One of the great drawbacks of orthodontic treatment is that it increases the risk of tooth decay and periodontal disease (gingivitis and periodontitis).
That is why it is important to maintain proper oral hygiene and attend check-ups with the orthodontist, thus avoiding dental white spots, cavities, bad breath and bleeding gums.
The presence of gingivitis or periodontitis influences the time and the result of the orthodontic treatment, for this reason we recommend using all the necessary oral hygiene items.
