Yes it can...especially when your teeth are slightly loose from braces.
I wouldn't take the risk though.

Wow...all the routines look intense.

Morning: brush teeth with vline soft bristle tooth brush
Night: interdental tapered brush with toothpaste, floss, brush teeth with vline soft bristle tooth brush and colgate phos flur mouthwash

I am 10 months into braces. I am using interdental brush, floss, colgate phos flur mouthwash and soft bristle ortho toothbrush.

Just got it for my bottom teeth today!
