INTERDENTAL TOOTHBRUSH
For effective oral hygiene during orthodontic treatment, the Proxabrush is your go-to. This interdental toothbrush navigates around wires and braces, safeguarding your oral health. Employ it gently to prevent any harm to your braces. Regular Proxabrush use ensures clean braces, healthier gums, and a confident smile.
ANTIBACTERIAL MOUTHWASH
Discover Peroxyl, the hydrogen peroxide antiseptic mouth rinse that champions your oral well-being. It alleviates gum and cheek inflammation, curbing infections and discomfort from braces. Gargle with half a capful (two teaspoons) of Peroxyl for a minute, then spit. This rinse, usable up to four times daily, fosters internal mouth healing. Ideal for braces-related unease, canker sores, and minor gum injuries.
FLOURIDE VARNISH
Fluoride varnish is a concentrated topical fluoride used to prevent tooth decay and strengthen enamel. Applied to teeth, it adheres to the surface, releasing fluoride over time. The varnish works by slowing enamel demineralization, enhancing remineralization, and inhibiting bacterial activity in dental plaque.
CLEANING YOUR REMOVABLE APPLIANCE
Maintain your removable appliance's hygiene by daily brushing and soaking. Use a denture-cleaning tablet (like Polident or Efferdent) dissolved in room temperature tap water. Soak your appliance to curtail plaque and food buildup. A fresher, more hygienic appliance experience awaits, promoting your orthodontic success. Over-the-counter sonic retainer cleaners are also available.
