Those who wear the non-removable orthodontic appli-

from rinsing, flossing, and brushing after meals, Licensed Specialist
patients also have the option of applying a prescrip-
tion gel or mouth rinse to their teeth as a means of preventing decay or
decalcification.
Some orthodontists (myself included) utilize cements or adhesives that
have a fluoride-releasing element. This may assist in preventing decay,
and although no materials can overcome poor oral hygiene, it is my
belief that anything we can do to assist in obtaining the best possible
result is beneficial.
Many orthodontists spend additional time reviewing oral hygiene
with the patient at the appliance placement appointment. A "goody"
bag with numerous helpful devices to assist in good oral hygiene is
included; such as travel toothbrushes, special floss, inter-dental mini-
brushes, etc. Our office even has two dental hygienists on staff to help
with information. Electric toothbrushes may also prove helpful.
In general, excellent orthodontic treatment can only be obtained with
cooperative and informed patients. Once orthodontic therapy begins,
the patient will be expected to continue to see the family dentist for
regular checkups, dental cleanings and routine care. Routine dental
care will help ensure best results from orthodontic therapy.
