Hygiene

ORAL HYGIENE

Food particles and plaque naturally accumulate on the teeth and on braces. This process could lead to tooth decay and/or gum disease. Proper oral hygiene is vital to prevent these problems from occurring during your orthodontic treatment. The extra effort you give to keep your teeth, braces and gums clean and healthy will result in a much better orthodontic outcome.

BRUSHING

Dr. Smith recommends that you use a soft bristled toothbrush with moderate force and a toothpaste that contains fluoride. Place the toothbrush at an angle so that you feel the bristles under your gum line and use small circular motions. Completely clean each surface of every tooth in your mouth, including the areas above, below and between each brace. Each surface of every tooth should be scrubbed with 10 strokes of the toothbrush. This should take 2-3 minutes.

Dr. Smith recommends that you brush at least 4 times per day: after breakfast, after lunch (or as soon as you get home from school), after supper and at bedtime. Your toothbrush will wear out faster because of your appliances, so be sure to replace it whenever the bristles start to fray.

Brushing Station
Back To Top
1. Use a soft toothbrush with a small amount of toothpaste. Completely clean each surface of every tooth in your mouth, including the areas above, below and between each brace.
2. Use circular, vibrating motions around the gum line. Scrub each surface of every tooth with 10 strokes of the toothbrush. This should take 2-3 minutes.
3. Brush every tooth slowly. Brush the upper teeth down.
4. Brush the lower teeth up. Also brush your tongue and the roof of your mouth

Remember that a toothbrush might not reach the areas under the archwire properly. Proper oral hygiene also involves flossing and the use of an interdental toothbrush (Proxabrush), an antiseptic mouth rinse (Peroxyl) and a topical fluoride (Phos-Flur)!

FLOSSING

Dental floss is a nylon thread that is used to remove food particles and plaque from between the teeth. Flossing is more difficult when you have braces on your teeth. A floss threader may be needed to get the floss under the archwire. Dr. Smith will provide these for you (note: floss threaders are reusable). Use a piece of floss about 12 inches long. Use the floss threader to get the floss under the wire. Slide the floss up and down along the tooth surface. When the tooth is clean the floss will "squeak" as you slide it up and down along the tooth surface. Be very careful to not pull with too much force on your archwire.

Flossing is important and should be done every day. The best time to floss is before bedtime after brushing to remove the plaque missed by brushing. This process will take more time than flossing without braces. If your gums are not healthy, they may bleed the first few days you floss. Remember that consistent brushing and flossing will result in a great orthodontic smile!

1. Carefully pull waxed floss between wire and braces.

2. Floss carefully around the gum area.

 

INTERDENTAL TOOTHBRUSH

An interdental toothbrush (Proxabrush) is another aid you may find useful to keep your teeth, braces and gums clean and healthy. It can be used to clean under orthodontic wires and around braces. Use this device slowly so you do not damage your braces.

ANTISEPTIC MOUTH RINSE (PEROXYL)

Peroxyl is an antiseptic dental rinse (active ingredient: hydrogen peroxide 1.5%) used in orthodontics to control minor gum inflammation and irritations from orthodontic appliances. It is also used to cleanse canker sores and minor wounds or other irritations of the mouth and gums such as mouth burns, cheek bites and toothbrush abrasions. Its oxygenating action removes debris allowing natural healing to occur.

Dr. Smith recommends that you rinse with half a capful (two (2) teaspoons) around in the mouth for at least one (1) minute, then spit out. Use up to four (4) times daily after meals and at bedtime while wearing orthodontic appliances.
Back to Top

TOPICAL FLUORIDE (PHOS-FLUR)

Phos-Flur is a topical fluoride gel (active ingredient: 1.1% sodium fluoride) used in orthodontics as a dental caries preventive. It is not a substitute for tooth paste. Its action is twofold: to re-mineralize tooth enamel which has been exposed to bacterial acids and to act as an antibacterial agent.

Dr. Smith recommends that you apply a thin ribbon of Phos-Flur Gel to the teeth with a toothbrush for at least one (1) minute at bedtime, then spit out. Drinking and eating are not recommended for thirty (30) minutes after using Phos-Flur, since doing so will dilute or rinse away the active ingredient.
Back to Top

CLEANING A REMOVABLE APPLIANCE

All orthodontic appliances tend to accumulate food particles and plaque just like teeth do. Every time you brush your teeth, brush your removable appliance. Once a day you should soak your appliance in a glass of room temperature tap water with a denture-cleaning tablet, such as Polident or Efferdent. This will help prevent plaque buildup and oral infections and will keep your appliance tasting better.

