Whether you have fixed or removable braces, they will trap food and attract plaque, putting you at a much higher risk of developing decay. You must brush your teeth for at least 2 minutes (twenty minutes after each meal) and your dentist will instruct you on how to clean between your teeth using small interdental brushes. It is also important that you have good oral hygiene before undergoing any treatment. If you have any decay, calculus or active gum disease, your dentist is likely to postpone any orthodontic treatment until they have completed any treatment required for you to become ‘dentally fit’ and give you the best long-term prognosis for your teeth.

At the bottom of the screen you can see that the play button would show you the progression of teeth movement throughout the treatment. It also predicts that the bottom arch would require 26 aligners in order to achieve the desired outcome.


Oral Hygiene Whilst you are having orthodontics, it is essential that you maintain excellent oral hygiene throughout your treatment.
