Orthodontic treatment is a long-term process that requires patient cooperation and consistent oral care. Proper hygiene while wearing braces is crucial not only for the outcome of the treatment itself, but also for the overall health of your teeth and gums. Inadequate hygiene can leave white spots on the teeth – known as enamel demineralization – which are permanent and remain even after the braces are removed. In more severe cases, there is a risk of tooth decay, gum inflammation, or even bone tissue damage.
During orthodontic treatment, it is recommended to visit the dental hygienist at shorter intervals, usually every 3 months. The frequency of visits is adjusted to the individual needs of the patient and the level of their home care. Regular professional cleaning helps prevent complications and ensures a healthy foundation for proper tooth alignment.
