After a milkshake, I would, but you don't have to brush after every drink you have; just after every meal or every thing you eat..

Don't brush immediately after eating and drinking, wait half an hour to an hour as the sugar can act a bit like a paint stripper and strip the enamel off your teeth.. Give your saliva time to neutralise your mouth..Health Question & Answer
depends on how long you've been flossing.. + braces im sure that sucks.. just keep flossing and it will get better, like way better.. also use waxed floss, that helps a lot..Health Question & Answer
