Teeth misalignment is probably not something you want to deal with. Thankfully, braces in Pompano Beach can help solve the problem. Although the procedure is simple, the major adjustments take place the moment you’re out of the office.
We won’t lie. The wires and brackets will cause some discomfort as a result of the pressure exerted on your teeth. The adjustment period may seem annoying, but if you know what to do and what to avoid, you’ll get used to your braces in no time.
Do your braces make your mouth hurt? The hardware itself only causes mild discomfort, but over time, your mouth will begin to acclimatize to the feel of the brackets and wires.
As mentioned, there will be slight pain as your teeth start to move in the direction planned by your orthodontist – especially after an adjustment. This gentle pressure is necessary to align your teeth. You can ease the discomfort by taking over-the-counter painkillers.
It would be wise to stick to soft foods. You may indulge in fruit smoothies, cold soups, yogurt, pudding, mashed potatoes, and ice cream.
As soon as you’ve adjusted to your braces, you can go back to eating some of your favorite foods, but we still advise you to avoid chewy, sticky, and hard foods like nuts, bagels, popcorn, hard candies, and toffee. These can cause your brackets to loosen and your wires to bend.
