Useful tips for wearing your braces<\/h1>\n

Are countless questions swirling in your head about how you can carry on your everyday life worry-free with braces? From our article you can find out what is worth paying attention to when eating, and how to brush your teeth properly. What is more, it will also turn out that braces do not negatively affect sport or your social life<\/strong>, and that placing and wearing them does not involve serious pain or discomfort.<\/span><\/p>\n

How can we prevent food from <\/strong>getting stuck in the braces?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The appliances are designed to resist wear, but the small parts can be damaged during meals. In the first days after the appliance is placed, the tongue, the teeth and the lips may become sensitive. At such times it is worth eating soft foods that do not require much chewing. Examples include oatmeal, scrambled eggs, soups, pasta dishes, soft fruits, steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, soft cheeses and ice cream, which cools the irritated mucous membrane. There are, however, foods on the forbidden list that must be avoided so that the appliance does not get damaged. Examples include popcorn, seeds, chewing gum, caramel, brittle (grillage), jelly sweets, hard candies and hard biscuits. <\/span><\/p>\n

Since food debris and deposits that in the long term cause tooth decay and gum inflammation can easily stick around the brackets of bonded braces, it is advisable to brush your teeth after every meal. We also give tips on this topic further down, in the “establishing a daily routine” section. <\/span><\/p>\n

Sport with braces: injuries are rare and avoidable<\/b><\/h2>\n

The question often arises whether wearing braces affects our sporting habits. Fortunately, with a little care we can carry on our favourite activity without any problem. Sports involving heavier impacts – such as football, handball, combat sports – are, however, worth practising with caution. The reason for this is that the impacts can damage the braces, which can cut the lips. For the physical activities mentioned, the use of silicone mouthguards or tooth guards made for this purpose is recommended, as these prevent the lips from being pressed against the appliance. With Invisalign invisible braces, on the other hand, any sport can be practised confidently, because they protect the teeth rather than causing injury. <\/span><\/p>\n

Establishing a daily routine with braces<\/b><\/h2>\n

With braces, particular attention must be paid to meticulous cleaning. This is important because food debris can easily accumulate under the braces, which can lead to gingivitis and decay. We recommend that our patients brush their teeth after every meal with a soft-bristled toothbrush or an electric toothbrush, taking care to clean the hard-to-reach areas properly as well. Among toothpastes, we should prefer the fluoride versions. Fluoride destroys bacteria and replenishes the minerals in the tooth enamel that are dissolved out by acidic foods and drinks. The interdental brush is used for cleaning the gaps between the teeth. It is used for cleaning the gaps between the front teeth and the molars. It is advisable to obtain several different sizes of this tool. <\/span><\/p>\n

Braces and social effects: far more cool than embarrassing<\/b><\/h2>\n

People generally have mixed feelings towards these appliances. On the one hand they wait excitedly for them to be bonded on, so that they can finally get closer to the smile they desire. On the other hand they are a little worried about how wearing the appliance will affect their social relationships. Since nowadays more and more emphasis is placed on aesthetics and health awareness, wearing braces is not only not embarrassing, but it actually reveals the discerning nature of the wearer, who does something for their health. It is indeed important to make ourselves aware that, by restoring functionality (more efficient chewing, the disappearance of tension in the muscles and joints of the jaw, the prevention of tooth wear and tooth damage, the improvement of oral hygiene), orthodontic treatment<\/a><\/strong> can also bring a serious improvement in well-being, while the perfect result achieved in aesthetics improves our self-image and can thereby build our self-confidence.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do I have to fear pain during orthodontic treatment?<\/b><\/h2>\n

While wearing the appliance it is completely normal to experience minor pain or discomfort at first, which usually occurs in the days following placement and after adjustments. A significant part of the pain stems from the pressure and tension needed to move the teeth, but the wires and brackets can also cause a little pain as they rub against the lip. More serious pain can only be caused by a protruding wire or some other damage to the appliance. In such cases we should arrange an appointment with our orthodontic specialist as soon as possible, who will provide quick and effective help.<\/span><\/p>\n
