Dental Health Care

Among the many disadvantages associated with orthodontic bands, that impede hygiene is not the least important. It is a fact that rings and son orthodontic attachments are true nests plaque and this even if the hygiene is good.

Produce an effective brushing is an achievement when you wear an orthodontic appliance such as this one (photo-cons).

Orthodontic bands and bacterial.

The plaque serves as food for bacteria that colonize the buckle space and the tooth surfaces. The sugar residues adhering to fixed orthodontic equipment in your mouth, feed the bacteria proliferate and fungi. During orthodontic treatment, the rings induce bacterial overgrowth that is the logical conclusion of Japanese researchers after a study (1) conducted on 58 patients. Researchers at Kagoshima University have studied the presence of opportunistic bacteria and fungi by comparing the oral flora of the holders of orthodontic bands with people that do not bear.

Broth.

The conclusion is clear: there are more opportunistic bacteria and yeasts or fungi in persons in orthodontic treatment compared with those who are not. In addition, the study shows that the amount of germs (bacteria and fungi) present in the mouth increases during orthodontic treatment. Plus it is, the more the quantity of seeds is important. So much so that researchers in their findings warn against the use of rings in immune compromised patients. The oral bacteria proliferate more than the metal rings, released by corrosion in contact with saliva, provides food for bacteria which enjoy special iron alloys that contain these.

Orthodontics and tooth decay.

This Japanese study overlaps with the results of an earlier study which showed that holders of fixed appliance orthodontic develop more caries in the first month of treatment and show greater susceptibility to caries (Hua et al, 2001) ( 3). The bacteria proliferate more in some cases the adhesives used to fix the ring on the enamel can also be used to support the growth of bacteria.

Orthodontics and heaving.

The bacterial growth explain the rapid onset of gingivitis bleeding in carriers of orthodontic bands, even with regular brushing. The proliferation of bacteria induced by orthodontic bands partly explains why the cause orthodontic problems heaving, while paradoxically periodontists or prevention often justifies the initiation of treatment. “The problem prevention heaving is not guaranteed by orthodontic treatment and we do not recommend such treatment, except for a significant malocclusion” concluded another study (2) published in August 2008. We understand the relevance of this finding in light of the Japanese study.

Orthodontics: happen rings.

The rings are orthodontic devices inherently unhygienic, especially since they lend themselves to an unsavory practice: recycling rings. The orthodontist has any interest in favor removable appliances that do not have these drawbacks.
