At the initial stage of treatment, experts pointed out that many orthodontic friends will feel toothache when they start wearing the appliance, which is caused by the strength of the appliance. At this time, you can try to eat some soft foods, such as porridge and noodles, until the pain gradually disappears. During the treatment, experts pointed out that oral hygiene is often more difficult to clean than usual because of the use of instruments. At this time, if you don't pay attention to hygiene and cleanliness, it is often easy to form tooth demineralization or plaque accumulation and gum inflammation.
Over time, there will be symptoms such as dental caries or periodontitis. Therefore, adhering to the correct methods of brushing and flossing is closely related to maintaining oral hygiene and orthodontics. During the treatment, a balanced diet is helpful for dental treatment. However, because the appliance is attached to the tooth surface, the thin arch wire can not accept the excessive bite force, so it is necessary to ensure a balanced diet and prevent eating food with excessive bite force during orthodontics. ?
The food that should be prevented during orthodontics is hard food, such as nuts or hard candy or popcorn. All these will lead to the loosening, deformation and shedding of the appliance, which will affect orthodontics. There are also foods that are too sticky, such as toffee or maltose, and biscuits. Because they will stick to the corrector and scale line to form the displacement of the instrument. In addition, for large foods, such as apples or carrots, they should be cut into small pieces before eating. Finally, don't eat too sweet food.
