Using a regular toothbrush with braces is sufficient to keep your teeth nice and clean. Personally, I really like my Sonicare toothbrush. However, most electric toothbrushes, such as the Braun Oral-B do a a good job as well. I think the electric toothbrushes make cleaning easier and leave your braces and teeth cleaner than manual toothbrushes. If you haven't used an electric toothbrush before this, you may want to consider getting one. You will need to buy new brush heads more often than normal, but it's worth it.
If you use a manual braces toothbrush, search for one that is "orthodontic cut" otherwise known as "v-cut." The bristles are tapered inward to form a V. The indentation in the middle of the bristles helps clean your brackets and teeth more effectively than a regular toothbrush.
If you can't find an orthodontic toothbrush in your local store, just ask your orthodontist.
