Biofilm on orthodontic retention wires
, 2015 Orthodontische behandelingen worden steeds populairder. Om na een orthodontische behandeling het resultaat vast te houden, worden retentiedraden achter de voortanden geplaatst. Deze draden zijn heel effectief, maar hebben als nadeel dat er biofilm (tandplaque) aan de draden hecht, waardoor rondom deze draden vaker complicaties zoals tandvleesontsteking
