Brent got his braces this past week. He chose royal blue for his first color. Only on the top at this point. Total cost of orthodontist care? $5350!!! Insurance pays $1500. He better brush REALLY well with that new sonic toothbrush. I asked Alan how they could afford to just give Brent such an expensive toothbrush and he just stared at me like I'd lost my mind!! Look at all the stuff he got...dental brushes, wax, special floss, floss threaders, antimicrobial mouth wash, check your brushing tablets....Man, it's a new world!

Hi Brent! I have a sonicare tooth brush also. I love it! Did you know how long the American Dental Association recommends you brush your teeth to be effective? 2 minutes! Do you know how long the average American brushes their teeth? 30 seconds. So the Sonicare toothbrush helps you by timing your brushing for the full 2minutes.

Wow! I love the blue color! That is so cool. How many colors do they have available that you can choose from? Do they have a color chart or how do you do that?
And your teeth look SOOO CLEAN in those photos! You are doing a great job of cleaning them!
I found that the hardest thing to clean out of braces were tiny bits of popcorn. Watch out for those little guys! :)
