According to statistics, nearly 30% of children in China have misaligned teeth that require orthodontic treatment to improve. During orthodontic treatment, in addition to following the doctor's instructions, it is essential to carefully care for the braces on the teeth. Patients should avoid eating hard foods such as bones, crab, and nuts, as well as large pieces of food. For example, when eating apples, cut them into small pieces before eating. Avoiding these foods and cutting food into smaller pieces can prevent the brackets from loosening due to improper diet, ensuring the entire treatment process is completed smoothly.
In addition, special attention should be paid to oral care. The ideal way to care for your teeth is to brush after every meal. If brushing is not convenient after meals, rinse your mouth with water or tea. For children undergoing orthodontic treatment, in addition to the above precautions, they should reduce the intake of snacks and candies, especially chewing gum, as gum can stick to the braces and be difficult to remove. During a teenager's orthodontic treatment, parents should pay special attention to supervising their children to follow the doctor's instructions, such as regular check-ups, wire changes, and wearing rubber bands. Otherwise, the treatment process will be prolonged, and the desired results may not be achieved.
During orthodontic treatment, a very light force is used to gradually move the teeth, so it does not cause significant discomfort to the patient. However, in the first few days of wearing the aligners, patients may experience soreness and discomfort in their teeth. At this time, soft foods such as porridge or congee can be eaten. After about a week of adaptation, a normal diet can be resumed (but care should still be taken with the teeth and aligners).
