Orthodontic Treatment and Care

Oral hygiene routine

When your patients are undergoing orthodontic treatment, it’s more important than ever to keep their teeth clean and healthy. A healthy oral care routine can not only help prevent plaque buildup and gum inflammation, but also help ease the transition to orthodonture.

Clinically proven for braces

Because oral hygiene is essential to successful orthodontic treatment, Philips has developed a line of products specifically designed for those patients under your care. Clinical studies have revealed that, for patients undergoing orthodontic treatment, brushing with a power toothbrush can significantly reduce levels of plaque. Introducing products like these to your patients can help create healthy brushing habits for the duration of their treatment.

How Philips Sonicare can help

Often, orthodontic patients need to re-learn how best to brush their teeth while undergoing treatment. Philips Sonicare toothbrushes are designed to gently brush and glide over the surface of orthodontic work, using longer bristles and smaller brush heads to clean hard-to-reach areas more precisely. Combined with Philips Sonicare AirFloss Pro, which can reach interdental spaces more effectively, this is one of the most effective oral health care regimens you can recommend for orthodontics.
