How many times a day should I brush my teeth?

September 26th, 2012
Q.

I know you are supposed to clean your teeth and aligner after each time you eat. But, instead of three meals a day I will usually have five smaller ones. Because of this I have to brush my teeth quite a lot. I have now read that brushing teeth too often can wear away enamel. Should I limit how often I do it? Also, because of the aligners I’ve been brushing my teeth too often and I feel as if my gums are receding they look like they are anyway, how many times a day should I brush my teeth? I feel the aligners make my mouth feel unclean.
