I had Class 3 Malocclusion correction surgery in my early 20's. Then in 2012 I had a fall and busted my grill. Had to get braces to fix that, then had a few crowns to finish it all.

Let's recap... ( see what I did there? )
Braces in my waaay too early teens.
Wore similar devices for the surgery, then braces again to fix the fall.

So, I've worn braces 3x in my life.

And while married, my ex became a Dental Hygienist.

We can argue over which method is better till the cows come home.
Bottom line, just do both a twice daily...minimum.

Sure, there's a difference, but if someone is told to switch their preferred method, they may stop altogether.

During my procedure to install 6 crowns due to the fall, my long time Dentist couldn't stop telling me how awesome my gums are.

Use the picks, floss your chicklets, and brush often. You might find your spouse likes kissing you a lot more.
