Struggling with Dental Care

I have a hard time taking care of my teeth cause I don’t like the toothbrush bristles, most toothpaste sting in my mouth, and flossing is a pain the but with my braces as well as hurting cause I don’t don’t do it often. Do you guys have any suggestions on how to make easier for me handle, safer sensory wise, or suggestions for toothpaste that aren’t strongly flavored or sting? Does using a brush with softer bristles help?

Idk if Boie toothbrushes will be good for you cuz of your braces, but maybe you could try them?? They were so gentle that I thought they weren’t gonna clean my teeth, but they cleaned them better than any manual toothbrush I’ve ever had! Also maybe a water floss thing could be better for you? I’ve been looking into getting one of those as well because I heard it doesn’t hurt and it’s easier to use Wishing you luck in finding what feels right for you!
