2 years back removable braces
Hello Doctor, Before 3 years I had braces and after that used removable braces (please refer pics). Then stopped after some what neat alignment (& still there some gaps) as per doctor Suggestion and went for lingual braces - to stop teeth coming zigzag again. The upper lingual brace got damaged and got removed. After 2 years - in between teeth appearing gaps ( doctor created for neat teeth alignment) So my question is can I use those upper jaw removable braces again (I had them) after clean washing. How can I wash them properly? Please suggest. Thank you.

it's important to consult with your orthodontist or dentist for personalized advice in your specific situation. If you have removable braces that you previously used and would like to start using them again, it's best to consult with your orthodontist before doing so. They can evaluate the current alignment of your teeth and determine if using the removable braces would be appropriate and effective for your case. In terms of cleaning your removable braces, it's important to maintain good oral hygiene to keep them clean and free from bacteria. Here are some general steps you can follow: Remove the braces: Take out the removable braces from your mouth before cleaning them. Rinse with water: Rinse the braces with water to remove any loose debris or particles. Brush the braces: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and a mild soap or denture cleaner to brush the braces gently. Pay attention to all the surfaces and make sure to clean all areas thoroughly. Rinse again: After brushing, rinse the braces thoroughly to remove any remaining soap or denture cleaner. Soak the braces: You can use a denture cleaning solution or a mixture of equal parts water and vinegar to soak the braces for a recommended period of time, as specified by your orthodontist or the manufacturer's instructions. Rinse once more: After soaking, rinse the braces with water again to remove any residue from the cleaning solution. Dry and store properly: Dry the braces completely before storing them in a clean and dry case or container. Avoid exposing them to excessive heat or direct sunlight. Remember to follow any specific instructions provided by your orthodontist for cleaning and maintaining your specific type of removable braces. If you have any concerns or questions about cleaning or reusing your removable braces, it's best to reach out to your orthodontist for guidance.
