Bismillah
As salam alaikum
The Prophet alaihi salatu wa salam used to brush with the miswak while fasting.
I have heard some scholars saying brushing the teeth with a toothbrush is okay. The debate that I hear about most is whether toothpaste is permissible.
Some say it is okay if none is swallowed. Others say no toothpaste because it is too difficult to not swallow which will break the fast.
