In Brief

Detailed Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of different toothbrushes in patients with fixed orthodontic appliances who have gingival inflammation. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is a single-tufted toothbrush as effective as orthodontic or conventional toothbrushes? 2. What are the effects of these toothbrushes on dental biofilm removal and gingival inflammation? Researchers will compare conventional toothbrushes, orthodontic toothbrushes, and single-tufted toothbrushes after professional mechanical debridement and oral hygiene instruction. Participants will: 1. Receive nonsurgical periodontal therapy 2. According to the group they are involved, they will receive an oral hygiene kit (toothbrush and toothpaste) and instruction 3.
