No results posted yet for this study

Summary

There is no long term evidence to show that the use of Waterpik® is effective for orthodontic patients with fixed braces. A Cochrane Systematic Review confirms this. The aims of this study is to find out if the use of Waterpik® in addition to the manual toothbrush is better to maintain clean teeth in patients with fixed braces. The null hypothesis is that there is no difference between patients using either Waterpik® in addition to the manual toothbrush (treatment group) when compared with patients using just the manual toothbrush (control group).
