Why it matters

You should be able to see what the cleaning is designed to remove.

Guided Biofilm Therapy begins by making plaque biofilm visible, then uses targeted airflow and appropriate instrumentation to remove deposits from teeth, restorations, implants, and around orthodontic appliances.

The sequence gives the clinician a clear map, supports precise cleaning, and creates an immediate opportunity to improve home care where it matters most.

What we evaluate

The details that shape the right plan.

01

Routine prevention

Biofilm removal supports ongoing oral health.

02

Stain buildup

Surface stain may respond to controlled airflow.

03

Implants or restorations

Maintenance requires careful instrumentation.

04

Orthodontic appliances

Brackets and attachments create retention areas.

05

Sensitive areas

A controlled protocol can improve comfort.

06

Home-care blind spots

Disclosing shows exactly where biofilm remains.

Timing

Consistent maintenance keeps small problems small.

The best schedule depends on gum health, biofilm accumulation, restorations, implants, and individual risk. We recommend the interval your mouth actually needs.
