Caring for teeth after removing braces

You should take the time to properly care for your dental health, and let us learn about some medical tips that should be followed for caring for teeth after removing braces.

  1. Avoid storing the used appliance: After removing the braces, your dentist will give you your device to maintain the new condition of your teeth, and they will usually try to fit the device in your mouth, so you must keep it. To avoid losing the device, it is advisable to place it in a clear and easily accessible case, in addition to using the free storage case that may have been provided to you.
  1. Avoid difficult foods: The feeling of freedom after removing the braces may be exciting, but it is essential to stay away from eating difficult and sticky foods, as they can damage your professional teeth and lips. Soft, crunchy, caramel, pasta, and pieces of solid meat should be avoided.
  1. Use a soft toothbrush: Use a soft toothbrush to gently remove plaque from the teeth and gums. This brush is specifically designed for continued use after removing braces. It cleans better if it is not pulled too much on the teeth and gums.
  1. Maintain oral hygiene: The mouth should be carefully cleaned after removing braces using antibacterial agents, brushing, and regularly brushing the teeth. Multidirectional cleaning should be carried out across the teeth and gums, with the brush moving gradually. The minimum amount of force should be applied when applying to the gums.
  1. Consult your dentist: If you notice any unusual symptoms after removing the braces, please contact your dentist as soon as possible. Your dentist will assess your condition and give you appropriate recommendations for caring for your new smiling teeth.

Can braces be removed at any time?

Yes, braces can be removed at any time, but this should be done according to the recommendations of the treating doctor. The treating doctor should be consulted if the patient is experiencing any problem or if they wish to remove the braces.

A detailed and clear explanation should be provided to the patient regarding what needs to be done after removing the braces and how the teeth can be maintained and their condition preserved. It may require using a clear, removable retainer after removing the fixed braces to help the teeth stay in their new position and assist in hardening the bone around them.

Braces also depend on the patient’s dental condition, gum condition, and the degree of movement required for the teeth. It should be noted that any failure to maintain oral hygiene can lead to cavities, tooth decay, and gum infections, which increases the risk of permanent tooth loss and makes future treatment difficult.

How much does it cost to remove braces?

The cost of removing braces with gum cleaning typically ranges from 1000 to 2000 Egyptian pounds for a single jaw, and this, of course, varies depending on many other basic factors.

Patients should be cautious when removing braces to avoid damaging the teeth or causing any other harm to the mouth, and to avoid complications that may occur when removing the appliance under the braces or during gum cleaning.

It is strongly recommended to visit an orthodontist specialized in removing braces and inquire about the potential cost and procedures that should be followed to maintain the teeth and mouth after removal. Modern technology, such as X-rays and dental scanners, can provide a scientific and effective method for removing braces and cleaning gums while ensuring quality and accuracy in diagnosis and treatment.

When do teeth start to move after removing braces?

Teeth start to move in a noticeable and visible motion after about two months from the date of installing the braces, and this period may vary according to the condition of each patient’s teeth. It takes the teeth several years to stabilize in their new position, so patients must commit to wearing a removable retainer until the teeth are stabilized in their new position.

It is also recommended to consult the specialist doctor and seek their advice in critical situations, especially if there are significant changes in the positions of the teeth after removing the braces. The removable retainer should be tried every month after the second year from the date of removing the braces, to ensure that the teeth do not move in any direction, as the retainer should be able to be put on and removed easily.

If the patient notices any movement in their teeth, they should consult their dentist to identify the cause and take the necessary measures to treat the problem.
