How to Handle Your New Braces
Getting braces on for the first time can feel a little funny. It’s nothing unusual but getting your teeth set exactly right is just a new feeling. Don’t worry. If you’ve gotten those braces from Dr. Yakov Eisenberger, you just know your mouth is in good hands.
That said, there are some ways you can help your NY orthodontist to maintain your braces. The first few days you should take it easy. Eat slowly and try and choose foods that do not hurt to chew. As time goes on, you will quickly get used to your braces, but for some people the first few days can be a little uneasy. You can and should try to eat different things, but if something hurts just stop eating it. It’s that simple.
You should probably avoid sugary foods with your new braces. The sugar builds up underneath the braces and can leave stains on your teeth. Remember if you do indulge, as always, brush, use mouth wash and floss as soon as possible. Your smile will thank you for this well into adulthood.
Having braces is not a big lifestyle changer. After a few days you’ll hardly notice them at all and when they come off you’ll be the bell of the ball.
