Children should always take care of their teeth, but daily tasks like brushing and flossing are especially important when they have braces. Sometimes they need a little extra encouragement or motivation to stick to their orthodontist's recommendations. Thankfully, there are apps for that. 

A Brief Guide to Oral Care Apps

1. Disney Magic Timer®

This app collaborates with major oral health brands like Oral-B® and Crest® to create a pleasant oral health experience for your child. The app gives them rewards for brushing and lets them enjoy the Disney® characters they love.

2. BrushDJ

Brushing for 2 minutes is recommended by most dentists and orthodontists, but it can be boring simply waiting for a timer to go off. With the BrushDJ app, you or your kids can choose a song and jam out to it while you clean your teeth. This app turns a mundane daily activity into a fun musical session to look forward to. 

3. Text2Floss®

This app puts you on a text-list that sends you oral tips every day. The extra information is great for staying well-informed and teaching your children. It’s free to sign up, and the app even rewards good habits with coupons for oral health products to keep your child motivated.
