Have you had braces installed? If so, oral hygiene now requires special attention. During orthodontic treatment, the risk of plaque formation and cavity development significantly increases, as brackets, archwires, and elastics create numerous hard-to-reach areas.

Without regular professional hygiene, it is practically impossible to keep your teeth healthy while wearing braces. To ensure that your treatment results in a smile that is not only straight but also truly healthy, it is essential to undergo professional cleaning every 3 months (or according to an individual schedule created by your doctor).

At Doctor Dent in Astana, we perform professional tooth cleaning for braces with maximum care and safety, following the modern Swiss GBT protocol. Additionally, our specialists will select home care products tailored specifically to you.

In our clinic, professional oral hygiene is performed according to the Swiss GBT protocol—one of the most advanced and evidence-based methods for preventing cavities and gum disease.

We use modern equipment, including the 3D Dental system for diagnosing the condition of the teeth and gums, as well as the latest materials that are effective and completely safe for the enamel.

Important: It is not necessary to remove archwires, brackets, or elastics before the procedure. The GBT protocol allows for the 100% removal of biofilm and plaque around the braces without disturbing the orthodontic structure. This saves you time and makes the procedure as comfortable as possible.

At Doctor Dent, we explain each stage of the procedure in detail and demonstrate the process if necessary, so that the patient feels confident and at ease.

Professional dental hygiene is the primary preventive service aimed at protecting against cavities and inflammatory periodontal diseases.

While wearing braces, home care becomes significantly more difficult. Even with the use of special brushes and irrigators, it is hard to completely clean brackets, archwires, chains, and interdental spaces.

Regular professional tooth cleaning for braces in Astana helps maintain the health of the enamel and gum tissues throughout the entire duration of orthodontic treatment.

• remove soft plaque and hard tartar from the enamel and elements of the system;
• remove pigmented stains from food dyes, coffee, tea, or smoking;
• restore the natural color and smoothness of the tooth surface;
• strengthen the enamel through fluoridation and remineralization;
• reduce the risk of developing cavities and inflammatory processes in the periodontal tissues;
• ensure a long-lasting sensation of freshness and cleanliness.

We take professional dental hygiene as seriously as we take medical treatment. The procedure is performed by certified specialists with extensive experience in the field of orthodontics.

1. Individual Approach. We consider tooth sensitivity, gum condition, the presence of implants, and other characteristics.
2. Safe Technologies. A special powder is used to remove plaque, which does not alter the structure of the enamel.
3. Quality Control. Doctors use plaque indicators for visual control to ensure all surfaces are cleaned.
4. Comprehensive Approach. The cost of professional hygiene includes fluoridation and remineralization therapy (strengthening the enamel).
5. Modern Equipment. We use advanced technologies for the gentlest cleaning possible.
6. Patient Comfort. For those with significant anxiety, the procedure can be performed under sedation (using nitrous oxide).
7. Home Hygiene Training. We will select care products and teach you how to properly use brushes, interdental brushes, floss, and irrigators.

1. Plaque Indication.
A special agent is applied to the teeth to stain the biofilm. This allows the areas of plaque accumulation to be seen.

2. Home Hygiene Training.
The hygienist demonstrates how to properly clean the brackets and hard-to-reach areas.

3. Removal of Pigmented Plaque (Air Flow).
The device delivers a mixture of water and cleaning powder under pressure. We use innovative erythritol powder, which gently removes plaque without damaging the enamel.

4. Tartar Removal.
Using ultrasonic scalers, hard deposits are carefully removed from all surfaces of the teeth and elements of the brace system.

5. Fluoridation and Remineralization Therapy.
The final stage is strengthening the enamel. This is especially important during long-term brace wear, as reduced mineralization can lead to the development of cavities.

After the procedure, Doctor Dent specialists create an individual professional hygiene schedule for the entire period of orthodontic treatment.

With high-quality home care, adult patients are recommended to undergo professional tooth cleaning:

• at least once every 3–4 months when wearing aligners or vestibular braces;
• at least once every 2 months for lingual braces.

For teenagers, the schedule is selected individually, as not all children can provide the necessary level of home hygiene.

At Doctor Dent in Astana, we conduct educational and monitored tooth cleanings for patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. The procedure helps develop correct tooth care skills at home.

How the educational cleaning works:

• a plaque-staining agent is applied;
• the patient sees the problem areas;
• under the hygienist’s supervision, the patient cleans their teeth independently;
• the doctor evaluates the result and points out areas where plaque remains;
• training is provided on cleaning techniques using manual and electric brushes, single-tufted brushes, interdental brushes, floss, and irrigators.

This approach significantly reduces the risk of cavities while wearing braces and keeps the enamel healthy until the end of orthodontic treatment.

If you wear braces and want to keep your teeth healthy, book an appointment for professional oral hygiene at Doctor Dent (Astana). Regular professional hygiene is an essential part of orthodontic treatment and the key to a beautiful, straight, and healthy smile.
