Caries Lesion Activity in Orthodontic Patients - Calcivis System

Following de-bond, and identification of active post-orthodontic white spot lesions at baseline with the Calcivis System, each active tooth will be again be imaged at 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks. Both black \& white and luminescent images images of the teeth are taken. The images of each tooth are overlaid and a resulting demineralization map of the tooth produced, indicating areas of elevated bioluminescence corresponding to free calcium ions on the surface of the tooth (active caries)
