Summary

Orthodontic appliances have been shown to interfere with oral hygiene maneuvers by providing many additional sites for formation and retention of biofilm.

Its accumulation is responsible for undesirable effects such as decays and periodontal pathologies. These lower the benefit / risk ratio of orthodontic treatments. In addition, their management is not negligible at the macroeconomic level.

As such, it is more than necessary for the orthodontist to teach oral hygiene methods adapted to each of his patients fitted to limit the risk of appearance of biofilm.

Conditions

  • Orthodontic Appliance

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Control group

oral hygiene advice given orally in the chair during the bonding appointment and at each check-up appointment.

BEHAVIORAL

Group with active participation

oral hygiene advice given orally in the chair during the bonding appointment and at each check-up appointment with a demonstration of brushing methods in the sink with active participation (use of plate developer and then the Oral B electric toothbrush with special orthodontic head) during the bonding appointment as well than at each check-up appointment.

BEHAVIORAL

Group with video and quizz

oral hygiene advice given orally in the chair during the bonding appointment and at each check-up appointment with have an additional appointment between the device bonding appointment and the first check-up. This is a 15-minute session dedicated to teaching oral hygiene. This session will include watching of an educational video followed by a quiz, as well as the application of the methods taught in the sink (using plate developer and the Oral B electric toothbrush with special orthodontic head).
