Keeping your teeth clean during orthodontic treatment can be challenging brackets, wires, and aligners create hard-to-reach areas where plaque and stains easily build up.
At Rinse Dental, our Ortho Cleaning appointments are designed specifically for patients wearing braces, Invisalign®, clear aligners, or fixed retainers. Using gentle Airflow® technology, we remove plaque, biofilm, and staining without damaging your orthodontic appliances.
The result? Fresher breath, healthier gums, and a cleaner smile making your orthodontic journey smoother and more comfortable.
Braces and aligners create extra surfaces that can trap food, bacteria, and plaque. Without professional cleaning, this can lead to:
Gum inflammation and bleeding
White spots or enamel marks
Persistent bad breath
Staining around brackets
Increased risk of decay
Tender gums during orthodontic treatment
Regular Ortho Cleaning helps protect both your teeth and your orthodontic results.
Our approach is gentle, precise, and designed to keep your appliances safe:
Assessment – We examine your teeth and gums to identify areas needing attention.
Airflow® Cleaning – Warm water, fine powder, and air gently remove plaque and stains around brackets, wires, attachments, and retainers.
Ultrasonic Cleaning (if needed) – Any stubborn buildup is removed carefully without disrupting orthodontic components.
Home-Care Guidance – Tailored advice on brushing, flossing, and cleaning your aligner trays or retainers.
