Orthodontics, how to completely solve the cleaning problem

Chongqing corrective period must have 6 kinds of teeth cleaning tools:

1. Orthodontic wax.

This is too important, the nemesis of mouth ulcers, at the beginning, the braces complained about the arch wire and scraped the mouth, which is what was used!

2. Orthodontic toothbrush.

Because the edge of the orthodontic device is sharp, the damage to the bristles is great, and the bristles must be penetrated under the orthodontic line to remove food debris, so when choosing a toothbrush, you need to pay attention to the toughness, durability and elasticity of the bristles.

Generally, doctors will recommend the use of a special toothbrush for orthodontics, and friends who are not used to it can also reduce two rows of toothbrush bristles in the middle of their toothbrush, remember to cut it diagonally.

3. Interdental brush.

Interdental brushes come in a variety of sizes, from thin ones that can be passed between the teeth to clean the gaps between the teeth, and thick brushes that correct the dead spots between the teeth and the tooth surface. And the interdental brush is easy to carry and can also carry out the necessary cleaning between the teeth!

4. Floss. Remove the crumbs trapped between the teeth. It is more difficult to operate, and if you have a tight schedule during the day, at least floss thoroughly between your teeth before going to bed.

5. Mouthwash.

After brushing your teeth, you can rinse your mouth with mouthwash, and sterilize the parts that cannot be cleaned with a toothbrush to assist in tooth cleaning, but mouthwash cannot replace brushing.

6. Oral irrigator.

During the orthodontic period, every time you eat food, you must clean it simply, if you can, it is recommended to buy a dental irrigator, which is convenient and fast, and can flush out the food left in the teeth.

It is recommended to pay attention to brushing your teeth in the morning and evening, rinsing your mouth after meals, and avoid eating too spicy food, so as not to cause heat and tooth discomfort.

OK! Orthodontic people need to use professional nozzles and designated modes, and Midea water flosser also has a special mode for this group of people, which itself is 1400 times of pulse water column, and the enhancement mode is specially used for orthodontics, the water pressure can be as high as 140psi, with a special nozzle, between the teeth, wisdom teeth, braces and everything can be flushed clean.

When wearing braces, brush your teeth not only in the morning and evening, but also half an hour after each meal to ensure that there are no food debris. Oral irrigators can be said to be the gospel of braces, because food debris is easy to stuff between the gaps in the braces, and oral irrigators can thoroughly rinse these food debris and clean the mouth, so you can use a dental irrigator to wear braces.

Oral irrigator is a good oral cavity cleaning appliance, especially during orthodontic treatment, oral cleaning appliances such as oral irrigators are needed to protect oral health. Brushing teeth is the most common way to clean the mouth, but there are many dead spots in oral cleaning, and it cannot be cleaned by brushing alone, especially when wearing braces, food residues are more likely to remain, and the oral irrigator can clean these places well.

If you wear a fixed appliance (braces), food can easily get stuck in the brackets and wire gaps, and some dead spots cannot be cleaned, so we can use dental floss to rinse the food debris in the teeth.

The use of a dental irrigator to clean the teeth during the orthodontic period will not affect the orthodontic effect. However, attention should be paid to the use method, try not to be close to the dental tray, so as not to touch the orthodontic bracket and arch wire, ligation wire, resulting in falling off or arch wire displacement, and pay attention to the water pressure of the oral irrigator as much as possible not to be too large, so as to avoid pressure on the alveolar and uncomfortable mouth.

The water pressure should be comfortable enough to rinse food debris. After orthodontics, the main attention is not to bite hard objects or gnaw hard objects, such as bones, nuts, sugarcane, etc., the brackets are glued relatively firmly on the surface of the teeth, so the tooth irrigation is no problem, it should be noted that the oral irrigator cannot be used to rinse bone nails.

Of course, the oral irrigator only plays a role in assisting in cleaning the oral cavity, relying on pressurized water to spray on the surface of the tooth to rinse off the soft scale attached to it, and gargling also has an effect, but the effect of the oral irrigator is obviously more thorough, especially for people who wear appliances and the elderly with limited mobility, the oral irrigator can play a better cleaning role.

Yes, no problem, whoever uses it knows. It is equipped with a special nozzle, which is very suitable for people who are undergoing orthodontics.

Use a special orthodontic toothbrush, interdental brush, and dental floss to clean your teeth, and the effect will be very good.

"Floss leader", that is much more troublesome to use than when there are no brackets.

Interdental brushes, interdental brushes have a very small brush head that can reach between the wire and the tooth surface for cleaning, which is much better than brushing teeth with a simple ordinary toothbrush.

Brush your teeth carefully after each meal and don't leave residues such as rice residue in your teeth

1. First of all, choose the right toothbrush, you can choose a special orthodontic toothbrush and interdental brush.

2. Brush your teeth at least 3 times a day, preferably after each meal. Each brushing session should last more than 3 minutes, reaching each tooth surface.

3. Before cleaning the teeth, remove the rubber band and detachable part on the aligner.

4. Place the toothbrush at a 45-degree angle to the gums, use slight force, and clean the teeth in short bursts before and after, one by one, for about 10 seconds for each tooth.

5. For the surroundings of the aligners, especially under the archwire, the places where the teeth are not aligned and the places where the teeth are extracted, the device of the back teeth and the gingival margin, etc., which are difficult to brush with ordinary brushing methods, special attention should be paid to the key brushing.

6. You can choose to brush your teeth with an interdental brush. The brush head of the interdental brush is small enough to reach into the small areas around the brackets and under the archwires, and clean the areas that are difficult to reach with a regular toothbrush.
