Without taking good care of your teeth, you cannot expect to be magically blessed with a beautiful, pearly white smile. So, here are a few things you must do after you get fitted with braces:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stick to a liquid diet up to 2-3 days after the placement of braces to reduce pressure on the teeth and gums that may already be hurting.<\/li>\n<li>Use a relief wax given by your orthodontist for the initial few days, if needed.<\/li>\n<li>Once your teeth start to feel normal, switch from fluids to foods. However, make sure that you do not consume any chewy and sticky foods. Chewy and sticky foods such as caramel, raisin, chewing gums, etc. may get stuck between brackets and below the wires. And if they stay inside your mouth for long, bacteria thrive on them, building plaque. Also, avoid hard foods that can damage the braces.<\/li>\n<li>Brush your teeth after every meal and floss between the teeth and under the wires at least once a day. Poor oral hygiene can lead to serious dental problems.<\/li>\n<li>Visit your orthodontist frequently to get your braces tightened.<\/li>\n<li>Go for professional teeth cleaning every 3 to 4 months.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"After_The_Braces_Are_Removed\"><\/span>After The Braces Are Removed<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>After the braces are removed, it is likely that your teeth would shift back into their original position.

Therefore, if your teeth were extremely crooked before the treatment, you will have to wear retainers for longer than six months. If you\u2019re lucky, your doctor can recommend retainers that only need to be worn for a few hours a day.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t put off your dream smile.