Diet


EATING HABITS

For most situations, common sense will tell you what to avoid. Hard foods, sticky foods and foods high in sugar must be avoided. Hard foods can break or damage wires and brackets. Sticky foods can get caught between brackets and wires. Minimize sugary foods; they cause tooth decay and related problems. Nail biting, pencil and pen chewing, and chewing on foreign objects should be avoided. .

Absolutely No:
Sticky Foods (sugarless or otherwise):
Jelly Beans   Gum
  Caramels
  Sugar Daddies
  Starbursts
  Caramel Apples
  Sugar Babies
  Licorice
  Toffee
  Tootsie Rolls
  etc.
Hard Foods:
Pretzel   Jolly Ranchers
  Jaw Breakers
  Lolli-pops
  Nuts
  Bagels
  Apples (unless cut up)
  Pizza Crusts
  Carrots (uncooked, unless cut up)
  Doritos
  Pretzels
  etc.
To Minimize Sugar Intake:
Eat Less:
Pretzel   Candy
  Ice Cream
  Cake
  Cookies
  Pie
Drink Less:
Soda   Soda
  Drinks with sugar

Check your braces occasionally for anything loose or bent. If a brace comes loose or you break a wire, please call our office so that we can arrange an appointment long enough to repair it. Be as specific as possible with the receptionist. If you lose your rubber bands, call us so we can mail you some more or drop by the office and pick some up.

BRUSHING


You will notice that it is much harder to keep your teeth clean with braces. Food collects around the braces and between your teeth, and can only be removed by brushing and flossing. If plaque remains on the teeth for any length of time, it will leave a permanent white scar on the tooth surface. Brushing after meals should become part of your daily schedule.
Click here for brushing and flossing instructions.

SORE TEETH


After braces are placed in the mouth it is normal for the teeth to be sore for about 1 to 3 days. Tylenol or Advil will help relieve this discomfort. Some irritation to the cheeks and/or lips is normal, but if you feel anything sharp poking you or any sores developing, please call our office at 401-739-3900.

Managing Discomfort


EMERGENCIES:

It is Dr. Smith's desire that you never have an orthodontic emergency and, in reality, orthodontic emergencies are relatively rare. However, in the event that something does occur where you need emergency care our office is on call 24 hours per day, every day of the year. Please call the office if an emergency occurs during office hours @ 739-3900. If an emergency occurs after business hours, please call the office @ 739-3900 and our answering service will direct you to a telephone number where we can be reached.

PAIN IN THE TEETH

Sore teeth during orthodontic treatment is normal and results from the forces placed on the teeth to move them. You or your child are most likely to experience sore teeth for 1 to 3 days after the braces are first placed and occasionally after a routine orthodontic visit. An anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen (e.g., Advil, Motrin) is very good at reducing the soreness. Also, avoid hard or chewy foods while your teeth are sore. If you experience intense pain or if the soreness persists longer than you think is normal, please call Dr. Smith.
Back to Top

PAIN

IN THE GUMS


Pain in the gums during orthodontic treatment is not normal. One possible cause is food trapped under a brace or beneath the gum line. Rinse your mouth several times per day with warm salt water and/or a mouthwash, such as Peroxyl. Brush your teeth and gums with a soft toothbrush and use dental floss and/or an interdental toothbrush (Proxabrush) to dislodge the food. If you experience severe pain or if the pain lasts longer than a few days, please call Dr. Smith.

Back to Top

TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT

(TMJ) PAIN

Pops, clicks and discomfort are sometimes felt in the TMJ(s) ("jaw joint(s)") while undergoing orthodontic treatment. These symptoms are usually transient because the teeth and jaw structures are moving into better alignment as orthodontic treatment progresses. Please note, if the pain in the TMJ(s) is persistent or severe, call Dr. Smith. You or your child may need to be seen for an extra visit.
Back to Top

SORE PLACES IN THE CHEEKS
Braces and some other orthodontic appliances can sometimes irritate the inside of the cheek, especially during the first few days following the placement of braces. A sore spot may develop due to the orthodontic brackets or wires. To help the sore spot heal, place wax on the part of the brace adjacent to the sore spot. Please refer to the topic "Wax" in the Emergencies section for complete instructions on the use of wax. If the wax does not help or if the sore spot seems to get worse, please call Dr. Smith.
Back to Top

SORE PLACES ON THE LIPS
During the first week of wearing your braces, your lips may be irritated from the brackets on your front teeth. If a sore spot develops on your lip, cover the part of your brace adjacent to the sore spot with wax and lubricate your lips with Vaseline or Chap Stick. Please refer to the topic "Wax" in the Emergencies section for complete instructions on the use of wax. If these steps do not help or if the sore spot seems to get worse, please call Dr. Smith.
Back to Top

SORE PLACES ON THE TONGUE
Some of your orthodontic appliances may have parts that are on the surfaces of your teeth toward the tongue. This is called the lingual surface. These parts may irritate the tongue for several days as you get used to your braces. To help the sore spot heal and to let your tongue get used to your braces, place wax on the the brace that is causing the sore spot. Please refer to the topic "Wax" in the Emergencies section for complete instructions on the use of wax. If the wax does not seem to help or if the sore spot gets worse, please call Dr. Smith.

