For years, dental research has consistently demonstrated that good oral hygiene practices, including regular brushing, flossing, dental check-ups, and maintaining a balanced diet, are fundamental to overall health and well-being. Engaging in daily brushing and flossing routines is directly associated with a reduced risk of periodontal disease, which not only helps in preventing tooth loss but also lowers the risk of developing heart disease. Furthermore, routine dental check-ups are crucial for the early detection of oral health issues, such as cavities and oral cancer,
allowing for timely treatment and the prevention of more severe conditions.
Effective management of oral hygiene also plays a significant role in reducing the risk of developing serious health conditions linked to poor oral health, including diabetes and respiratory diseases. The compelling body of evidence supports the optimistic view that by adopting and promoting good oral hygiene habits, individuals can significantly enhance their oral health, which in turn contributes to their overall health and reduces the medical costs associated with oral diseases.

Effects of remote digital monitoring on oral hygiene of orthodontic patients
Implementing remote digital monitoring in orthodontic treatment significantly improved plaque control and reduced the onset of carious lesions, suggesting a valuable tool for maintaining oral health.
THE RESULTS
290% Improvement on plaque control in the study group in 6 months
No carious lesions were detected in the study group, %5 of subjects were diagnosed in the control group.
Fewer emergency appointments for the study group had.
