Mmm, they do brush their teeth, but I've noticed when I floss their teeth randomly during the day (whenever I get itchy flossing fingers, which is about once every day or two days) that Ana's bottom teeth (which are quite crooked at the moment) have a LOT of gunk in between them. I've told her, and I told my sister when I realized the other day, that she has to be Very Careful (and maybe have more grown-up assistance) with those bottom teeth because they're hard to brush by nature of being crooked.

I have that same problem, and that's what the dentist told me. My top teeth are more-or-less straight now, but the bottom ones were always more crooked and after my father died we never kept up with the braces. Things really fell apart for a while, I don't blame my mother. But those teeth are still really crooked and taking care of them is hard.
