Different procedure: "Deep Cleaning" means to remove tarter below the gum line and curette any granulation tissues. Prophylaxis means to clean the teeth above the gum line, removing any plaque, tarter, or stains. Marks caused by ineffective oral hygiene allowing bacteria to etch the tooth enamel is treated with restorations. Your General Dentist will perform these procedures for you.

You should: In general, the orthodontist will remove the braces and give you a basic polish of your teeth. normal stains will be removed in the same time. If you have more stains discuss it with your dentist.
