Brackets create the biofilm environment.
Great Gums addresses what happens next.

Orthodontic hardware is a perfect scaffold for plaque. Patients come in for adjustments with inflammation, decalcification risk, and tissue that tells the story of two months of inadequate home care.

Great Gums uses patented bioelectric technology to disrupt biofilm in the spaces where bracket-adjacent tissue is most vulnerable, giving your patients a home care tool built for the environment you've created.

Clinically Proven Results
50.8% reduction in gum inflammation
64.2% reduction in bleeding on probing
17.9% reduction in plaque

The clinical data is strong. But the real proof is the patient who finishes treatment with tissue as healthy as when they started. We want you to see that for yourself.

The clinical challenge

Orthodontic treatment creates a hygiene problem conventional brushes weren't designed to solve

Fixed appliances dramatically change the oral environment. The same hardware that's moving teeth is also creating dozens of retention sites for pathogenic biofilm, many of them inaccessible to standard brush bristle motion.

Bracket margins trap biofilm.
The gingival margin around each bracket is a high-risk zone for plaque accumulation that mechanical brushing consistently misses.
Inflammation affects tooth movement.
Persistent gingivitis during treatment is not just a cosmetic concern. Chronic tissue inflammation can complicate the biological response to orthodontic forces.
White spot lesions are preventable.
Decalcification around brackets is a direct consequence of prolonged biofilm contact. It is one of the most common complications of fixed orthodontic treatment and one of the hardest to explain to a patient.
Patients genuinely try and still fail.
The problem is not effort, it's equipment. Standard brushes were not designed around the geometry of a mouth with fixed appliances.
Great Gums gives patients a home care tool that matches the complexity of their oral environment.
By disrupting biofilm at the sulcular level around bracket margins and under the gumline, Great Gums addresses the specific hygiene challenge orthodontic treatment creates.

The technology

Why Great Gums reaches where other brushes don't

Biofilm does not respond to bristle pressure alone. In the gingival sulcus and around bracket margins, bacteria adhere in structured colonies that mechanical action disrupts only at the surface.

Great Gums uses patented bioelectric technology to disrupt biofilm at the attachment level, reaching areas that standard sonic or manual brushes cannot reliably address, regardless of technique or compliance.
