At OrtoVena, we recommend some orthodontic accessories to our patients (toothbrush, dental floss, toothpaste), which in the course of orthodontic treatment allow for proper maintenance of the cleanliness of braces and promote good oral hygiene. Our trained orthodontic hygienists carefully explain what type of orthodontic products should be used and how to insure that an orthodontic appliance is not damaged, and at the same time retain its purity. This applies particularly to situations in which a person wears braces and must maintain hygiene after daily meals and beverages, including those containing a large amount of sugars.
Selected orthodontic accessories, including: toothbrushes, dental floss, toothpaste recommended in OrtoVena:
