Our assistants will instruct you how to brush your teeth with the braces on your teeth.
The assistant will also teach you how to use the special device for cleaning. Since the child's hand muscles are not fully developed, one may consider using an electric toothbrush. Using an electric toothbrush can reduce the occurrence of periodontal disease and tooth decay.
The tooth moving progress may cause some degrees of pain. That kind of discomfort is normal and generally does not requires any pain killers. during this period of time, consider eating soft food like pasta or dumplings.
During the beginning of orthodontic treatment, due to the thickness of the bracket, it may cause some discomfort to oral mucosa.

We provide soft wax to cover the brackets, it will reduce the stimulation to your mucosa.
