Crunchy snacks such as almonds, pretzels, jawbreakers, 墨田区 部分矯正 and unshelled seeds may cause immediate damage
Always prepare firm produce in bite-sized portions to safeguard your orthodontic hardware
Sticky foods such as caramel, taffy, and chewing gum can get lodged in your wires and pull brackets loose
Biting pens, chewing on keys, or picking at your nails can unintentionally warp your wires or loosen brackets
Find a safe outlet like squeezing a rubber ball or using a dental-approved chewable pendant
Minimize front tooth use to reduce the risk of accidental snags and appliance damage
Standard mouthguards are inadequate and risky—only a braces-compatible model offers proper coverage

At home, maintain good oral hygiene by brushing after every meal and using an interdental brush or floss threader to clean between wires and brackets

Call your orthodontist right away to schedule an appointment
Leave corrections to trained specialists who have the right tools and expertise
Lastly, attend all your scheduled check ups
