I brush after every meal and use those GUM toothpicks to floss because I have trouble running the floss thread with braces, but still face some tartar. I been reading good reviews of oral b and those waterpik.

Does anyone use these products with braces mind recommending one to me? So many oral b products, I have no clue which is good.

Unfortunately you will always get tartar buildup. Your saliva has minerals and will stick to leftover plaque and calcify. At best, you may get about 90 to 95% plaque removal (most only get 50 to 75% and many don't even brush in my location). Some people's saliva have more mineral content than others. It's hard to look up reviews on hygiene products since many are sponsored and biased. Call your orthodontist office and hear what they recommend. You shouldn't go wrong with Oral B as long as you use it.
