Hydrogen Peroxide and Braces

"On the Use of Hydrogen Peroxide and Braces"

The use of braces is common. However, the method of cleaning is quite crucial. Hydrogen peroxide is often considered by many people, and they want to know whether it can be used with braces.

Hydrogen peroxide has oxidation properties and can clean and sterilize. It is also effective in oral cleaning. However, when used with braces, it should be used with caution.

The material of braces may be damaged due to the strong oxidation of hydrogen peroxide. If the braces are metallic, hydrogen peroxide may cause them to oxidize and rust, which affects their function and appearance. If it is plastic or resin braces, it may also cause aging, deformation, and reduce its service life.

And the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is also a major factor. High concentrations, although strong bactericidal power, can irritate the oral mucosa and gums, causing redness, swelling, and pain.

Therefore, if you want to use hydrogen peroxide to clean the mouth wearing braces, use low concentrations, and use caution. First, dilute with an appropriate amount of hydrogen peroxide in proportion, then dip it in a soft brush, gently wipe the braces and teeth, and then rinse with water.

In short, the use of hydrogen peroxide and braces together has advantages and disadvantages. Proper use can help clean the mouth; improper use can lead to endless consequences. Every care must be taken to ensure oral health and the integrity of braces.
