Whether you’ve just begun your removable brace treatment journey, or you’re considering this convenient treatment option, here are some questions we’ve rounded up to guide you along the way.
Removable braces do not hurt. There could be some possible soreness 3 to 5 days after adjustments are made. This is normal as your teeth adjust to the new mould. You may take over-the-counter pain relievers to treat any mild discomfort.
Removable braces offer convenience and flexibility. Just take your removable brace off during meals, brushing and flossing as well as playing sport or musical instruments.
Although you can remove your brace during meals, it’s important to wear it for the recommended 22 hours per day to ensure best results and a faster treatment time.
Treatment can last anywhere from 6 to 12 months depending on the complexity of the case. It is always best to stick to your routine check-ups, whether remotely or at our practice, to ensure your treatment goes as planned.
We would be happy to help you with any questions on removable braces and their proper care. Feel free to contact our friendly team today at Aberdeen Orthodontics.
