Braces and Invisalign (orthodontics)
Orthodontic treatments to straighten teeth range from traditional metal braces to clear aligners, lingual braces, and other corrective devices. These treatments can sometimes cause irritation or sensitivity in the gums, cheeks, and lips, especially during adjustments or when new appliances are applied.
Cause
Braces gently move teeth into better alignment, but this process can cause temporary soreness or irritation. The pressure applied by wires and brackets shifts teeth through bone and gum tissue, which naturally leads to tenderness. The metal parts can also rub against the inside of the cheeks or lips, creating small spots of discomfort until the mouth adjusts, sometimes the devices aren't a perfect fit and can rub and cut into gum tissue.
Solution
PEP+ BEAM is designed to help maintain comfort and support the natural health of the oral tissues during orthodontic care. Its peptide-enriched formula helps soothe and calm areas that feel sensitive, while the oral rinse can be used daily to maintain a refreshed, comfortable mouth. The oral gel provides a protective, moisturizing layer on delicate spots, helping to enhance comfort and leave the mouth feeling cared for.
Together, these products support a more comfortable orthodontic experience, helping patients feel at ease while eating, speaking, and performing daily oral care.
