YOUR Braces

After your braces are fitted…

  • It may take a few days to get used to wearing your braces. Eating and talking may feel different at first. Your lips and cheeks may take a few days to adjust to having appliances on, and in this time you may find some rubbing or irritation occurs. This is best managed by smoothing orthodontic wax over any bothersome areas (this is provided to you in your welcome pack when your braces are fitted).
  • You may find your teeth are tender for the first few days after your appliances are fitted and also after each adjustment. You can take over the counter analgesics such as Nurofen or Panadol to manage any discomfort during this time.
  • Sticking to soft foods during the adjustment period is also helpful. Some examples include rice, pasta, scrambled egg, jelly and custard. See our soft foods eBook below for some great recipes.
  • If you find any food is caught around your braces, Pikster brushes can be helpful to remove this.
  • Your initial wire is a soft, flexible wire. It is extremely important you avoid playing with the wire to avoid any displacement or breakage.
  • If you have any breakages during treatment, contact our office as soon as the breakage occurs so we can arrange an appointment for repair.
