A new year is usually time for lifestyle changes and new diets that people often tend not to stick to. However, orthodontic treatment is more permanent and comes with visible results. Find out the methods available that are proven to straighten your teeth.
Generally, the gingivae (gums) swell during orthodontic treatment because of insufficient cleaning. There maybe a medical reason why they are swelling too so it is always a good idea to seek professional opinion and advice from your Orthodontic practitioner.
If you have had fixed appliances fitted whether it be on the front of your teeth or behind your teeth then you will have been given wear and care instructions on the day they were fitted.
At this point we always advise to check your appliances daily to ensure nothing has come off and any additional items we may have added to the appliance are intact. Breakages can occur for a variety of reasons but the most common reason is that the patient has bitten into something they shouldn’t have.
