Matters needing attention after wearing braces

Matters needing attention in wearing invisible correction

1, each invisible appliance is worn for about two weeks and 22 hours a day. When you eat and brush your teeth, it will be a little uncomfortable to wear the invisible appliance for the first time, and you will feel something in your mouth. This discomfort will get better in a week.

Please use clean water and toothbrush to clean the utensils every day. It is not allowed to soak the invisibility device in hot water, otherwise the invisibility device will be deformed.

3. Please carry the box with you, and put it in the box after taking off the invisibility device every time to prevent it from being lost.

4. Replace the new invisible appliance every two weeks or so, preferably before going to bed. Therefore, it is not necessary to take it off for at least 7-8 hours, which is beneficial to obtain better tooth movement effect. If there are children or pets at home, please put the invisible orthosis out of the reach of children and pets.

If the doctor needs you to wear a rubber band, please wear it according to the doctor's instructions and replace it with a new rubber band every day.

6. After each invisible appliance is worn, please put it back in the bag according to the number and keep it properly. If you accidentally lose the equipment, you can put it back and give us time to redo it.

7. When replacing a new contact appliance, please pay attention to the serial number and replace it according to the serial number. If you are on a business trip or traveling, please be sure to bring a new or old contact orthosis in case there is nothing new to wear after the orthosis is lost.

Matters needing attention after orthodontic bracket bonding

1. There will be discomfort and foreign body sensation after bracket bonding. This discomfort will disappear within a week.

2. Some patients are sensitive and may have oral ulcers. Please don't worry. You need to get used to this, or ask the doctor to give you a box of orthodontic protection wax and stick it on the bracket to reduce discomfort.

3. Teeth will feel pain or slight pain 2-5 days after each pressure. These are normal phenomena, please don't worry.

4. Because of the need of orthodontics, the doctor will put a thin orthodontic wire on the bracket, and the doctors on both sides will leave a length of 1-2 mm according to the orthodontic situation. Some people will be more sensitive and feel uncomfortable. At this time, you can ask the doctor to cut the steel wire left on both sides shorter.

5. In some cases, the steel wire will slide in the bracket. If the steel wire slips out from one side and sticks to the mucosa, please go to the clinic and ask the doctor to straighten the slipped steel wire.

6. During this period of orthodontics, because bacteria and soft dirt are easy to accumulate on brackets, please pay attention to maintaining good oral hygiene to avoid gingivitis and dental caries.

7. You'd better brush your teeth immediately after eating. Please take four things with you: toothpaste, toothbrush, tooth cup and small mirror. Do not eat hard and sticky food, so as to avoid the bracket falling off after occlusion, which will affect the overall treatment effect and prolong the correction time.
