Plaque build up

I had my surgey within the past 2 months and my cleaning hasn't too good. I can feel lots of plaque on my bottom teeth at the bottom.

I don't want to go to my hygienist cause I only went just before surgey so looking for short term solutions.

My bands have been changed so I can open my mouth properly now.

I have a WaterPik and electric toothbrush.... I should use them again. Any other recommendations?

You should be using the waterpik and electronic toothbrush every day.

As for the plaque build up, buy a dental tool kit, they usually have a mirror and 2 scrappers. You can use these gently to get any plaque off and to also get it off the bottom of your brackets.
