About

Although orthodontic therapy frequently improves tooth alignment and appearance, its problems with oral hygiene can make patients highly susceptible to gingivitis. After orthodontic treatment, gingivitis is a typical problem. New treatments that promote healing and decrease inflammation are needed. Ascorbic acid and Derma Pen used together have recently surfaced as a potentially effective therapy option for patients who seeking for periodontal therapy during and after orthodontic treatments.
