In daily oral care, in addition to toothbrushes and toothpaste, the use of mouthwash has gradually become a healthy habit for more and more people. Among the many mouthwash products, alkaline mouthwash is becoming a new favorite of consumers because of its significant advantages in preventing caries, resisting acid, and protecting tooth enamel. Especially for people who are in the orthodontic period (wearing braces), choosing a professional alkaline mouth rinse can not only clean the mouth, but also play an effective "acid-base regulation" and "physiological buffering" role in the oral environment with more physical obstacles.
This article will comprehensively analyze the mechanism of action and usage advantages of weak alkaline mouthwash, and explore why our newly launched professional orthodontic alkalescent mouthwash is an ideal daily care choice.
1. What is weak alkaline mouthwash?
Weak alkaline mouthwash, also known as alkaline mouth rinse or alkalescent mouthwash, refers to a type of oral care product with a pH value slightly higher than 7 and a weak alkaline property. This type of product usually adopts a scientific ratio, is mildly neutral and alkaline, does not contain alcohol, can effectively neutralize the acidic environment in the mouth, reduce the risk of enamel demineralization, and thus play an important role in protecting oral health.
2. Advantages of weak alkaline mouthwash
Neutralize oral acidity and reduce enamel demineralization
Modern people's diet structure often contains acidic substances, such as carbonated drinks, fruit juice, vinegar food, etc. These acidic foods may destroy the acid-base balance in the mouth, causing the loss of calcium and phosphorus in the enamel, which is what we often call "tooth demineralization". The main component of enamel is hydroxyapatite, which is very easy to dissolve in an acidic environment.
The weak alkaline formula of alkaline mouth wash can effectively neutralize these acidic substances, help restore the pH balance of the mouth, thereby slowing down or even preventing the demineralization of enamel and playing a role in protecting teeth.
Reduce bad breath, and freshen your breath even with braces
During the period when orthodontic patients wear braces, there are more gaps between teeth, food residues are easily left, cleaning becomes more difficult, and the problem of bad breath in the mouth becomes more obvious. Alkaline mouthwash usually contains plant-extracted deodorizing factors, combined with antibacterial ingredients such as Domiphen Bromide, which can effectively reduce the growth of harmful bacteria in the mouth, solve the odor problem from the source, and keep the breath fresh.
Gentle and non-irritating, more user-friendly for orthodontic users
Many mouthwashes add alcohol to enhance the bactericidal effect, but for people wearing braces, this irritation may cause discomfort or even pain in the oral mucosa. Alkaline mouthwash is mostly a mild formula with 0 alcohol, which is non-irritating and non-spicy. Long-term use will not cause damage to the oral mucosa, and is more suitable for sensitive people or teenagers.
Fluoride ingredients to enhance tooth decay resistance
In addition to neutralizing acidity and inhibiting bacteria, many alkaline mouth rinse products also add an appropriate amount of fluoride, which reacts with fluoride ions and tooth enamel to generate more stable fluoroapatite, further enhancing the tooth's resistance to acid corrosion. Especially during orthodontic treatment, white spots and demineralization are more likely to appear on the surface of teeth. The addition of fluoride can better prevent the occurrence of caries.
3. Why do orthodontic people especially need to use alkaline mouthwash?
Oral challenges during orthodontic treatment
There are many blind spots for cleaning: cleaning obstacles caused by braces, brackets and wires make it difficult to completely remove food residues with ordinary brushing;
Bacteria are easy to breed: the gaps between braces become a hiding place for bacteria, which can easily cause gingivitis and caries;
Tooth enamel is easily damaged: due to the long-term coverage of braces, the saliva circulation in the local area of the teeth is affected, the efficiency of calcium and phosphorus supplementation decreases, and enamel demineralization is more likely to occur;
Bad breath problems are prominent: after wearing orthodontic devices, changes in eating habits and insufficient cleaning will cause bad breath.
Therefore, choosing a product that can fully care for the oral cavity in terms of soothing the mouth, strengthening antibacterial, inhibiting acidity, and protecting tooth enamel has become a rigid demand for orthodontic users. Alkaline mouthwash is such a care product "tailor-made" for orthodontic people.
4. How to use weak alkaline mouthwash correctly?
It is recommended to use it twice a day: use it after brushing your teeth in the morning and evening, about 10-15ml each time;
Rinse your mouth for no less than 30 seconds: ensure that the ingredients are in full contact with the mouth;
Do not eat or drink immediately: try to avoid eating within 30 minutes after use to prolong the efficacy of the drug;
Use it with a special orthodontic toothbrush/interdental brush/irrigator for better results;
Persistent use: forming a long-term weak alkaline environment in the oral cavity, which is more conducive to the repair and protection of tooth enamel.
5. Choose a reliable mouthwash factory
There are many brands of mouthwash on the market today, and the quality varies. It is very important to choose a reliable mouth wash factory. A high-quality production factory can not only provide scientifically formulated alkaline mouthwash products, but also ensure the safety of ingredients, the stability of the ratio and the mild taste of the product.
An excellent mouthwash factory usually has the following characteristics:
Has a complete GMP clean production workshop;
Equipped with a professional oral care R&D team;
Can provide customized formula services (ODM/OEM);
The product has passed multiple safety and efficacy tests;
Perfect after-sales service and brand support.
For brand owners, choosing a suitable cooperative factory is the first step to establish product credibility; for consumers, choosing alkalescent mouthwash products from professional factories can provide more stable protection for oral health.
Weakly alkaline mouthwash is becoming a new trend in oral care products, especially for orthodontic users, people with oral sensitivity and consumers who want to prevent oral problems comprehensively. Its "multi-effect in one" characteristics - antibacterial, deodorizing, acid-resistant, tooth protection, and mildness - just meet the high standards of modern people's oral care.
Whether from a scientific perspective, taste experience, or long-term oral health management, alkaline mouth rinse is a trustworthy choice. And controlling quality from the source and choosing a mouth wash factory with strength is the key to ensuring the effectiveness and safety of oral care products.
In the future, as people's awareness of oral health increases, weakly alkaline formulas will be more widely accepted and applied. Choosing an alkaline mouth wash that suits you and your family members will also become an important symbol of high-quality life.
