Post-Op Care for Your Braces

Post-Op Care for Your Braces – Dr. Nita Kalambe

Getting braces is an exciting step toward achieving a straight, confident smile. At Shree Dental Care & Implant Center, Dr. Nita Kalambe provides personalized orthodontic care with a focus on comfort, aesthetics, and long-term results.
To ensure your treatment progresses smoothly, it’s important to follow proper care instructions after your braces are placed or adjusted.

What to Expect After Getting Braces

  • Mild soreness or discomfort for 2–3 days

  • Slight difficulty in chewing initially

  • Increased saliva production at first

  • Minor irritation on lips or cheeks from brackets or wires

Post-Care Instructions

1. Managing Discomfort

  • Take prescribed pain relievers or over-the-counter medication if needed

  • Use orthodontic wax to cover brackets or wires that irritate your cheeks

2. Eating & Drinking

  • Stick to soft foods like curd, dal rice, upma, khichdi, and pasta for the first few days

  • Avoid sticky, hard, and crunchy foods (chewing gum, popcorn, nuts, ice cubes)

  • Limit sugary snacks to prevent cavities

3. Oral Hygiene

  • Brush gently with an orthodontic toothbrush or soft-bristled brush after every meal

  • Use interdental brushes or floss threaders to clean between brackets

  • Rinse with an antimicrobial mouthwash to reduce plaque buildup

4. Protecting Your Braces

  • Do not bite nails, chew pens, or open packets with your teeth

  • Wear a mouthguard while playing sports

5. Handling Emergencies

  • If a wire is poking, gently push it back with a cotton swab or cover with wax until you can see your dentist

  • If a bracket loosens, book an appointment immediately

Follow-Up Visits

Regular tightening and adjustment appointments are necessary for treatment progress. Missing these visits can delay results.
