Having orthodontic treatment in the UK is a great way to achieve a beautiful, straight smile. But once the treatment is complete, it's important to follow the instructions of your orthodontist and dentist to ensure that your new smile stays perfect. At 1A Orthodontics, we offer a range of aftercare options to help you maintain your new smile, including cosmetics and retainers. If you have a fixed orthodontic appliance, you should be able to eat a normal variety of foods a few days after it is put on.
However, it's important to avoid certain foods and beverages, such as candy, hard candies, and carbonated beverages, as they can damage your appliances and teeth. It's also important to brush your teeth after every meal. If you have a removable appliance, you should remove it to clean your teeth and then replace it immediately afterwards. Using fluoride mouthwash during treatment will also help keep your teeth healthy.
It's also important to take a toothbrush with you on the go so that you can brush your teeth after meals or snacks. This will help keep your teeth clean and healthy and ensure that your new smile stays perfect.
