Brace Face!

Today my patient had braces. It was a little difficult to probe the buccal surfaces but even more hard to hand scale. I have to admit i was a wimp and just used my Ultrasonic for today. I wasn't feeling all that great and i didn't want to try and figure out how to use my handy dandy hand scaled instruments on him, so i cheated and used the ultrasonic which i found worked like a gem! Next weeks goals are to remember what to do with a returning patient?
