Here's the part we REALLY care about (and can actually UNDERSTAND...LOL):
- Adding Listerine to the daily oral hygiene regimen reduces plaque and gingivitis development in orthodontic patients over a 6-month period.
- As fixed orthodontic appliances may cause enamel decalcification because of plaque accumulation around the bracket base, it is recommended that orthodontists instruct their patients to rinse twice a day with 20 mL of Listerine in addition to brushing and flossing.
I say AWESOME!!! I've been adding listerine to my fluoride rinse since getting my brackets put on, since listerine is ALL I used prior to braces. Hope this means there will be NO white spots!!
