Professional teeth cleaning with braces

An effective dental procedure that makes it possible to maintain the health and beauty of teeth is professional hygienic cleaning. Using an ultrasonic scaler and other relevant methods, the hygienist will help you get rid of plaque that worsens the color of the enamel, tartar and deposits, and make the surface of your teeth clean and smooth.

Over time, if teeth are not thoroughly cleaned with toothpaste and brushes, mineralized plaque settles on the surface of the enamel. If you don't get rid of it, over time this plaque will lead to tooth decay. Toothpaste and a brush at home can help you deal with soft plaque, while mineralized, denser plaque can only be removed during a comprehensive cleaning in a dental clinic.

The recommended frequency of professional cleaning is twice a year. Using the Air-flow method to remove plaque, remove tartar, and polish teeth allows you to maintain the health and beauty of your smile. During your dental visit, your doctor will give you individual recommendations regarding the frequency of comprehensive cleanings. So, if you have braces, cleaning using professional methods should be performed once every three months.

Can I have my teeth with braces cleaned at Dial-Dent if I am undergoing treatment in another clinic?

We accept all patients, no matter whether they undergo orthodontic treatment at Dial-Dent, in another clinic, or with a private specialist. Teeth should be clean and healthy! It's the most important!

There are advantages for patients of the Dial-Dent orthodontic department.

You can combine a visit to the orthodontist (scheduled visit) and professional dental hygiene without wasting time visiting different clinics.
If there is severe plaque buildup, the orthodontist may remove the wire from the bracket system before cleaning. After dental hygiene, the arch is installed in place. Since cleaning does not last long, orthodontic treatment is not interrupted. Removing the wires allows you to better clean all elements of the braces system, as well as the teeth around the braces and along the gums.

In any case, the teeth will be cleaned to the highest possible quality, just the time spent on brushing will differ.

What is a retention period and why is it needed?

After the bite correction is completed using braces, the teeth are in the correct position and the defect is eliminated. However, the dental system has a “memory”, so the teeth can gradually return to their previous position. To avoid this, orthodontists recommend that patients wear special fixation products - retainers.

The retention period should begin immediately after the removal of braces, so that repeated displacement of the teeth does not have time to occur. If you refuse retention, the defect will not only return, but also get worse.

Depending on the patient’s wishes, the characteristics of the treatment performed and the condition of the body as a whole, the specialist selects the most comfortable design that will need to be worn for a long time. The retention period in most cases lasts twice as long as treatment with braces.

Is it necessary to undergo professional hygiene if I brush my teeth well at home?

Before starting orthodontic treatment, all Dial-Dent patients undergo training in cleaning teeth with braces at home and receive a gift set of teeth care products with braces. Even under these conditions, professional teeth cleaning is mandatory, since braces on the teeth create many places that are difficult to reach for cleaning on your own. Plaque mainly accumulates around braces, under archwires, along the gum line, and on the inner surface of teeth. In places where plaque remains for a long time, tartar forms, which cannot be cleaned off on your own.

If you brush your teeth well on your own, your hygienist will schedule another cleaning at a later date.

Before brushing, a plaque indicator is used so that the patient can more clearly see problem areas that need to be given more attention when brushing teeth with braces.

Ultrasound and whitening

There are alternative methods of cleaning the oral cavity, for example, using ultrasound. Unfortunately, this technology has contraindications. Dental treatment is rarely carried out under local anesthesia, since the patient does not experience any unpleasant sensations during the process.

Thanks to the smallest vibrations, plaque leaves the enamel in a matter of seconds, resulting in it remaining smooth and shiny for a long time. However, ultrasound can only be applied to gum pockets and interdental spaces; the areas around the clasps cannot be treated. This is argued by the fact that the glue on which they are fixed may soften and cease to hold the structure properly.

You cannot whiten your teeth during treatment with braces due to the aggressive effects of the whitening solution used. It can change the shade of the enamel, but it cannot penetrate under the base of the staple, so the color will be uneven. Whitening should be postponed until the braces are removed. Careful care and regular cleaning of teeth during orthodontic treatment is the key to obtaining the desired result without complications and in the shortest possible time.

What is included in cleaning teeth with braces?

