Cleaning teeth with brackets
During the fixed treatment, cleaning the teeth is very difficult. Our staff will be happy to show you how to clean properly.
Bracket loose
Call now and make an SOS appointment! On a weekend, you can carefully try to open the bracket and remove it from the arch. Make sure to bring the bracket with you at the agreed time!
Bow interferes with or pokes
Now the wax is used, which every patient takes home from us. This can be used to try to protect the wire and if that doesn’t work, please make an SOS appointment immediately!
Toothache
Teeth move during active treatment, so it is normal for them to be somewhat sensitive. But after about a week it should be better again.
Wearing time of the brace
So that the braces can work and the jaw, teeth, and muscles can get used to the new situation, braces should be in the mouth for 14-16 hours a day. Especially with the FKO devices, wearing time is much more effective during the day than at night!
Broken clasp
If something breaks, you should call the clinic as soon as possible and make an appointment. We will repair the brace again!
