Orthodontic Care

With the advancement of medical science in the world, today we get treatment for a variety of oral health concerns. For a long period of time, misaligned teeth has been one of the most critical dental problems. Misaligned teeth cause a variety of issues. Not only causing difficulty to chew the food in the right way & lead  to digestive health and gut problems but aesthetics & functional issues too.

Looking for the right treatment to align them with Invisalign or braces. 

If you want the best outcome from your orthodontic treatment being compliant with the treatment & following instructions is essential & this will help you in getting the most from your orthodontic treatment. 

In this article, we have listed some tips you can follow to receive the most out of your orthodontic treatment and have a beautiful smile.

1. Try To Maintain Healthy Oral Hygiene Throughout Your Orthodontic Treatment

You must routinely floss, brush your teeth and tongue to keep your mouth clean. 

You can prevent the braces stains from the uppermost layer of the teeth with appropriate brushing and cleaning as this will prevent the build-up of plaque. Additionally, you can keep bacteria at bay. It is important to keep your mouth clean to raise the success of orthodontic treatment.

2. Employ Effective Flossing and Brushing Techniques:

You may be brushing your teeth once a day. However during your orthodontic treatment, you must be more careful when it comes to your oral hygiene & you must brush your teeth at least two times a day. Apart from this, rinse your mouth after each meal. It will eliminate all the food particles that get stuck on the Invisalign attachments or braces.

With Invisalign, it is easier to maintain good oral hygiene as the aligners are removed to eat after which they can be washed, there’s also no restrictions on what you can or cannot eat.

3. Have Clarity From Your Dentist And Follow Their Instructions

You must speak to your dentist for clarity on the treatment process, time period, effectiveness, and desired outcome. They will provide you with every information about the treatment. Ensure you ask questions.

Inform your dentist of any discomfort during the treatment. They will offer you effective treatment. 

4. Be Careful of Your Drinking and Eating Habits During The Treatment

Your diet plays an important role in ensuring the overall effectiveness of the treatment. If you have carbonated drinks, eat lollies, and other fast food, it will have an effect on your tooth enamel & cause decay.

Fast food and lollies are sticky and will disturb the dental bonding of your teeth. For this reason, you must focus on eating healthy and nutritious foods.

5. Don’t skip Any Appointment With Your Dentist

Your dentist will schedule an appointment for a routine check-up several times during the treatment. Ensure not to miss any appointments as they will check the condition of your teeth and examine your treatment progress.
