[Effectiveness of electric or manual toothbrush in dental plaque removal in patients with fixed orthodontic appliances].

For patients with fixed orthodontic appliances, adequate daily dental plaque removal is more difficult. As a result, dental plaque accumulates more quickly and gingivitis and white spots develop more often. In non-orthodontic patients, electric toothbrushing is more effective in dental plaque removal than a manual toothbrush. This structured literature review shows that there is limited evidence that electric toothbrushes are more effective in plaque removal than a manual toothbrush in patients with fixed orthodontic appliances.
