Orthodontic appliances with brackets make oral hygiene more difficult, which leads to a significantly increased risk of caries and gingivitis if mechanical plaque control is inadequate over a longer period of time. While classic oral hygiene indices are aimed at smooth surfaces and approximal spaces, there are now modifications in the context of orthodontically treated teeth with brackets.
