1- How should the nutrition be during orthodontics?
During treatment avoid junk, corn, colored and hard foods. Eat foods rich in calcium, minerals and vitamins. Drinking cold drinks can be enjoyable during this period.
2- What should we do if the brackets become loose or broken?
In these cases, contact your orthodontist and get an emergency orthodontic examination. If you are not concerned about these cases, they will interfere with your orthodontic treatment.
3-How to clean orthodontic brackets?
To clean fixed orthodontic brackets, use a special orthodontic brush. Using chlorhexidine mouthwash during this period can lead to yellowing of the teeth. Therefore, please use appropriate mouthwash during orthodontic treatment in order to prevent yellowing of the teeth.
4-Do orthodontic brackets affect speech?
In the early days of orthodontic treatment, you may have some problems, however, after a few days, the patient gets used to the braces and starts pronouncing words correctly. This problem may persist for a longer period of time in lingual or posterior orthodontics.
5- How often should we visit the dentist for an examination?
It depends on the opinion of the orthodontist and can range from two weeks to two months. The orthodontist mentions the next session after each patient appointment. The time period between visits varies depending on the type and stage of treatment.