Professional dental cleanings with braces include soft plaque removal using the Air Flow method, in which plaque is washed away with a mixture of cleaning powder and water. Hard plaque and tartar are removed using ultrasound or hand instruments. The enamel is strengthened with special preparations containing fluorine or active compounds of calcium and phosphorus.

Professional hygiene in our clinic. TOP 7 advantages:

1. We take the procedure as seriously as we treat dental treatment! Occupational hygiene is carried out only by certified specialists with extensive experience.

2. Always individual selection of methods, means and materials. We initially take into account all your characteristics (increased sensitivity of teeth, inflammatory diseases of periodontal tissues, the presence of installed implants, etc.) and carry out professional hygiene with high quality and accuracy.

3. To remove dental plaque, we use a special powder that does not change the structure of the enamel in any way!

4. Our doctors use plaque indicators to visually control the quality of cleaning of all tooth surfaces.

5. The cost of professional hygiene already includes fluoridation and remotherapy (enamel strengthening).

6. If you are afraid of any dental procedures, we can perform professional hygiene under sedation (with nitrous oxide).

7. We will teach you proper home hygiene. We will select care products for you based on your needs. We will teach you how to effectively use electric or manual brushes. We will select brushes and dental floss, and teach you how to clean the contact surfaces of teeth.

How much does professional teeth cleaning cost?

The cost of professional teeth cleaning ranges from 3,900 rubles (Air Flow cleaning only) to 6,900 (comprehensive hygienic cleaning with a large amount of tartar). If tartar is on several teeth, then tartar removal is calculated according to the number of teeth - 280 rubles when removing tartar with ultrasound, or 390 rubles when using hand instruments. The cost of strengthening enamel, for example, with Tuss Mousse cream is 750 rubles.

Before the start of cleaning at the Family Dental Hygienist, the hygienist conducts an examination, on the basis of which he prepares a medical estimate, which indicates what manipulations will be performed and their cost. That is, Dial-Dent patients know the final cost before the procedure begins. If the patient agrees with this estimate, the hygienist begins cleaning the teeth.

Why do you need to have your braces cleaned at the dentist?

In addition to a number of rules for ensuring the necessary oral hygiene when wearing braces, which the patient must perform independently, there is a need to clean the system itself.
It is performed by a dentist at least twice a year, and even better - every three months. The need for the procedure is due to the fact that even the most thorough self-cleaning of the bracket system is not able to ensure 100% removal of plaque and hard-to-reach places. That is why orthodontists at Doctor Nearby recommend their patients to schedule it, just like visits for system correction.

Its implementation is carried out in accordance with the traditional scheme, but requires even more care and thoroughness from the specialist. The process may involve the “AirFlow” method to remove plaque, as well as ultrasound, which allows you to eliminate hard deposits near the gums and eliminate the appearance of unsightly whitish spots on the teeth.

How often is professional hygiene necessary during orthodontic treatment?

With high-quality home care, professional hygiene is recommended for adults:

at least once every 4 months when wearing mouth guards or vestibular system
at least once every 2 months with lingual braces.

The occupational hygiene schedule for teenagers is selected individually, since not all children approach home hygiene responsibly.

“It would be happiness, but misfortune would help”... I lost a tooth, a crown on a pin, and decided to go to the clinic that I had dreamed of, but had put off visiting for a very long time. The road to treatment and recovery will be long. And I am very happy that my first appointment was with Olga Valentinovna Kogotko. Since she, no one has ever performed hygiene on me before, anywhere! In addition to the amazing result (my family and work colleagues immediately noticed brighter teeth, and this without bleaching), I want to note the affectionate, calm, non-critical attitude towards me. Having some practice of treatment in “fashionable” dentistry behind me, I realized how behind the times the technology in them is... My story in your clinic began with Olga Valentinovna and I was incredibly surprised by the high professionalism and ability to psychologically manage and calm the patient. And strangely enough, she taught me to just breathe during the no longer tiring procedure)) And I’m already waiting for the time to lie down in Olga Valentinovna’s chair again)) Bravo! And thanks to the sweet angel assistant! BELGRAVIA DENTAL STUDIO TEAM:

thank you very much for your feedback! We are very happy to work with you and are always ready to help!
