Braces significantly complicate self-cleaning of teeth, therefore, more attention should be paid to oral hygiene in this case. The situation is aggravated by the fact that food residues accumulate under the structural elements of the braces, which are easy to overlook, and thereby leave a fertile environment for the development of pathogenic flora.
To combat the likely development of dental diseases, dentists recommend Air Flow hardware cleaning to such patients.
