Loss of chewing ability from orthodontic bite and jaw cushion plates usually takes about a month to recover. Patients who have orthodontic treatment and have a bite plate placed on their teeth will have some impact on their chewing ability in the beginning, but with the gradual correction of the teeth and the gradual restoration of the bite plate, the ability to chew will also be restored, and it will usually take about a month for the patient to be able to chew normally. During the recovery period, it is recommended to have a light diet and not to eat foods that are too cold and too hard, such as ice cream, nuts, crabs, bone foods, and so on. Food can be cooked softer and fruits can be cut into slices or pieces before eating. Brush your teeth or rinse your mouth after meals to maintain good oral hygiene and avoid the growth of bacteria.
