I’m updating my chairside education kit and need concise, evidence-based printables that explain plaque biofilm control and interdental cleaning in 1–2 pages at a 6th‑grade reading level. My current favorite is a single-page brushing + interdental brush guide with pre/post disclosing photos and a simple 2‑minute routine for fixed ortho; happy to share for feedback if you can point me to similar handouts or templates.
I’ve had better results with a one‑pager that swaps your “pre/post disclosing photos” for a single split‑screen image plus a big 2‑minute timer graphic, so kids with fixed ortho aren’t overwhelmed. I also add a small QR to ADA’s interdental cleaning explainer (https://www.mouthhealthy.org/en/az-topics/i/interdental-cleaners); if you’d rather keep it print‑only, a caption like “brush until the pink is gone” under the photo cues the routine just as well.
Quick tip from my kit: I add a tiny “mirror sticker” tear‑off at the bottom of the 1‑pager so ortho kids take home a 4‑step reminder (angle to gumline, short wiggles, sweep, interdental brush before bed) that reinforces your “2‑minute routine” without extra text. It prints clean in black‑and‑white to keep costs down; I also drop a QR to MouthHealthy’s braces page (Braces | MouthHealthy - Oral Health Information from the ADA) for parents, but skip it if you want strictly print‑only.
