ADJUSTMENT PERIOD
Congratulations on starting your journey towards a healthy smile! Like traditional braces and aligners, there is an adjustment period with Brava. Your teeth are beginning to move and, just like wearing a new pair of shoes or starting a new workout routine, your body needs 2-3 weeks to adjust.
As you adjust to your new Brava, it’s normal to experience some discomfort. This should subside within a couple of weeks. However, everyone is different. So, adjustment periods will vary. Here are some things you can do to enhance your comfort:
- EAT soft foods
- DRINK plenty of water
- SWISH with Medicated mouthwash
- RINSE with warm salt water
- COMFORT products like wax
- TAKE pain relievers, if necessary
SPEECH
Brava may cause a change in your speech. Don’t worry, this is only temporary! Your brain is amazing and will adapt in no time.
EATING
Unlike aligners that need to be removed before eating, drinking or snacking Brava allows you to enjoy your meals without any restrictions.
However, foods that are hard, sticky and chewy can cause damage and should be avoided.
BRUSHING & FLOSSING
Brava's innovative design doesn't use traditional wires, allowing patients to maintain regular brushing and flossing without any interference.
