Our take – DentaDenta UV Sterilsers

For people whose teeth have been damaged in an accident, the story of a cyclist whose dental and orthodontic care helped restore his smile shows how much recovery depends on specialist treatment. Anyone wearing braces, retainers or a mouth guard after an injury should follow their dentist or orthodontist's advice first, as only they can judge what treatment is needed. The story was published by Scottish Dental Magazine and features an Against the Odds award winner who shares his experience of orthodontic treatment following a serious cycling accident.

Orthodontic treatment can be a long process, and appliances such as braces, retainers and clear aligners need regular care to stay in good condition. Our customers, particularly parents of children with braces or retainers and adults using clear aligners, often ask how to keep these items clean between uses. A UV steriliser case is one simple way to help keep them clean between uses, without chemicals. It is a useful habit to add to a daily routine that also includes brushing and attending check-ups.

Sports players also face injury risks. Anyone who wears a mouth guard or gum shield for rugby, boxing, hockey or martial arts should check with their dentist about fit and protection, and then keep the guard clean between sessions. Our steriliser is designed to clean gum shields, mouth guards and night guards between uses, which fits neatly into the kit bag routine.

We would always encourage anyone recovering from dental trauma to speak to a dentist or orthodontist before making decisions about their care. Our role is simply to help keep your appliances clean between uses.

A man who was badly hurt in a serious cycling accident has told his story. The crash put his teeth at risk, and his life too. He has since won an Against the Odds award, and he explains how orthodontic treatment helped put his smile back on track.

Why it matters: It shows how orthodontic treatment can help someone rebuild their smile after a serious accident.

Key words: teeth, serious cycling accident, Against the Odds award, orthodontic treatment, smile back on track
