1.Awareness of braces
Each appliance has its own serial number, and I don't have to make sure that the current pair of braces is the one I need before wearing them. As shown in Fig
(upper represents the upper braces, 1 represents the first braces, and 53 represents the number of steps of the aligners.) ）
In fact, each appliance is also marked (that is, when you mix two appliances together, you can distinguish the appliance by the serial number on the aligner).
Wear time
Each pair of appliances should be worn for 20-22 hours a day, and a new pair of appliances should be replaced every 7-14 days.
Diet
Braces are removed when eating and brushing and thoroughly cleaned inside and out using a toothbrushHowever, it is also possible to wear appliances on special occasions, but pay attention to the following points:1Do not drink foods with coloring (e.g. curry, espresso juice, espresso coffee, etc.)2Try not to chew too hard, viscous food3Do not drink or chew excessively hot drinks or foods
Cleanup
Make it a habit to wear appliances after eating, drinking, and cleaning your teeth. Keep brushing your teeth every morning and evening and after three meals, choose a high-quality soft-bristled toothbrush, and use tools such as dental floss, oral irrigator and gap brush.
The cleaning of the appliance can be rinsed under running water (but the temperature should not exceed 60°, the temperature is too high can deform the aligner), and if there is too much residual food, you can use a soft-bristled toothbrush to brush gently to avoid scratches on the appliance with a hard toothbrush and cause bacteria to grow. The best way to clean up is to use a professional appliance effervescent tabletSoak it
Safekeeping
More than 90% of braces are lost when eating, wrapping the braces in a napkin and throwing them away.
So please carry the box with you and put it in the box after each removal of the **appliance in case it is lost. In case of loss, damage, or other accidents, be sure to contact your doctor or clinic.
And after each pair of ** appliances is worn, please put it back in the original bag according to the serial number, and please keep it. Just in case. Sometimes, the braces are lost or damaged, or the movement is not ideal, and it may be necessary to replace the previous pair of braces.
Chewing gum
Bite the gum every time you put on the ** appliance and bite it with the gum to ensure that the braces are fully in place. Please note that biting gum is not serious is the most common problem, and many students will confidently say: I don't think you need to bite carefully and don't bite gum, and the braces fit well, in fact, it is purely self-feeling.
Here's how:
Method 1: Put the bite stick in one position, bite tightly, continue for a few seconds, and open; Repeat the operation next to it.
Method 2: Put the bite stick in one position, bite quickly and open it in the same position many times; Repeat the operation next to it. Bite to all occlusal positions in turn, with partial overlap between two adjacent bites.
Basically, use it once a day, for 10-20 minutes each time, about 200 times
Friendly reminder: Every time you replace a new aligner, you may feel the feeling of tightness on your teeth, and the feeling will usually decrease or disappear in 1-3 days.
