Hygiene during orthodontic treatment
The teenager is undergoing orthodontic treatment with a bracket system.
The parents noticed plaque around the brackets and bleeding gums while brushing.
Diagnosis and treatment
The examination revealed:
- accumulation of soft plaque around the brackets and arch wire
- pigmentation in the gumline zone
- signs of early gingivitis (redness, swelling, bleeding gums)
The presence of braces makes home hygiene more difficult, so the risk of developing caries and gum inflammation in teenagers is significantly higher.
Result
- Plaque completely removed
- Reduced gum inflammation
- Clean surfaces around the brackets
- Prevention of "white spots" after the braces are removed
Orthodontic hygiene is a mandatory stage during treatment with braces. Regularity (every 3–4 months) helps keep teeth not only straight, but also healthy.
