This question is worth 10 points. =)
I went to an orthodontist's office (getting Invisalign clear braces). They took impressions using some plastic trays (one was too big and they used another smaller set). They also took pictures of inside of my mouth. To help with the pictures, they used several pieces of plastic tools. One in particular is used to keep your tongue down or out of the way when taking pictures (looks like a small plastic spatula), another set of two is used to stretch the mouth (goes inside the mouth and has handles that stay outside to pull). They also used a mirror (put inside the mouth) 3"X4" to take pictures, etc.
Q: How are all these plastic tools and the mirror sterilized? I am sure the mirror isn't for one time use only.
Q: How about the rest of the plastic pieces? Are they reusable?
Q: Aren't the technicians suppose to wear gloves when conducting this work?
The plastic tools are sterilized by a germicide which is a cold sterilization solution - there are a number of them, just google "cold sterile" and they come up.
The mirror - assuming it is a large mirror will be wiped down with isopropyl alcohol.
The rest of the plastic pieces are also sterilized by the germicide.
Usually, the techs do wear gloves for this, however it is possible to do all this work without actually contacting your oral tissues with the fingers or with anything that contacted the fingers.
Like, technically, I could stretch your cheek with a mirror while placing the impression tray (which I only hold on the holder end) and never actually contact your mouth with my fingers.
The techs have a much higher chance of catching something from you than the other way around.
Yes, everything has to be sterilized. If you have doubts, just ask the orthodontist in charge your questions and I'm sure they'll explain it to you - they may even show you the germicide solution if you ask.
Hope this helps.
