Braces and Aligners Can Be Expensive.
​Protect Your Investment.

​Braces & aligners are great for creating a straight, beautiful smile, but without proper care can cause serious issues. Instead of getting a beautiful smile, you could end up with oral problems that involves increased cost and disappointment .
That's why we created OrthoProtect, a rinse engineered specifically for braces & aligners that:
  • Is clinically proven to reduce plaque 112.5x better than brushing alone
  • Decreases the risk for white spots
  • Reduces the plaque that causes decay and gum disease
  • ​Eliminates bad breath
  • Whitens teeth while in braces
Trusted by moms, dads, teens and orthodontists

This is why you're getting braces.

Straight, beautiful teeth. A gorgeous smile that enhances your kid's confidence. This is why we spend the money and put kids through years of ortho, right? But too many parents make the investment without knowing the things that can go wrong. 
And this is what can happen if you don't prevent plaque. 
The problems you see below are all rooted from one thing- plaque. It can cause ​yellow teeth, decay, white spots, gingivitis (puffy red gums) and even periodontal disease (advanced gingivitis, lifelong). 

Plaque is your enemy. 

Let's face it: most kids (and adults too) aren't the most diligent with brushing and flossing. Add brackets and wires to that, and you've got a recipe for disaster. If you have only one mission for the next 1.5+ years, it's this: keep 👏 plaque 👏away. It doesn't matter if your kid is in braces or clear aligners, plaque is always there threatening to turn their journey to straight teeth into a swollen, red, plaque ridden nightmare. 
When the braces finally come off after years of ortho, if your kid's teeth looked like this photo, would you be happy? 

The crazy thing is, the teeth are straight. Ortho did it's job. But the swollen gums and white spots are so distracting, we don't notice the straight teeth first.

Unfortunately, this is just one example of what can happen if plaque is not controlled during ortho. In fact, there have been cases that have ended in veneers because the teeth were too far gone. 
That's Why We Created OrthoProtect. 
Clinically Proven to Decrease Plaque 112.5x Better.
For too long, ortho patients have not had the tools available that they need to be successful. Brushing and flossing aren't enough, and regular rinses don't quite cut it for what an ortho patient needs. OrthoProtect was created by dental professionals, and engineered specifically for braces & aligners.  It is formulated with ingredients clinically proven to decrease plaque and prevent plaque from forming. It is also fortified with additional ingredients key to keep teeth and gums healthy while in ortho treatment.
Formulated With Key Ingredients:
- Chlorine Dioxide, Calcium Lactate, Xylitol, Poloxamer 407

7 Reasons Why Parents Are Protecting Their Kids' Ortho with OrthoProtect

#1- It's Clinically Proven to Decrease Plaque 112.5x Better Than Brushing Alone. 💪

Plaque is the enemy. It doesn't matter if your kid is in braces or clear aligners, plaque is always there threatening to turn their experience into a swollen, red, plaque ridden disaster. 

Luckily, OrthoProtect is clinically proven to decrease plaque 112.5x better than just brushing alone. 
Here's what can happen if you don't remove plaque:

#2- It Prevents White Spots. 💪

White spots/ scarring happen when plaque lays too long on the tooth around the brackets when wearing braces. After time, the plaque eats the calcium around it, eating away at enamel. Not only is decalcification bad from an oral health perspective, it creates an uneven, blotchy appearance when braces are removed. 
​
OrthoProtect is formulated with calcium lactate, which helps strengthen tooth enamel to keep white spots away.

Here's what teeth can look like when braces come off ​if you don't protect against white spots:

#3- It Gets Rid of Bad Breath and Keeps the Mouth Healthy. 💪

Did you know? Bad breath is caused by not one but TWO sources of odor: Bacteria, and bacterial waste (or bacteria poop 💩 Imagine how bad that smells.) Most rinses get rid of bacteria, but they don't do anything don't do anything about the...well, poop.
OrthoProtect kills the all germs that cause bad breath, keeping the mouth fresh and healthy with daily use.

#4- It Keeps Teeth & Gums Much Healthier in Clear Aligners. 💪

If your kid is getting clear aligners like Invisalign, they are going to be wearing the trays pretty much anytime they are awake. Every day. And right after meals. Think about that.  It's like an incubator which breeds bacteria and speeds up plaque formation. This is why we sometimes see people in aligners with filmy, yellow teeth and swollen gums.
​
Rinsing with OrthoProtect will break up plaque and prevent plaque plaque formation, leaving an ultra clean tooth surface before putting aligners back in. 

Here's what can happen if dirty teeth sit in aligners:
Aligners can be an incubator for bacteria

#5- It Creates a "Protective Shield" (kind of like Rain-X) 💪

You know how Rain-X makes water just bead off your car windshield? 
 
OrthoProtect does that for your teeth! Our rinse has the unique capability of creating a very slippery surface that makes it difficult for plaque to stick to. So not only are you rinsing away existing plaque- you're preventing future plaque from forming.

#6- It Whitens! ✨​

Want a whiter smile while in braces? OrthoProtect has great whitening capabilities for a few reasons:

#1- It strips away plaque, which causes the 'yellow teeth' look

#2- It helps prevent plaque from reforming, which means stains (think soda, coffee, certain foods) don't have anything to stick to! 

#3- Our rinse has it's own whitening properties, helping to gently lighten and brighten the teeth with continued use! 

#7- It's Easy to Use! 💪

OrthoProtect is as easy as swishing and spitting for 30 seconds. Which is ideal for busy kids with school, sports, extracurriculars and homework. 

​Rinsing just twice a day is 112.5x more effective at removing plaque than brushing alone.

AS SEEN IN:

"Red, Swollen Gums Are Gone"
"We had to take this patient's braces off early because of such poor hygiene. The patient's gums were very red, swollen, and painful. We gave the patient OrthoProtect with the instructions to rinse twice a day. Six weeks later, the patient returned with all the symptoms gone. We see many patients just like this case and never had anything to help. Now we do. All ortho patients get OraCare!"

Can OrthoProtect be used in a water flosser?
Yes! Simply dilute equal parts mixed OrthoProtect solution with cold water before adding to the water flosser.
