One option for flossing is to use your hair. If you can pull out a piece of your hair (this shouldn't be too hard) you can use it to floss between your teeth. This works best with thicker longer hair.

For brushing your teeth you can use a paintbrush (most types should work). You can just apply toothpaste and use it as a regular toothbrush.

###Detail Brush### Pros: If it has hard bristles, detail brushes can be used to clean certain parts of your teeth and they can also be used as floss if you have teeth gaps that are a bit wider.

Cons: Harder to get toothpaste on, can take longer if you are cleaning all of your teeth

###Flat/Angular Flat### Pros: Easy to put toothpaste on, hard bristle ones can clean well, angular flats can easily reach and clean molars.

Cons: Soft bristle ones are very flimsy and do not clean well.

###Fan Brush### Do not use these, too flimsy and they do not clean well.

###Bright Brushes### Pros: IMO the best kind to use, clean well. In painting they are meant for short strokes, and that also works while brushing your teeth. Easy to apply toothpaste to.

Cons: Soft bristle ones do not clean as well as hard bristle one, also a bit trickier to reach the molars.