Back to Top

LOOSE BRACE OR BONDED APPLIANCE (E.G., PALATAL EXPANDER)
In most cases, a loose brace will remain attached to the archwire and is not cause for an emergency visit. Sometimes the brace may move or slide back and forth on the archwire. Tweezers can be used to reposition the brace if it flips around the wire. If tissue irritation occurs, cover the loose brace with orthodontic wax to help the sore area heal. Please refer to the topic "Wax" in the Emergencies section for complete instructions on the use of wax. Note: loose braces cannot support the use of elastics. If a bonded appliance (e.g., a palatal expander) comes loose, it can cause irritation and soreness in the soft tissues.A loose orthodontic appliance will not move the teeth to their proper positions. This can result in a delay in treatment progress. Do not try to fix these problems yourself. It is important to call Dr. Smith to inquire about scheduling an appointment to repair the loose appliance.
Back to Top

LOOSE OR IRRITATING WIRE
If the main wire has come out of the brace or tube on a back molar tooth, attempt to reinsert the wire with a pair of needle nosed pliers or tweezers. If the wire is not sticking you, place a piece of wax over the area. If the wire is sticking you and wax does not help, the wire can be cut with a small wire cutter or nail clipper close to the back of the last brace. This is a last resort until you can see us for an adjustment

.An archwire that is not attached to a brace will not be moving the tooth as it is supposed to. This can result in a delay in treatment progress.A loose archwire needs to be repaired.

If a wire causes irritation, push the wire away from the area using the eraser end of a pencil or a cotton swab. If the wire cannot be tucked away, cover the end of the wire with a small piece of wax, a cotton ball, or a piece of sugarless gum, until you can see us for an adjustment.Please call Dr. Smith to schedule an earlier appointment.
Back to Top

LOOSE OR BROKEN RETAINERS OR REMOVEABLE DEVICES
The metal or plastic parts of retainers or removable appliances may break or get bent. This can cause them to function improperly. In these situations, it may be necessary to stop wearing the appliance. Call Dr. Smith. It may be necessary to schedule an earlier appointment to adjust or repair the appliance.
Back to Top

SWALLOWED PARTS
If you swallow part of your orthodontic appliance, such as a brace or rubber band, it will pass through your system and be harmless, unless you experience difficulty breathing. If you experience difficulty breathing, seek immediate medical help. Get to the nearest medical facility, whether it is Dr. Smith's office or an emergency room.
Back to Top

WAX
Orthodontic wax is used to cover loose or broken parts of your braces, hooks, newly placed braces, and other orthodontic appliances that may cause soft tissue irritation or sore spots. To use your wax, take a small piece about the size of a pea. Shape it into a ball with your fingers and apply the wax directly to the part of the braces causing the sore spot. Press it around the part and smooth it with your fingers. Please continue to brush even while using wax. Wax is harmless and can be applied to your braces as often as is needed. If you swallow wax it will not harm you!

NOTE: If you happen to run out of wax, sugar free gum can serve as a good alternative.
Back to Top

SWOLLEN GUMS
It is very important to keep your teeth and gums healthy during orthodontic treatment. Poor oral hygiene may result in swollen and bleeding gum tissue. Gentle and thorough brushing, rinsing with warm salt water and mouthwash (e.g., Peroxyl) will help return the gums to a healthy state. Also, use dental floss to remove any food or debris that may have become trapped under the gum line. Orthodontic tooth movement may also cause swollen gums. If the steps above do not help the situation, please call Dr. Smith.
Back to Top

UNUSUAL MOVEMENT IN YOUR MOUTH
Your braces are designed to move your teeth in all 3 dimensions. Occasionally a tooth may appear to be moving in the wrong direction. Dr. Smith would advise you to be patient for a few days. Usually this happens at the beginning of treatment. However, undesired tooth movement can occur when part of your braces are broken or damaged. If you think this is the case, please call Dr. Smith. It may be necessary to schedule an earlier appointment to adjust or repair the appliance.
Back to Top

ALLERGIES
Allergic reactions during orthodontic treatment are very uncommon, but they can occur. Some patients may be allergic to the metal in some appliances or to the latex gloves worn by Dr. Smith and his staff. If unusual or unexplained symptoms such as swelling or redness in your mouth, or a skin rash appear, please call Dr. Smith for advice.
