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.

  "The Long Road Back" by Dr. Neeta Kalambe It was a regular monsoon morning in Poladpur. The hill mist had just lifted, and I was sipping my tea, flipping through the day’s appointments. The clinic was already buzzing with patients and assistants preparing instruments. To me, it was another normal day in the life of a rural dentist. Among the many faces I had seen over the years, one belonged to a quiet, soft-spoken man who always came with his family. A humble man—he never talked much, but he was always there, steady and grateful. I had treated him a few times, simple procedures, nothing extraordinary.

Over time, like many others, his visits became a memory, tucked away in the background of busy clinic days. Months passed. Maybe a year.
