SELF-HELP FOR removable appliances

If the apparatus was newly used, pain / pressure marks can appear temporarily. These normally disappear after some days. If no improvement enters even after 3-4 days, please make an appointment with us. Gingivitis / bleeding have their cause mostly in insufficient oral and dental care. Maintain the teeth, including gums, after every meal according to recommendations (dental cleaning several times a day and oral rinses).

Please, agree on a new appointment with us - mostly a new, topical impression must be taken for the repair.
 

Please, agree on a new appointment in our practise to order the production of new braces.  

This can have different causes – please agree on a short-term appointment!

Put back the screw and carry the braces as usual. Should the braces do not fit afterwards please agree on an appointment in our practise.

SELF-HELP FOR stuck braces (MULTIBOUND)

Bracket oder Band hat sich gelöst

Nach einem Bogenwechsel sind die Zähne häufig viel empfindlicher als sonst - man soll sich erst einmal an die leichte Bewegung der Zähne gewöhnen. Wenn Sie einen Druckschmerz ( bes. nach dem Essen) spüren, sollen Sie bitte in den nächsten Tagen lieber weiche Nahrung zu sich nehmen, dann werden die Beschwerden immer mehr abnehmen. Bei Bedarf kann Ihnen ein leichtes Schmerzmittel helfen.

After a curve change the teeth are often much more sensitive than otherwise - one should get used of all to the light movement of the teeth first.
If you feel pressure pain (esp. after food), you should take rather softy food to yourselves during the next days, then the discomfort will decrease more and more. When required a light painkiller can help.

If a Bracket or ring (metal ring) has completely freed itself and still hangs on the curve, please leave everything as it is and agree on an appointment with us for the reconnection!
If a Bracket or tape (metal ring) has completely freed itself this part should be removed carefully. Please keep it and bring it to the next appointment. Agree on an appointment with us for the reconnection!
After a curve change the teeth are often much more sensitive than, otherwise - one has to get used first to the light movement of the teeth.

If the curve has freed itself, please try to put these again in the Bracket or ring. You can use, e.g., a tweezer. If you feel a disagreeable friction afterwards, cover the suitable place temporarily with the protective wax given by us. Please, do not try to trim the wire with tongs or other devices. Agree on an appointment quickly, so that we can fasten the curve expertly again.
Should a hook for hanging up of elastics in the Bracket have freed itself or have you lost elastics or an elastic chain please agree on an appointment in our practise, so we can repair this.

Should the connection have freed itself between tooth and Retainer, this must be fastened again as quickly as possible. If this does not happen immediately, dental movements may occur; then a new Retainer or if necessary even a new multi ring treatment could be necessary what is connected with additional costs.
In this case please immediately agree on an appointment in practice.

If this tips for „first help“did not help you please agree, as fast as possible, on an appointment in our practise!
