What happens while wearing braces?
▶ You can expect tooth pain.
For the first 3~7 days once you have
braces, you may experience toothache.
This is normal, as your jaw surrounding
the teeth tends to move
into the right position.
There is no need to worry about it.
▶ Braces adjustment is necessary.
When the appliance is attached for
the first time or is replaced with a
new one, essentially the time period of
the adjustments is advised.
When the treatment starts off with a
thin wire to straighten the crooked teeth,
the wire can move in the mouth and
hurt. Even worse, the tissue inside your
mouth might experience discomfort from
continuous poking wires.
In this case, use a wax provided from
the hospital or over-the-counter drugs
such as Oramedi or Albothyl.
▶Changes occur in dental occlusion.
When a tooth’s root and crown gradually
move and the changes in the tooth
location occur, the arrangement of
the teeth becomes different as well.
While wearing braces, eat the foods
with the both sides of your mouth and bite
down small pieces of foods over 30 times.
When possible, you would better
cut up hard foods into smaller pieces and
chew often and slowly.
