In the video, we explain the key rules for caring for braces to ensure that treatment is effective and comfortable.
Hard and sticky foods put excessive strain on the brace system. This can lead to damage to the brackets or archwire and prolong the treatment time.
Which products should be excluded:
In the initial months after receiving braces, the temperature of food and drinks impacts the performance of the orthodontic system. Cold items can diminish the effectiveness of the treatment.
What to avoid:
When wearing braces, plaque accumulates quickly around the brackets. Without careful hygiene, this can lead to cavities and gum inflammation.
Basic care rules:
A regular toothbrush is not enough for effective cleaning of a brace system. An additional set of tools is required.
What should be used daily:
The evening cleaning is the most important stage in caring for teeth with braces. It helps to remove the plaque that has built up throughout the day.
What to pay attention to:
Incorrectly selected products may damage braces or tooth enamel.
Recommendations
Damage to a bracket is not an emergency situation, but it requires a doctor’s examination.
How to Act
During tooth movement, the archwire may shift and cause discomfort.
What to Do
Pain in the teeth is a normal reaction to the beginning or adjustment of orthodontic treatment.
How to Relieve the Condition
Bleeding during brushing is a sign of insufficient hygiene and plaque accumulation.
What to Change
At the beginning of wearing braces, the mucous membrane adapts to the new construction.

This is often put down to stress, the time of year, or “just a coincidence”. After a course of […]
Not everyone fears tooth loss or immediately wants to see a dentist. Many spend months adjusting to the gap, smiling more carefully, chewing on one side, and putting off treatment. It seems like one missing tooth is a minor issue that doesn’t affect daily life. But over time, the situation changes. Neighboring teeth begin to […]
