- Abstract
Scientific evidence confirms that the dental biofilm accumulation and retention promoted by orthodontic appliances can impose potential risks to orthodontic patients for emergence of oral diseases. The aim of this study is to verify the aspects related to biofilm development associated to orthodontics. The main sites of bacterial accumulation were investigated, such as orthodontic brackets, archwire ligation techniques and adhesives interface.
