Orthodontic toothbrushes for braces: President Orthodontic, Curaprox Ortho

Many people have problems with wrong bite. This can lead to all sorts of complications and dental diseases. In such cases, you need to contact your dentistorthodontist. As a rule, in such situations, doctors prescribe to patients bracesthat have to be worn constantly.

It should be understood that the installation of braces threatens the appearance of such a phenomenon as caries, especially if the person does not pay due attention to the special dental care. Food residues can collect in structural parts, oxidizing due to pathogenic microflora in the mouth and at the same time destroying tooth enamel. Therefore, it is important to use orthodontic toothbrushes.

Purpose and features of orthodontic brushes

There are special tools for cleaning braces - these are orthodontic brushes, the purpose of which is to take care of the oral cavity during the correction. Braces make the routine dental cleaning procedure more difficult. It is necessary to monitor the cleanliness of the mouth during corrective therapy more closely, and for this purpose, special devices for oral hygiene should be used.

Waste products of pathogenic microorganisms act destructively on the enamel, leading to lesions of the gums, periodontitis, gingivitis. To prevent this while wearing and after removing the structures, it is necessary to use special brushes.

To prevent injury to the bristles, most models are produced with rounded, polished tips. Also, orthodontic brushes are characterized by a small head size, which makes it possible to clean teeth located in the distant parts of the oral cavity. Many manufacturers supply handles with rubber inserts so that the products do not slip in the hands.

If the toothbrushing tool has very stiff bristles, this is a disadvantage, because it can lead to damage enamels. It is possible to understand whether the enamel is damaged when a person has an acute reaction to cold and hot dishes. Hard bristles can also negatively affect the gums.
