How to take care of your oral cavity and teeth after orthodontic treatment

Many people pay great attention to their appearance. The beauty of teeth will affect the beauty of the entire face, especially when the teeth are crooked or yellow, which will seriously affect the beauty of the face. Many people sit back and relax after having orthodontic treatment. In fact, the care after orthodontic treatment is very critical. So how should we take care of our teeth after orthodontic treatment? Below we will introduce it to you in detail.

1. Dental care tools

1) Use an orthodontic toothbrush. It can clean both teeth and brackets. Move the toothbrush back and forth in short strokes, cleaning the surfaces of your teeth, where your teeth meet your gums, and your biting surfaces.

2) Cut a 45cm long piece of dental floss and pass it through the floss guide. Place the tip of the guide under the archwire and pass it between the teeth. Use dental floss to slide up and down along the surface of teeth to clean teeth.

3) Use an interdental brush. Clean between teeth and archwires, or clean larger spaces between teeth. You can choose a suitable brush head according to the size of your teeth. Gently insert the brush head between the teeth and move it back and forth along the teeth to clean the teeth.

2. Pay more attention to your diet

1) Rinse your mouth with water or tea after meals. There are also a large number of microorganisms in the human mouth. The best way to take care of your teeth is of course to brush your teeth after every meal.

2) Do not eat bones or hard-shelled foods. When undergoing orthodontic treatment, you must take good care of the braces on your teeth. Foods that need to be gnawed or cracked should not be eaten. Meat must be cut with a knife or torn into small pieces with hands or peeled before eating. It cannot be gnawed or torn directly with teeth.

3) Eat less snacks. Cut back on snacks and sweets, especially chewing gum, which can stick to your braces. When teenagers are getting orthodontic treatment, parents should urge their children to follow the doctor's instructions, such as going to the hospital for regular check-ups, replacing wires, wearing rubber bands, etc.

The above is about the care after orthodontic treatment. You must pay attention to the maintenance of your teeth after orthodontic treatment, rinse your mouth in time after meals, do not eat hard foods such as bones, eat less corrosive foods such as candies and drinks. Teeth are a key part of our body. We recommend that you develop good habits of dental care and have a healthy habit of tooth care.
