How to relieve the pain of orthodontic brackets?

 

Orthodontic brackets on your teeth are worth trying to have smooth teeth. Even with the discomfort you may experience, they may sometimes be disheartening and distressing. This discomfort that is most likely due to the body’s response to the pressure caused by the brackets on the teeth is different from your age, the amount of stress and whether you are a lady or a gentleman. There is no specific treatment to relieve the pain of orthodontic brackets, but there are treatments that can reduce the pain.

First method: Change your diet.

Eat the first few days of soft foods.

 

The most painful part of the orthodontic bracket occurs in the first 24 to 72 hours after inserting the brackets onto the teeth. In the first few days, use the soft-soft foods that do not need to be chewed to get used to the brackets on your teeth.
Foods like soup, mashed potatoes, grated apples are good choices.

Eat cold and frozen foods. Like ice cream

Ice cream with an anesthetic that gives the mouth relieves pain. You can also reduce the pain by sucking ice pieces. Put ice fragments in your mouth near the area where you feel most upset. Ice fragments help the numbness and numbness of the mouth and reduce the chance of any inflammation that may cause swelling. Many brackets have a heating effect, which means that eating hot foods causes warming and reaction of the brackets, resulting in pain and discomfort.

The other way is to use a special rubber belt to bite the child by freezing the rubber ring and putting it in your mouth.
This item will also be calming.

Do not drink ice or ice cubes. Rigid foods can damage the brackets and lead to reduced maintenance and adhesion of the brackets to the teeth.

You can also try ice cold water.

Avoid eating acidic foods and drinks.

For example, acidic foods or citrus drinks can exacerbate wounds or other discomforts of the mouth. Avoid these things to eliminate the possibility of further stimulation of your mouth.

Avoid rancid or sticky foods.

Avoid eating certain types of foods that break the brackets, resulting in discomfort and additional costs. Stiff foods such as chips, dried plums, nuts and tops can damage the brackets.
Avoid biting and chewing other rigid objects such as pencil, auto and ice cubes.

Method 2: Use oral treatments to relieve pain and discomfort

Use of over-the-counter pain relievers.

 

Pain relievers such as acetaminophen (tylenol) can eliminate some uncomfortable side-effects of brackets. Use acetaminophen or gelofen every 6 hours.
Follow the instructions to ensure proper dosage.

You can also take tylenol, ibuprofen or advenys instead. Although your orthodontist does not recommend ibuprofen for reducing dental movements.

Choose one if you need medication. Do not take both medications!

Use local anesthetic to eliminate pain.

 

There are many over-the-counter medications that can help eliminate the discomfort you experience. These are generally anesthetics, meaning that the painless area is anesthetized for several hours, and they are in the mouthpieces and gels.
Read the instructions carefully before using these products. Some people are allergic to these products, so you should follow the instructions before using it.

Rinse your mouth with brine.

 

Salt water relieves pain and discomfort in your mouth and cures any wounds that may be caused by the presence of braces inside your cheek and mouth. To make a salt solution, pour a teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water. Stir the salt in water to make a brine solution. Rotate and rinse some of this solution in your mouth for one minute.

Use salt water solution several times a day. Especially in the first few days and whenever you feel more painful than normal.

Use Orthodontic wax.

 

Orthodontic wax or dental waxes are used as an obstacle between the brackets and inside your mouth. Orthodontic wax is available at pharmacies or may be given to you by your orthodontist.

To use wax, remove a small piece of peanut size and make a small ball. Rounding the wax makes it warmer and makes it easier to use. Place a bracket using a paper towel and press the wax directly onto the wire or bracket. Repeat as needed.

Use your orthodontic orthodontic cushion (elastic) under your orthodontist cavity.

 

These orthodontic cuffs are attached to the brackets and their task is to align the jaw with the help of brackets. They can reduce the amount of time needed to smooth the teeth, so their use is definitely in your favor. Your orthodontist will probably recommend that you use the casts (orthodontic elastics) as much as possible (except for eating and brushing), and then again after brushing them.

