Copied this off a web site but I'm in dental school and we teach the Modified Bass Method.

Modified Bass Method


(only currently recommended technique)how to brush





This is widely excepted as the most effective measure for the removal of plaque around the gumline, this area being the most significant in the control of early and advanced gum disease.





Direct the brush towards the roots of the teeth at a 45潞 angle. Press lightly but not enough to bend the bristles and then gently, with short movements, brush back and forth in a vibratory type action.





This may seem a little more difficult behind (tongue/palate) the front teeth. If you use a pencil grip, it is easy to brush side-to-side in these areas.
i have braces, so i brush mine in circular motions, and up and down.
I only brush mine cicular while laying in a iron lung.
all, and everyway possible! :) but for me, my gums bleed easily so i do left to right on the top row. hope i helped :D
i do it in all those directions !
