Application Areas

Colgate Phos-Flur Ortho Defense is designed for use during active orthodontic treatment with fixed braces. It is most effective when used as part of a comprehensive oral hygiene routine that includes brushing around brackets, flossing with orthodontic flossers or threaders, and rinsing with the mouthwash once or twice daily. Dental professionals often recommend it for patients who show early signs of demineralization or who have difficulty cleaning around brackets. The rinse is not a substitute for brushing but works alongside it to reach areas that mechanical cleaning alone may leave exposed.

Preparation & Use

Use once daily, preferably at bedtime, after brushing and flossing. Measure approximately one teaspoon (5 mL) and rinse vigorously around all teeth and braces for one minute, then spit out. Do not eat, drink, or rinse for 30 minutes afterward to allow the fluoride maximum contact time with enamel. For children under 12, consult an orthodontist or dentist before use.
