It is also possible that wires could become bent or broken without proper care. Since it is best to achieve orthodontic treatment goals with as few disruptions as possible, a well-balanced diet is important to ensure a healthy environment for your teeth. Patients should avoid foods that are sticky, hard or chewy. They should also avoid any food and drinks that are known to cause cavities.
Patients should brush, floss and rinse their mouth regularly between meals. The foods below are known to cause breakage of orthodontic appliances and are examples of what NOT to eat:. The end product of braces is well worth the time and discipline.
Yet if proper brushing techniques are not executed, you can be left with discoloring on your teeth. Please ask out staff if you are unclear of proper brushing with braces techniques. Flossing with braces takes a few minutes to master, but the effort is well worth it. The first step to flossing is getting the floss under the wire that connects the braces together.
Once the floss is under the arch wire it can be wrapped around the tooth on one side. The floss is then pushed up toward the gum line and then pulled down toward the wire.
This should be repeated four to five times to ensure all plaque is removed. Be careful not to put too much pressure on the wire as you pull down. Then wrap the floss around the neighboring tooth. Once both teeth are done, the floss is pulled out and the process repeated for the next two teeth. Please ask our staff for further details.
If you see any signs of crooked teeth, gaps between the teeth or overlapping teeth, orthodontic treatment may be necessary. Bite all the way down, but keep your lips open so you can see the teeth. Do the front top teeth line up with the bottom? Do the top teeth protrude out away from the bottom teeth?
Are the top teeth behind the bottom teeth? All these are indicators for potential orthodontic treatment. Look at your jaw alignment. Does the jaw shift off center during biting down? If you see any misalignment or shifting of the jaw, it suggests a skeletal or jaw bone problem, which requires early orthodontic intervention. These are only some of the obvious symptoms of orthodontic problems. Phase II treatment involves use of full braces with a goal to finish the occlusion or bite ideally.
