Fuck it I'm not flossing daily. It's annoying enough to occasionally clean my braces.

I actually get nauseous while touching the inside of my mouth with a toothbrush (or when standing for too long, so that problem might be exclusive to me).

I'd rather just kill myself than have to brush more than two times a day and floss regularly.

    If you have braces you really should have a water flosser. I'm kind of surprised your ortho didn't recommend one, as mine made it a requirement

    Well, they just recommended two different toothbrushes and a specialized toothpick. It takes ~40 mins to clean it all with a toothpick. So I just do it before my appointment. But at least I brush them semi regularly.

    And yes, I do have tartar in some places, I just can't clean and would probably also have it if I regularly took care of my teeth.
