5 Tips to Prevent "Braces from Falling Off"

      Braces falling off can be not only inconvenient and annoying for patients but also potentially dangerous in the mouth. Bent, twisted, or poking wires and brackets can cause discomfort and injury. What's worse is when braces come off entirely, which can lead to significant issues and discomfort. Today, we have 5 tips to help you prevent "braces from falling off."

• Avoid consuming overly hard foods such as bones and hard fruits. If you can't avoid them completely, try cutting them into small pieces to make them easier to chew.
• Avoid brushing your teeth too forcefully.
• Avoid activities that pose a risk of collision, such as playing sports or driving too fast.
• Avoid risky behaviors that result from habits, like using your tongue to push against the braces or using objects to poke at stuck food.
• Choose a reputable orthodontic clinic and avoid getting braces from unlicensed or unreliable sources.

      In cases where braces have actually come off, patients should seek immediate dental attention without waiting for their next appointment. Leaving loose or damaged braces in the mouth for an extended period can not only slow down the orthodontic progress but also pose risks and potential injuries in the oral cavity.
