Matters needing attention after orthodontics

The problem of uneven teeth is very common, so many parents choose to do orthodontics for their children. Orthodontics is a long process. After correction, we should pay attention to the following problems in order to better protect dental health.

Maintain oral hygiene

In the process of orthodontics, wearing braces will inevitably affect eating, and every time you eat a good meal, your teeth will be stuck by a lot of meals, so you need to pay special attention to oral hygiene. Brush your teeth carefully after meals, and it is best to choose a special toothbrush.

Decalcification of teeth

Some people have square marks on their teeth after removing braces, which is decalcification caused by poor oral hygiene. After the braces are removed, they can be slowly improved through diet conditioning.

pay attention to the diet

In the process of orthodontics, we should also pay attention to diet problems. Don't eat hard food, try to let children eat some sticky food, and let them eat less hard food that will affect their utensils, such as bones, nuts, fried food and so on.

After orthodontics

It is best for children to wear a retainer for a period of time after orthodontics, otherwise it is easy to rebound. At the same time, parents should urge their children to protect their teeth.
