1) try both at the same time 2) if 1 doesn't work, I suggest waiting until the braces are off. that should be effective

Well I got my braces off like a few months ago. But I kinda like used my tongue to make a seal around it and suck it out. The only problem is that one time the food went like directly down my throat and I was choking >_>

you get used to it after a little while. your tongue may be bruised/irritated/wtv and have sores but once they go away you wont have any problems and mainly, you use your tongue to get rid of food particles

I just take them off to get the food out. You can just use epoxy to put on the part you took off later.

I kinda contain the area with my lip and then suck it out. Minimal use of tongue.

But if youre out then just suck it out. It varies on how hard it is depending on the shape of your teeth/braces gaps etc...

The "suck it out" technique usually works. If not, Waterpik.

Keep a floss toothpick thingy with you at all times so you can just head into the bathroom and get whatever is stuck in there out
