Hygiene for patients with braces

Straight teeth are the long-awaited result of orthodontic treatment. To keep your smile not only beautiful but also healthy, it's especially important to maintain perfect cleanliness while wearing braces. Brackets and wires trap food particles, and without proper care, cavities, tartar, or bad breath appear easily.

“Orthodontic treatment is a journey of several years. To go through it easily and without complications, it's important to keep the mouth clean. Professional hygiene helps preserve the health of teeth and gums and achieve a beautiful result without possible complications.”

What's special about hygiene for patients with braces?

Hygiene for patients with braces is comprehensive care that includes proper home brushing and regular visits to the hygienist.

We select special brushes, interdental brushes, and floss and teach you to use them so that cleaning is effective and gentle. And at the appointment, the doctor performs professional cleaning, removing plaque and tartar in the hardest-to-reach spots around the brackets and wires.

Diana Azatovna Mirzoyan, periodontist, dental hygienist
“When wearing braces, the number of areas where plaque accumulates increases significantly. Braces are like an extra ‘shelf’ for plaque. Without thorough hygiene this can lead to gum inflammation, enamel demineralisation (white spots), and the development of cavities around the bracket system.”

Stages of the procedure:
Initial diagnosis and selection of care products.
Professional cleaning in the area of brackets, wires, and interdental spaces.
Remineralising therapy to strengthen the enamel.
Planning regular visits (usually every 3–4 months).
Safety and care at every stage
We understand that care with braces can be challenging, so we do everything to make the patient feel supported:
1
we use special gentle instruments to clean around brackets and wires
2
we prevent cavities and strengthen the enamel with remineralising agents
3
we explain every step simply and provide clear guides
4
we draw up an individual hygiene schedule so that treatment goes calmly and predictably.
