1. During clear aligner treatment, fixed appliances are bonded to the teeth with special materials. In the first two to five days after treatment begins, the teeth may feel sore due to the applied force. After each subsequent adjustment visit, patients may feel tightness or mild pain in the teeth, but it should be very slight. However, severe pain is not normal.

 

2. Patients should also pay attention to oral hygiene. Brush your teeth carefully and correctly every day. It is best to use a specialized orthodontic toothbrush. After every meal, remove soft food debris from the tooth surfaces.

 

3. Avoid overly sticky foods. During orthodontic treatment for teenagers, 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 period will be extended, and the desired results may not be achieved. Also, avoid overly sticky foods.

 

4. Rinse your mouth with water or tea after meals. Many pathogenic bacteria exist in the oral cavity. If teeth are not brushed thoroughly and food remains between teeth, bacteria will multiply, leading to cavities or periodontal inflammation, which can compromise the entire treatment. If brushing after meals is inconvenient, rinse with water or tea.

 

5. Since orthodontic appliances are bonded to the teeth with adhesive and apply force through the appliance to achieve ideal tooth movement, use a dedicated toothbrush with gentle, slow movements, spending3~5minutes each time. Therefore, patients undergoing orthodontic treatment must maintain good oral hygiene.

 

6. During orthodontic treatment, in addition to following the doctor's instructions, carefully care for the appliances on your teeth. Avoid eating large pieces of food to prevent the appliance attachments from loosening due to improper eating, ensuring the entire treatment process can be completed smoothly.

 

7. The outcome of treatment largely depends on the cooperation between the patient and the doctor. Patients should follow the doctor's advice, attend regular adjustment visits on time, and avoid being overly impatient.

 

8. When first wearing the aligners or after recent adjustments, some people may feel slight tooth pain. Generally, this condition2~4days will subside. If there is no improvement over a longer period, an adjustment visit is needed.
