First Aid for Braces
Problems with your braces?
What to do in case of pain or problems with the (invisible) braces ?
If you have just had your fixed or invisible braces fitted, you may experience temporary pain. The teeth first have to get used to the gentle movement. Especially when chewing hard foods, you will then feel the tension, which can manifest itself as sensitivity to biting down.
The time needed for the patient to get used to the new braces varies from person to person. It is about 1 to 2 weeks.
If necessary, you can use a painkiller after consulting the doctor. (Otherwise, please follow the manufacturer's dosage instructions).
