Dr. Boyd will present a review of currently available oral health products for orthodontic patients evaluated in light of FDA and ADA approvals for claims. He will use this information and also review the current dental literature to determine which toothpastes, toothbrushes, rinses and other plaque removal aids have been shown to be the most efficient and effective for orthodontic patients with fixed appliances.

Learning Outcomes

Implement an effective preventative program for orthodontic practices, emphasizing the key role of staff to accomplish this.
