Guide to removable appliances

  • Wear this brace AT ALL TIMES except when you clean your teeth or if you play a contact sport such as rugby.
  • It will take 3 days of perseverance in learning how to eat and speak. If you cannot wear it please let me know.
  • If one of the attachments breaks try to keep the appliance in your mouth until your next appointment otherwise the teeth will drift back to their old positions. Do not wear a broken appliance while eating.
  • Keep the appliance clean using a toothbrush after meals and when you clean your teeth.
  • Remember that you should continue to visit you own dentist for regular check-ups during your orthodontic treatment.
