Must I brush my teeth after eating braces? During orthodontics, it is recommended to brush your teeth at three o'clock in the morning, noon and evening, as long as you have finished eating and before the follow-up visit. And when brushing your teeth, every tooth surface that can be brushed should be effectively cleaned, and the rain and dew should be stained! Cleaning around the appliance is very important, and the soft dirt and food residue on the teeth should be carefully brushed.
How should people with braces correctly brush their teeth for normal people? We recommend the method of brushing up and down. This method may be of little use after orthodontic treatment with braces, because there are two rows of steel wires on the braces, which block the path of the toothbrush. At this time, transverse brushing will be more effective, but it is not suitable for long-distance and sawing brushing, which will damage the tooth surface and cause unnecessary wear. The side brush mentioned here refers to the short-distance and small-amplitude side brush method, that is, the toothbrush is placed between the steel wire of the appliance and the tooth flesh, inclined at a 45-degree angle with the occlusal surface, and gently brushed back and forth on the tooth surface to carry out side brush in a small range.
Always wear braces, okay? First look at the types of braces. Of course, invisible braces should always wear braces, except when eating. Otherwise, the expected effect will not be achieved at the time specified by the doctor. Another kind of braces is the retainer after orthodontics. Because teeth move all their lives, orthodontic treatment can't guarantee 100% recurrence, but if you wear the retainer according to the doctor's instructions, it won't affect the treatment effect. If it really recurs, you can only correct the teeth again and move them back to the beautiful state at the end of correction.
