Se brosser les dents
Se brosser les dents is the standard phrase. French never says "mes dents" here; the reflexive pronoun already shows whose teeth they are. The same pattern gives se laver les mains.
Examples in context
Il se brosse les dents chaque matin.
He brushes his teeth every morning.
Brosse-toi les dents avant de partir.
Brush your teeth before leaving.
