This wish is at the heart of a prophylaxis concept. Careful dental care at home is particularly important during orthodontic treatment. Orthodontic appliances encourage deposits and accumulations of bacteria. In order to prevent conditions such as tooth decay or periodontitis effectively, we offer you a special orthodontic prophylaxis programme in addition to professional tooth cleaning and check-ups at your family dentist. Besides professional tooth cleaning, orthodontic prophylaxis also includes sealing around the brackets, brushing instruction and ultrasonic cleaning of the removable brace or aligners.
Optimal prevention at home and professional support from our dental hygiene team together form a successful path to healthy, well-cared-for teeth. Prophylaxis helps to avoid extensive treatment. A clean tooth falls ill less often. Scientific studies confirm the success of professional tooth cleaning, which is always part of a modern prophylaxis concept.
Professional tooth cleaning (PZR) is carried out at our practice by especially qualified dental staff and is an essential part of our prophylaxis concept. The steps of this cleaning are in principle similar for all age groups.
The special materials, methods and devices are selected by our staff according to the individual age group. Firmly adhering deposits are usually loosened with the help of ultrasound or carefully by hand with fine instruments.
