This will keep it dent free and\nwill also prevent bacteria accumulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keep it clean!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is easy to keep this plastic-based brace\nclean; simply run it under a cold tap and remove any debris with a\nsoft-bristled toothbrush. Failing to keep the aligner clean may result in\nbacteria being pressed against your enamel, which could cause decay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Invest in a small toothbrush<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carry a small toothbrush with you so that after\nyou finish eating, you can give your teeth a quick brush before putting the\nbrace back in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And here are some tips on what not to do while\nwearing this invisible brace!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wear it while eating<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wearing this brace while eating may damage it,\nwhich will prevent it from working effectively. Always be sure to remove it\nbefore eating meals or drinking anything besides water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Clean it with hot water<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned before, this brace is made from\nplastic and, like other items made from this material, it can warp and bend if\nexposed to hot temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to avoid cleaning this brace with\nhot water. Avoid mouthwashes for cleaning this brace too, as they can cause\ndiscolouration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Eat sticky or hard foods<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hard and sticky foods will inevitably damage the\nbrace and, even if you remove the brace while eating sticky foods, it may lead\nto a film-forming on your teeth which will be hard to remove with your mini\nbrush. And as no-one wants cavities, it is best to avoid these types of\nconsumables altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Avoid check-ups<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though this brace comes with an app, it is\nimportant that you keep your check-ups with our team at <strong>Aura Dental<\/strong>, so we can assess if the brace is working correctly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you want to achieve straighter teeth as an adult, you will probably have spoken to at least one dental professional about adult braces.
