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 aligners on your teeth. Avoid eating hard foods such as bones, crab, nuts, and other similar items. Also, avoid large pieces of food—for example, when eating apples, cut them into small pieces first. Avoiding these foods and cutting food into smaller pieces, can prevent the attachments of the aligners from loosening due to improper diet, ensuring the entire treatment process is completed smoothly.
In addition, special attention must be paid to oral hygiene. The ideal way to care for your teeth is, of course, to brush after every meal. If brushing is not convenient after meals, you can rinse your mouth with water or tea. For children undergoing orthodontic treatment, in addition to the above precautions, it is important to reduce the intake of snacks and candies, especially chewing gum, as gum can stick to the aligners and be difficult to remove. During adolescent orthodontic treatment, parents should pay special attention to supervising their children in following the doctor's instructions, such as regular check-ups, wire changes, and wearing rubber bands. Otherwise, the treatment period may be extended, and the desired orthodontic results may not be achieved.
During orthodontic treatment, very light traction forces are used to gradually move the teeth, so patients generally do not experience significant discomfort. However, in the first few days after wearing the aligners, you may feel some soreness and discomfort in your teeth. At this time, you can eat soft foods such as rice porridge or congee. After about a week of adaptation, you can resume a normal diet(while still paying attention to the care of your teeth and aligners).
