What should I avoid eating with my braces?

    • Avoid sticky and hard foods: chewing gum, caramel, gummies, candy, nuts, popcorn kernels, granola bars, etc.
    • Do not bite into an apple or carrot, but rather cut them into small pieces.
  • Aligners
    • Do not drink sugary or hot drinks with the aligners in your mouth, only water.
    • Before putting the aligners back in your mouth, ideally brush your teeth and the aligners or at least rinse your mouth after each meal.

    • Avoid sticky foods, such as chewing gum, caramel, gummies, etc.

    • Do not eat with your removable appliances in your mouth.
How to keep your appliances clean?

  • Use adjuvants, such as Proxabrush®, Orthopick Plackers® or Waterpik®.
  • Brush aligners and removable appliances after each use.
What is the frequency of appointments?
  • Generally, we schedule follow-up appointments every 6 to 8 weeks to change the orthodontic wires or provide you with more aligners to ensure that the treatment is progressing well and as planned.
