The Implant/Ortho Tip is specifically engineered to address the unique hygiene challenges associated with orthodontic appliances and fixed prosthetics, including implants, crowns, and bridgework. These areas are highly susceptible to plaque accumulation and biofilm retention due to complex geometries and limited access with conventional oral hygiene methods.
The tapered tip design delivers a controlled, low-pressure pulsating stream that enables targeted irrigation around brackets, wires, implant abutments, and prosthetic margins. This facilitates effective disruption and removal of plaque biofilm, food debris, and bacteria from interproximal and subgingival regions without compromising delicate peri-implant tissues or orthodontic components.
By improving access to otherwise difficult-to-clean areas, the Implant/Ortho Tip supports the prevention of peri-implant mucositis, peri-implantitis, and gingival inflammation associated with orthodontic treatment. It serves as an effective adjunct to toothbrushing and flossing, particularly in patients with reduced dexterity or compliance challenges.
Clinical Applications:
- Irrigation around orthodontic brackets, wires, and bands
- Maintenance of peri-implant tissue health
- Cleaning around crowns, bridges, and fixed prostheses
- Interproximal and marginal gingival biofilm disruption in complex cases
Key Clinical Benefits:
- Enhances biofilm removal in areas inaccessible to traditional oral hygiene methods
- Supports reduction of peri-implant inflammation and gingival bleeding
- Improves patient compliance through ease of use compared to string floss
- Delivers targeted irrigation with minimal risk of tissue trauma
Each package contains four color-coded tips to support hygienic multi-user use within the same Hydro FlossĀ® system.
