Floss Threaders

Before Orthodontic Floss Picks, this floss threader was the method used to floss under the wire with braces, and it’s still prefered by some patients. It’s also a great tool to floss under your bonded retainer.

Super Floss

This floss is great for braces or bonded retainers. It has a stiff end, then a yarn like portion, and then the regular floss, making this easy to thread between teeth or under wire. The yarn portion is very helpful to clear out plaque.

Waterpik

A Waterpik flosser is not a replacement for flossing, but it certainly is a great tool to “powerwash” your mouth or to help parents clean under their kiddos’ expanders. This is a portable version so you can use it in the shower and avoid getting water all over your bathroom mirror. Dr. Peterson uses one of these regularly. You can fill this with cool or warm water to help maintain your oral hygiene.

This is a water flosser that can be hooked directly to the shower head and comes with 2 different heads. It’s easy to install-trust us, Dr. Peterson was able to do it herself!

Philips Electric Toothbrush

An electric toothbrush can be more effective for manual as the rotary can be more effective in plaque removal and the timer encourages patients to brush for enough time and in all quadrants of the mouth. This is the one Dr. Peterson uses. The oral B version works great too!

Hum Colgate Electric Toothbrush with App Game

This is a kid’s electric toothbrush that connects to a game to help kids clean the sugar bugs and earn points. It gamifies toothbrushing. Dr. Peterson’s kids LOVE this and want to brush their teeth multiple times a day in order to be able to play this game.

Interdental Brushes

This is a small bristle brush used to clean around the braces. This is a great tool to keep in your purse and backpack as well as in your bathroom to use many times throughout the day, especially after you at to get food that is stuck out of the braces.

The orthodontic start kit at Synergi Orthodontic Specialists comes with one of these as a sample but we recommend you purchase a bulk pack to have many. We recommending purchasing moderate or wide for between braces. The very tight size can sometimes be used below bonded retainers, but it is generally not big enough to clean around braces.

We are happy to help if you bring this in to your appointment!

Orthodots (Wax Alternative)

This is a great alternative to wax, especially if you have trouble getting the traditional wax to stay on. It acts as a cushion to the braces if you get a pokey wire, or in the beginning of treatment to help you be more comfortable until your lips and cheeks get used to the braces.

Colgate Peroxyl Rinse

Peroxyl is a minty oxygenating alcohol-free rinse that speeds gingival (gum) healing after gum irritations (from braces) or canker sores and keeps bacteria levels in check. Some people complain the mint is strong but the product can be diluted and still provide healing gum relief. Just swish for as long as you can and spit!

*Note this product does have blue dye in it. Dr. Peterson prefers dye-free product options, however, in terms of effectiveness of healing mouth sores, this product is still the best we have found, thus we recommend using it as needed to help a heal a mouth sore, but not using it on a daily basis when mouth sores are not present.

These cleaners have a UV antibacterial light, mechanical cleaning with the shaking from the ultrasonic, and placing a cleaning tablet in gives chemical cleaning-an effective trifecta for keeping your retainers in great shape. We highly recommend! Bonus-you can use it to clean your jewelry as well (Not at the same time as your retainer)!

Chewies

These are silicone bite sticks that are helpful for seating a clear aligner on a stubborn tooth to get the full movement expressed. If your clear aligners are not fully fitting on your teeth, we recommend biting and holding on these chewies for 10 seconds each tooth for multiple times throughout the day to get your aligner to fit.