These rubber crutches are often accompanied by discomfort in the first few days after the insertion of the brackets, but they are accustomed to frequent use and do not cause pain and discomfort. On the contrary, if you do not use them regularly, they cause more discomfort.
For example, if you use them for only a few hours a day or several times a week, you will be more distressed than when you use them permanently (full time).

Third method: change your brushing habits

Use toothpastes for sensitive teeth.

 

Most brands of toothpastes have toothpastes for sensitive teeth. These toothpastes contain a chemical called potassium nitrate, which protects the gum nerves by reducing the sensitivity of the teeth. Most of these toothpastes use an artificial form of potassium nitrate, although some of them use a natural form. Both types of potassium nitrate are suitable for use.

For proper use, follow the toothpaste instructions printed on the tube.

Use a soft toothbrush.

 

Toothbrush brushes vary from soft to rough. The brush of the toothbrush is softer, brushing bristles bristles briskly on your teeth and gums, and prevents the braces from breaking and pulling apart. So choose a brush that’s soft brush.

Brushing brilliantly.

 

 

If you get used to brushing tightly, this will be very difficult for you in the first few days after you put the brackets. Treat your teeth with mildness and gently brushing brush. Also, spend enough time to brush.

After each meal, use dental floss and toothbrush.

 

When you have brackets on your teeth, you should use brush and dental floss after each meal, even when you are out of the house. Without this careful care, your teeth will be exposed to rot, gum inflammation and other dental problems. During your treatment, and when you have brackets, your teeth need more care.

When you go outdoors, have a small packet containing a brush, a small toothpaste and a dental floss. So always be prepared to brush after eating.

Fourth Method: An appointment with an orthodontist

After bracketing, as long as you get used to brackets, you can experiment with checking the brackets to your orthodontist.
When the brackets are placed on your teeth, you will not feel a bit too painful. If you still have unbearable pain after several weeks, you may want to have a meeting with your orthodontist, so you can ask your questions.

Ask your orthodontist to loosen your brackets.

 

If you have unbearable pain, you can refer to your orthodontist and ask for a little relaxation of your braces. Having tight brackets does not necessarily mean that they will work better or your teeth are arranged faster.
Ask your orthodontist about tight or loose orthodontic wires.

Ask your orthodontist to cut the protruding wires from the ends of the brackets.

 

Sometimes a small piece of wire emerges from the ends of the brackets and it can be irritating inside the mouth and cause mouth ulcers.
Ask your orthodontist to screw the ends of the wires so you immediately feel comfortable.

Ask your orthodontist about strong prescription drugs or other treatments.

If over-the-counter medications do not work, your orthodontist may be able to give you a strong dose of ibuprofen.
Your orthodontist may also recommend other treatments, such as bite wafer, byte wafer, which you can use every day, so that you have to take it every hour for several minutes. Bite it. This bite helps to produce blood circulation in the gum, thus reducing the pain.

Ask your orthodontist about other strategies to reduce pain and discomfort.
Your orthodontist may have suggestions that help you to reduce your pain and discomfort. They treat various patients and know the different treatments that affect the patients. So be sure to consult your orthodontist about your discomfort.

Method 5: Preparing for the next appointment (setting the brackets)

Know your time accurately.
The time for the next appointment or the setting of the brackets depends on your orthodontist’s knowledge, but if you think it’s time for a day that does not have important times or other activities that need to focus and focus on something. Try to have an appointment at the end of the day to come and relax right after your appointment.

Save soft foods.
Your mouth will be susceptible again until one day after the brackets are set. You have to plan for a few days to eat soft foods such as pudding, mashed potatoes, soups and similar foods.

Eat a lodging before the appointment.
Eat an Acetaminophen Pill before your appointment until the appointment. That is why the pain and discomfort are immediately reduced. You can take the next 4 to 6 hours after the previous tablet to manage and relieve pain.

Talk with your orthodontist about your concerns.
Now it’s time to tell your orthodontist if you have problems with orthodontic brackets or have problems with headaches or mouth ulcers. There may be other solutions that can help solve this problem or problems.
