Benefits of technology

[0014] In accordance with various embodiments and aspects of the present invention, methods for orthodontia care are provided. Exemplary methods provide a relatively inexpensive and safe treatment for facilitating maintenance and improvement of oral health and/or hygiene, such as thro

Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, poor oral health affects millions of people every year.
Poor oral health may result in symptoms ranging from bad breath, tooth decay, and tooth discoloration, to more serious health problems, such as gingivitis, periodontitis, and even general health problems, such as heart disease, stroke, poorly controlled diabetes and preterm labor.
The presence of dental plaque, or simply plaque, in an oral cavity can lead to such oral and general health problems.
If not removed, however, the presence of plaque can give rise to tartar formation, gum bleeding, tooth decay, gingivitis, periodontitis, and other health problems.
Tartar adheres to hard surfaces such as enamel, roots, and dental devices, such as orthodontia (e.g., braces), dentures, bridges, crowns, fillings, and the like, and is generally more difficult to remove than plaque.
Brushing and flossing are normally not sufficient to remove tartar from a surface.
If left untreated, tartar buildup can be problematic in several

specific examples

[0080] The following non-limiting examples illustrate improvement in oral health using a system, kit, and method in accordance with various embodiments of the invention. These examples are merely illustrative, and it is not intended that the invention be limited to the examples. Kits, systems, and compositions in accordance with the present invention may include the ingredients listed below as well as additional and / or alternative inert materials, preservatives, and other constituents typically found in compositions for promoting oral health. In the case where exemplary inert materials and / or preservatives are listed, these ingredients are merely exemplary, and it is understood that other similar ingredients may be substituted for the materials listed in the examples below.

example 1

[0081] A pale light pink viscous gel, having a viscosity of about 40,000 cp, with cinnamon-clove characteristic odor and taste is formed by admixing the following ingredients, as described above, in the amounts shown. The composition was sealed in system 500, illustrated in FIG. 5.
