1. Relieve pain and discomfort There will be a 1-2 week adjustment period after the first time you wear braces. After each follow-up appointment with added force, your teeth may produce a slight pain, which is usually tolerable, and the pain usually lasts about 2-3 days without medication. If the pain does not decrease or continues to worsen, please contact your doctor. To reduce the pain, measures such as holding cool water in the mouth, eating soft food, and using orthodontic protective wax can be used. 2, dietary considerations braces (scientific name orthodontic brackets, orthodontic brackets) fixed to the tooth surface by bonding, in general, will not fall off, in order to avoid the brackets fall off, in the diet need to pay attention to: can not gnaw with bone food. The following foods should be eaten after removing the bones: ribs, chicken wings, chicken legs, duck necks, rabbit heads, crabs, etc. Fruits with cores should be eaten after removing the cores: dates, plums, plums, nuts, etc. Large pieces of food and harder fruits should be eaten after being cut into small pieces or slices and chewed with the biting surface of the teeth when eating: apples, pears, peaches, etc. Eating harder foods (such as peanuts, beans, etc.) or sticky foods (such as rice cakes, dumplings, chewing gum, etc.) can easily cause the brackets to fall off and should be consumed with care. It is advisable to chew slowly, avoid swallowing, if you feel something hard against the bracket when chewing, you should not continue to bite the real, so as not to cause the bracket to fall off. 3, good oral hygiene habits Patients wearing braces should pay special attention to oral hygiene in the treatment process. If the teeth are not brushed clean, there will be food residue and soft scale on the tooth surface and around the brackets, and under the long-term action of oral bacteria, there will be gum redness, bleeding, gingivitis, periodontal disease, tooth surface demineralization and decay. Brushing time: Please make sure to brush your teeth after breakfast, lunch and dinner, after eating snacks and before the follow-up appointment. Brush your teeth for no less than three minutes each time. Make sure that all three sides of each tooth (labial, lingual and occlusal surfaces) are cleaned effectively. Focus on cleaning around the aligners, and brush carefully to remove any soft scale and residual food debris from the teeth. We recommend using a small-headed soft-bristled toothbrush or orthodontic-specific toothbrush, fluoride toothpaste, dental floss, gap brush and flosser. Tip: Rinsing is not a substitute for brushing! 4.Good doctor-patient cooperation Follow-up appointment on time: According to the doctor’s working hours and your specific situation, make a follow-up appointment. If you have a temporary problem, please call during the doctor’s working hours to change the appointment. Contact the doctor in time for the following: If the aligner falls out, or if you find a wire sticking in your mouth or a wire deformation, contact the doctor in time. The doctor will arrange a treatment time according to your specific situation. Wear the orthodontic device strictly according to medical advice. 5, correct bad oral habits Bad oral habits can lead to abnormal pressure on the mouth and jaw system, the longer the bad oral habits last, the greater the possibility and severity of malocclusion. Therefore, it is necessary to break the bad oral habits as early as possible to stop the development of malocclusion. Efficient, fast and perfect orthodontic treatment depends not only on the doctor’s skill, but also on the patient’s cooperation, and a good doctor-patient cooperation can achieve twice the result with half the effort. Please read the above precautions carefully and follow them strictly. Let’s work together to have a healthy and beautiful set of teeth!
