- Abstract -
If we look around, we
will see many teenagers and young adults wearing fix
appliances. So, braces aren't really as bad as we
may think. Today, braces come in a variety of styles
and materials, making „life with braces” much
easier, more comfortable, and even more stylish than
in the past. However, many people feel more
comfortable and self-confident with properly
aligned, attractive teeth, and orthodontic care can
help improve appearance and build self-confidence.
But one of the most difficult problems in
orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances is the
control of enamel demineralization around the
brackets and the bands. These elements, together
with other adjuvant elements used in orthodontic
treatment (such as: arches, springs, elastics, power
chains, etc.), make the patient’s dental hygiene
more difficult and the accumulation of plaque
easier. That’s why, a significant increases in oral
bacteria appears during orthodontic treatment,
especially to those with fix appliances. White
spots, caries, gingivitis (and sometimes
periodontitis) are often a side effect of
orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances that is
caused by inadequate removal of dental plaque around
the orthodontic appliances.
Key words: Prevention, oral hygiene,
demineralization, white spots, dental plaque
