Hi. I hate dental floss. Can I use something else instead? In your opinion, isn’t interdental toothbrush more effective?

Can I do sports during treatment with orthodontics?
Yes, there isn’t any problem with doing sports while in treatment. Just the sports, in which there is a chance of getting hurt in the face, should be avoided as much as possible or a mouth protector should be used. If the patient is using removable braces, he should take out the orthodontic appliance before sports.

Dr. Hadi Darvishpour :
The adhesion strength of braces weakens when they fall off for the first time. Though, you should share the problem with your own doctor.

I’m in my tenth month of upper jaw orthodontic treatment, without extracting any tooth. My teeth have become slightly inclined towards the front. Is this normal or is the treatment process wrong? And is there a way to pull them back?

Dr. Hadi Darvishpour :
In orthodontic treatment, the teeth will normally be slightly pulled towards the front in order to make it possible for them to get fixed. If your orthodontist approves, there are solutions to fix teeth inclination.

I’m 15 years old. It’s been two days since I have started orthodontics, and my doctor has scheduled the wiring of the lower jaw for October. All my upper teeth are in so much pain that I can’t eat anything but liquids. Will the pain continue? My doctor didn’t give me any orthodontics wax and none of my neighborhood drugstores has it. Will I get used to the appliance? Now, I really regret it! And is it possible to not wire the lower teeth? I mean wire just one jaw? Thanks.

Dr. Hadi Darvishpour :
Usually, it’s common to experience pain and some discomfort in the first four days after the Fixed Braces Orthodontics are placed. Also, to begin the orthodontics with just one jaw is a good practice; otherwise, you would be in more pain. There is no need to worry. You’ll get used to the orthodontic appliance after approximately 4 days.

I have ceramic orthodontics on my both jaws. The lower jaw braces were placed yesterday. Today, I realized that the brace on my big wisdom tooth has become loose. It’s not broken and is in place, but when I play a little with it, it wiggles up and down. My doctor is in office only on Mondays and the next Monday is a holiday. In your opinion, should I visit a doctor immediately? How can I prevent the brace to get looser till I get to visit a doctor?

Dr. Hadi Darvishpour :
Don’t worry. This is common. Usually, because the patient can’t completely follow the diet after the first appointment, the braces may break or fall off the teeth. If it’s not bothering you, wait till your next appointment with your own doctor.

I have orthodontic elastics. Should I remove them when I want to eat or brush my teeth? And how should I again put it back?
The elastic should be removed when you eat or brush your teeth. Put it back in its place with your hand.

I’m 18 years old. Two of my upper teeth overlap, and it’s been a few years that I intend to have orthodontics. But two of my lower teeth have also been tilted and overlapped in the past few months. I visited an orthodontist and he said that he will extract two of the upper teeth and one from the lower teeth, and my upper jaw will go a little backward and my lower jaw will come a little forward. I’m really concerned, because I don’t want my jaws to move and I just like to have straight teeth. And will orthodontics cause my upper lip prominence to decrease? What do you think about this doctor’s opinion? And does the form of my jaw and lips change? And I have a question about my wisdom teeth. For now, I just feel one wisdom tooth under the gum. Does wisdom tooth affect the other teeth after orthodontics? Thanks for insight in advance.

Dr. Hadi Darvishpour :
If you have visited an orthodontist, his diagnosis is correct and you don’t need to worry. Sometimes, the lips may move inward when teeth are extracted, and if the lips are narrow, the changes may be more visible. The wisdom tooth may also be extracted if the orthodontist sees necessary.
