Basically the way they normally would. That can vary from dentist to dentist. They have some very small brushes – which they have recommended you for home use – which help get between the fixings.
They’re more likely to clean between them and do anything you can’t do yourself. But generally, if you’re keeping them nice and clean, they won’t have anything to do.
They usually clean your teeth the same way, they just brush around the metal (if their fixed braces) and they clean them like normal (usually they use very thin dental brushes). Sometimes it just takes them a little longer but not much from what I can remember.
If their not fixed braces then they’ll probably ask you to remove them during the chek-up.
