The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: When anyone of you stands at night to offer Salah, he should clean his teeth with a Miswak because when he recites the Quran an angel places his mouth on his and anything coming out of his mouth enters the mouth of that angel.
