Fones Brushing Method:
Best Suited for children or adults who have difficulty with the modified Bass or the modified Stillman brushing method.
For the outer surfaces:
1) Occlude teeth (close your mouth).
2) Position brush so that the bristles face the surfaces of teeth.
3) Make several small circular strokes around the mouth (be sure to overlap).
For the inner surfaces:
1) Position brush so that the bristles face the surfaces of teeth.
2) Make several small circular strokes around the mouth (be sure to overlap).
Occlusal brushing (brushing of the chewing surfaces) and the heel-to-toe (brushing of the back surfaces of anterior teeth) will accompany this method.
