The success of orthodontic treatment depends, in part, upon the oral hygienic status of the patient and his active cooperation in the treatment. The purpose of this paper is to review the organization of a dental hygiene program in the orthodontic practice. Before treatment the dental hygienists should motivate the patient, teach him plaque control techniques, and remove hard and soft deposits; she can organize the gathering of documents necessary to the orthodontist to study the case. The author describes the components of the recall appointment, that must take place frequently during treatment; and suggests technical hints useful for the organization of a maintenance program after treatment.
