Orthodontic treatment is becoming increasingly popular, especially for adults. Braces are now much smaller, and newer technologies allow much faster and more comfortable treatment than their bulky ancestors. A major influencing factor in the gaining of popularity is the celebrity uptake. We can see many movie stars, sports and TV presenters embracing their new straight smiles! In this blog I will explain why dental hygiene is so important during orthodontic treatment.
Maintaining good oral hygiene is important for everyone. Even so, it’s even more critical when you’re having orthodontic treatment. When you don’t maintain an effective oral hygiene routine, you can be more susceptible to gum disease, tooth decay, discoloration and staining.
Braces themselves don’t cause these issues. However, they create spaces that are difficult to clean and it may increase the chances of such things developing.
We offer specific orthodontic hygiene services at Visage Dental Spa for both children and adults. All our orthodontic hygiene services include bacteria and stain removal. Also, we offer advice of brace care and diet to help achieve optimum results. To read a previous blog on nutrients for healthy teeth, click here.
We offer two kinds of orthodontic hygiene services. Ortho Junior is perfect for children to have all the way through orthodontic treatment. The service costs £29.50 for children up to age 17. Ortho Blast is ideal for adults to have all the way through orthodontic treatment. Also, it’s great for children to have once their braces are removed. It includes an air polish which removes staining and costs £59.50 for both children and adults.
