Patients can also use various other holders. Another key element of the Ortho Kit, the ortho wax helps patients become used to their appliance and protects the oral mucosa from abrasion and injury by bracket edges. The trans- parent and tasteless wax can easily be placed on to the brackets once warmed and is available in a convenient carrying case. Finally, the Ortho Kit contains a brochure with tips and advice on how to clean teeth and appliances efectively. It pro- vides specific oral hygiene instructions for each product, as well as information about proper nutrition. More than just communication In addition to ofering innovative products, Curaden emphasises the need to motivate dental profes- sionals and patients. Motivation is crucial for efective orthodontic treatment because it en- courages patients to engage in positive behavioural change and helps to achieve an overall positive outcome. Through the iTOP (individually trained oral prophylaxis) educational system, dental pro- fessionals will learn to communicate more efec- tively with their patients, to listen to their ques- tions and concerns, and to establish long-lasting good oral hygiene for their patients. Owing to the combination of high-quality products and efec- tive communication, dental professionals can ensure that their patients act in accordance with their advice and practise good oral health habits. ortho 2/2017 33
