1 . Relieve pain and discomfort After the initial braces, there will be a 1-2 week adjustment period. After each follow-up consultation and force, the 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 cool water in the mouth, eating soft food and using orthodontic protective wax can be used. 2, dietary considerations braces (scientific name braces, orthodontic brackets) are fixed to the tooth surface by bonding, usually 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 with bones removed: (1) ribs, chicken wings, chicken legs, duck necks, rabbit heads, crabs, etc. (2) fruits with cores should be eaten after removing the core: dates, plums, plums, nuts, etc. (3) 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. (4) Eating hard 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 eaten 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 with braces patients in the treatment process should pay special attention to oral hygiene. If the teeth are not brushed clean, there will be food residue and soft scale around the tooth surface and brackets, and the gums will be red, swollen, bleeding, gingivitis, periodontal disease, tooth surface demineralization and caries under the long-term action of oral bacteria. (Gingivitis, typically manifested as redness and swelling of gum edge, bleeding from brushing, enamel demineralization, typically manifested as chalky plaque on the surface of sub-crown around the brackets) Brushing time: please make sure to brush your teeth after three meals in the morning, noon and night, after eating snacks and before follow-up. 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. Make sure that all three sides of each tooth are effectively cleaned when brushing. A small-headed soft-bristled toothbrush or orthodontic-specific toothbrush, fluoride toothpaste, dental floss, gap brush, and flosser are recommended. Orthodontic toothbrushes with longer bristles at the edge and shorter bristles in the middle can better adapt to the shape of the tooth surface after the brackets are attached. Use dental floss to clean under the arch wire, adjacent areas of the teeth and other parts that cannot be cleaned by the toothbrush (tooth gap brush) (flosser). 4.Good doctor-patient cooperation: Make a follow-up appointment according to the doctor’s working hours and your specific situation. If you have a temporary problem, please call during the doctor’s working hours to change the appointment. Contact your doctor promptly if your aligner falls out, or if you find a wire sticking in your mouth or a wire deformation. The doctor will arrange a treatment time according to your specific situation. Strictly follow the doctor’s instructions to wear orthodontic devices. 5, correct bad oral habits bad oral habits can lead to abnormal pressure on the oral and jaw systems, the longer the 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!
