Regular oral hygiene and
prophylaxis are important!
Oral hygiene during the orthodontic process is something very important and dear to us. Here are our tips for oral hygiene while wearing removable or fixed orthodontic appliances.
During the orthodontic treatment, you should continue to see your primary dentist for general dental care (including caries diagnostics!). However, we will monitor your oral health when you visit our practice as well. If treatment is required, your parents will be informed and you will be referred to your dentist if necessary.
Tips for Removable Appliances
- Clean the appliance with a toothbrush and toothpaste daily
- Twice a week, soak it in a solution with special cleansing tablets
Prophylaxis
The prophylaxis is not carried out in our practice,
but rather with your primary dentist.
- Coordinating treatment with your dentist
- In some cases, we can remove bands/brackets
on request for cleanings or fillings
Oral Hygiene Tips for Fixed Braces
- Brush your teeth at least 3 times a day, taking extra care in the morning and at night
- Angle the toothbrush around the brackets
- Use floss and interdental brushes
