Maintaining excellent dental hygiene is crucial for everyone, but it’s especially important for individuals undergoing orthodontic treatment. At The Orthodontic Centre in Reading, we offer comprehensive dental hygiene services designed to support your oral health throughout your orthodontic journey. 

Why Dental Hygiene Matters During Orthodontic Treatment 

Orthodontic appliances like braces and aligners can create additional nooks and crannies in your mouth, making it easier for plaque and food particles to accumulate. Without diligent oral care, this can lead to gum disease, tooth decay, and prolonged treatment times. Regular hygiene appointments help prevent these issues by thoroughly cleaning areas that are difficult to reach with routine brushing and flossing. 

What to Expect During a Hygiene Appointment 

Our hygiene appointments are tailored to address the unique needs of orthodontic patients. Here’s what you can expect: 

• Assessment of Oral Health: We’ll discuss your at-home oral care routine and identify any areas of concern. 

• Professional Cleaning: A thorough scale and polish will remove plaque and tartar buildup, leaving your teeth feeling clean and smooth. 

• Personalised Advice: Our hygienists will provide guidance on effective brushing and interdental cleaning techniques to help you maintain optimal oral health between visits. 

Regular hygiene appointments are essential for preventing gum disease and ensuring the success of your orthodontic treatment.
