Buy yourself some Jania Whitening tooth Spray. If you spray this into your mouth, it creates a lot a saliva and oxygenates and therefore you will be able to swish out your mouth, and it is specifically designed to clean your teeth without a toothbrush. This really helps remove all of the bits in between your braces and gives you lovely fresh breath and white teeth too!

Go to the bathroom and just rinse out your mouth with water, or bring a small mouthwash. This will prevent cavities, too! I had braces for 4 years, and I know how awful it is. Goodluck, I hope it helps.

You can buy little things, that are kind of stiff at one end, that have bristles you can clean with. Check various dental sites, etc for them.
Also, (but these are less discrete) you can buy, from Boots and other health stores, Oral-B slip on toothbrush. It's like a thing you can slip onto your finger and you clean your teeth and braces with them.

When i had braces, i found two things really worked,
#1, drink water, wash it round your mouth (mouthwash style), swallow it, along with the food that got stuck. This sounds gross, but hey, you would have eaten that food anyway. This is also pretty discreet.
#2, Hard to explain, but sort of suck your teeth after youve finshed eating, this helps to get stuff out of your brace.
Hope this helps. Braces are annoying, but there so worth it

Go in the bathroom and swish really good, bring toothpicks just in case, then get those "brush up" things. They are individually packed disposable toothbrushes with the toothpaste on them that fit on your finger....it's just a small little packet. Look in the toothpaste section at the drug store.

I would think that the best thing for you to do would be to bring a toothbrush to school to school. You could buy a fold up one that would be small and a small toothpaste. You will be more comfortable then

There is this thing that is like a plastic needle, you tie floss around it, and weave through your braces. There is proxy brushes, and of course, toothbrushes. Ask your orthodontist.

Bring an extra toothbrush and toothpaste to school. Brush after lunch. Also, buy those floss sticks to get those hard to get to areas.
