Following orthodontic treatment, the mechanical debonding of brackets often results in damage to the enamel surface of teeth. Loss of natural luster, a roughened surface, and scarring may occur. When scarring occurs, a method for re-establishing the enamel luster and surface characteristics can be instituted by either the restorative dentist or the orthodontist. One method of restoring enamel luster and natural surface characteristics following removal of orthodontic fixtures is through a sequence of enamel polishing. This article discusses logical steps for the restoration of enamel through the utilization of polishing burs and progressive pastes (Proxyt), Ivoclar Vivadent, Amherst, NY) for the final aesthetic orthodontic result.
正畸治疗后，托槽的机械性拆除常常会导致牙齿釉质表面受损。可能会出现失去自然光泽、表面粗糙和瘢痕形成的情况。当出现瘢痕时，修复牙医或正畸医生可以采用一种方法来重建釉质的光泽和表面特征。正畸矫治器拆除后恢复釉质光泽和自然表面特征的一种方法是通过一系列的釉质抛光。本文讨论了利用抛光车针和渐进性抛光膏（Proxyt，义获嘉伟瓦登特公司，纽约州阿默斯特）来恢复釉质，以获得最终美观正畸效果的合理步骤。
