularly avoids costly dental treatment later on in life.Of course you should be gentle too as otherwise you may do more damge to your gums.\nFor me I have a dental set which i wash often.

If you don't have time to brush your teeth, suck on stainless steel silverwear. Works kind of like those stainless steel soap bars you use to get the garlic smell of your hands.

Limited effect.  It will make your teeth a few shades lighter but there is a limit.  If you need serious bleaching, see your dentist.  There is also such a thing as brushing too often.

go to the dentist and have a thorough cleaning by the hygienist.  Then,  be sure to brush and floss every day.

I do, I think I brush my teeth better when I'm in the shower because I'm not worrying about where the toothpaste goes, so I'm focusing on getting that deep clean.

Use Toothpaste. Seriously, no joke, toothpaste works.

Making sure to brush properly and on a regular basis..2-3 times per day using a soft toothbrush... flossing at least once perday and seeing your dentist every 6 months for a regular cleaning and exam.  Most people are not aware that they can brush every day and go their entire lives with no cavities and still lose all of their teeth to periodontal disease due to not flossing.  I cannot stress the importance of flossing enough!!!!

Ask your dentist.  You might be able to use a removeable appliance that would be relatively inexpensive to fix a minor problem.
