It is best to brush your teeth with a special orthodontic toothbrush or interval brush during correction. Some people have square marks on their teeth after removing braces, which is decalcification caused by poor oral hygiene. Slight decalcification will gradually improve after removing braces, but if decalcification is serious, even a small hole will be formed on the teeth, which cannot be recovered. Therefore, it is very important to brush your teeth when correcting.

2. Don't eat sticky food during correction.

Diet during correction is very important, because brushing your teeth becomes more difficult, so try to eat less sticky food, such as glutinous rice food such as rice cakes. In addition, eat less hard objects that will affect the appliance, such as bones, nuts, fried food and so on. Large pieces of food should be cut into small pieces and sent to the mouth. It is best not to eat all the foods that need to be chewed, such as sugar cane and apples. If you want to eat, you can cut it into pieces.

3. Adhere to the shelf life after revision.

The retention period after correction is very important for consolidating the effect of orthodontics, and it is often overlooked by everyone, that is, the stage of wearing the retainer after taking off the braces. You usually need to wear it for 24 hours at first, and then the time will be shorter and shorter, for example, you only need to wear it when you sleep, or wear it every other day. If you wear braces, you can come once every six months.
