Who is not suitable for wearing invisible braces? What should you pay attention to when wearing invisible braces?

Invisible braces are the choice of many people nowadays. Invisible braces look much more beautiful than traditional braces, but some people are not suitable for wearing invisible braces. Let’s take a look at who is not suitable for wearing invisible braces.

1. Patients who want to change their facial shape by wearing braces

Nowadays, many patients want to change their face shape by wearing braces to slightly shift their teeth. Patients with this need are not suitable for wearing braces. Because the main purpose of braces is to reshape teeth, repair tooth loss, crowding, and unevenness, and achieve the best health of patients' teeth.

2. Patients with gum problems

Before wearing braces, the doctor will conduct a comprehensive oral examination, including the gums, tooth roots, tooth surfaces, damaged parts of the teeth, etc., and only after the teeth that need treatment are treated, will the braces be worn. Then, minor gum problems can be improved through treatment, but if the gums are severely atrophied and the teeth are loose, wearing braces will not achieve the purpose of correction.

3. Patients with protruding alveolar bone and jaw deformity

The process of wearing braces can only correct uneven teeth and misaligned teeth to a small extent. If the patient has facial alveolar bone protrusion and jaw deformity, wearing braces cannot achieve the desired effect. It is also possible that wearing braces will cause root damage or loose teeth. Such patients need to be treated with dental surgical orthodontic surgery.

1. Please clean your hands before taking off or putting on the braces.

2. Do not bite down on the appliance to keep it in place - this may damage the appliance. If there are some areas that do not fit well, you can bite the chewing gum to help it stay in place, and develop the habit of "massaging" the attachments of the appliance to make it fit better.

3. It is normal to feel tightening or pressure on your teeth when you first wear a new brace. The force will weaken as you wear it for a longer time.

4. If you feel pain or discomfort, please contact your doctor immediately.

Although invisible braces can be put on and taken off by patients, patients still need to ensure that they wear them for a sufficient period of time to avoid affecting the progress of the entire treatment and the correction effect. The normal wearing time for invisible braces is 20-22 hours, and a retainer is generally replaced every 2 weeks.

Avoid chewing hard foods, such as spareribs, chicken legs, beef jerky, and snacks with cores and shells. Avoid chewing sticky foods, and try not to drink strong tea, coffee, curry, and other foods and drinks that may discolor your braces. Drink less carbonated drinks and high-sugar drinks to avoid tooth decay and pigmentation.
