Can it be possible for you to use mouthwash with braces?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: There is no reason why you wouldn't be able to use a mouthwash if you wear braces. However, proper brushing and flossing (perhaps a waterpik) and a diet that does not promote tooth decay would be more beneficial.
