Who can beneﬁt fromOrthodontics?Some believe braces are “for children only” but the truth is that there is a higher uptake of orthodontic treatment among adults than ever before!Tooth movement is based on biological and physical manipulation of the teeth and their supporting structures. The movement is a basic healing cycle which is replicated several times during the orthodontic process and is identical in children and adults.For this cyclical healing process to be effective the teeth, the gums and their supporting bones must be healthy. It is never too late to have orthodontic treatment. Whether you are 7 or 70 years old, you can still have a wonderful smile.4 Good appearance and a great smile.4 Improved self conﬁdence and psycho-social advantages.4 Several options to resolve problems such as crowded or spaced teeth.4 Reduced risk of accidental injury to protruding teeth.4 Inﬂuencing the growth of the jaws helps produce a better facial proﬁle.4 Re-arranging the teeth to improve the bite.4 Teeth are made easier to clean thereby reducing the risk of decay and gum disease.4 Harmful digit sucking habits can be stopped.4 Early intervention reduces the complexity of treatment in later life.4 Elimination of undue stresses on the jaw joints and abnormal wear of teeth.4 Preparation of the teeth for future work by other dental specialists.4 Aids speech development and adaptation.4 Having well arranged teeth can make you look younger.THE BENEFITS OF HAVING ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT INCLUDE: >It’s never too late for bracesWhether you are 7 or 70 years old, you can still have orthodontic treatment and a wonderful smile.2OCTAGON ORTHODONTICS | WWW.OCTAGONORTHODONTICS.COM SWIFT SMILE SERVICE | WWW.SWIFTSMILESERVICE.CO.UKBOOK AN APPOINTMENT AT OCTAGON ORTHODONTICS TODAY | HIGH WYCOMBE: 01494 513797 BEACONSFIELD: 01494 681367 DENHAM: 01895 831 049 LONDON: 0208 566 9567

A bad bitecan causeyou problemsProper alignment of your teeth and jaws are key factors in your long-term dental health. Malocclusion is the technical term used by orthodontists for crooked, crowded or protruding teeth which do not fit together properly. Literally, the word means "bad bite."Most malocclusions are inherited although some are acquired i.e. they can be caused by factors such as thumb-sucking, tongue thrusting, dental disease, premature loss of baby or permanent teeth, accidents or some medical problems. Malocclusion or ‘incorrect bite’ may involve crowding of teeth, improper spacing or upper and lower teeth that do not fit together correctly.WHY IS THE BITE IMPORTANT?4 Teeth need to be arranged so that when they are brought together while chewing, the forces are evenly distributed between most of them. This prevents one or more teeth from bearing all the forces.4 The muscles and joints work together to make the teeth meet most effectively and efficiently while chewing. If because of an incorrect bite, they are made to work harder, they may be strained.4 A bite that is incorrect because the teeth are not in the right position, may affect speech.4 Teeth that meet incorrectly might not allow the surrounding tissues like the lips to drape over them naturally, leaving them devoid of protection.POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES OF AN INCORRECT BITE4 Overload of forces on one or more teeth may lead to excessive wear on these teeth and possibly breakdown of structures supporting these teeth which may manifest as gum recession, loosening and loss of teeth. 4 Where teeth touch the gums of the opposite arch when biting – can lead to trauma of the gums. 4 Where the top front teeth are too far forward or too far back – can lead to speech problems. 4 Where top front teeth are too far forward and not protected by the drape of the lower lip – increases the risk of damage and loss of these teeth in case of a fall. 4 The muscles and joints guide teeth to meet as efficiently and effectively as possible while chewing. If they are made to work harder because of an incorrect bite, they can eventually breakdown resulting in joint pain, clicking in the joints, muscle pains and even headaches. 4 Sometimes the muscle and joints will not be able to guide teeth to meet effectively and this may result in difficulty in biting and chewing. > Abnormal wear or breakdown of tooth surfaces> Loosening teeth & gaps between the teeth > Receding gums> Difﬁ culty cleaning certain areas between the teeth> Localised tooth decay or gum disease> Jaw aches & pains> Non-speciﬁ c tooth-ache or pains> Discomfort when your teeth meetHow to detect bite problems:Problem: Unattractive appearance.

Straight teeth…What should they look like?Do you feel that your understanding of the term “straight teeth” is incomplete? You’re not alone because most people focus on what is visible when you smile and that is usually the front six teeth!Straight teeth should be assessed on the basis of 32 adult, healthy, working teeth arranged correctly in the upper and lower jaws. The relationship between all teeth, adjacent and opposing, within each jaw should be harmonious and aesthetic.123WHAT SHOULD IT LOOKLIKE WHEN VIEWED FROMTHE FRONT?In the diagram, the midline (the dashed blue line) between the two middle upper and lower front teeth should coincide. Preferably this dental midline should coincide with the centre-line of the face. There is an aesthetic zone (in the green box) which falls between the canines and the smile zone which includes all the teeth that appear within the lips when you smile. All the teeth that appear in both zones should be in a balanced relationship with each other. Contrary to popular belief, the biting edges of the teeth need not be straight; it is perfectly natural for your teeth to form a contoured pattern, such as illustrated by the red line. The presence of this contoured pattern enables us to distinguish between somebody who is wearing machined dentures or ill-designed veneers and somebody with a natural look. The ideal relationship between the upper front teeth should be stepwise with the central (1) and lateral incisor (2) and canine (3) at different levels. 123WHAT THEY SHOULD LOOK LIKE FROM THE TOP OR BOTTOM?The two curved lines drawn over the teeth should be balanced and symmetrical arches in an ideal scenario. However, this is not achievable in everybody due to differences in tooth sizes, shapes and bone structure.123WHAT SHOULD IT LOOK LIKE FROM THE SIDE?When teeth are viewed from the side there should be an obvious cog-like arrangement, in the same way gears fit together. This aspect of straightness is an indication that your teeth can function properly when you bite together. If you are having difficulty with biting, you may have a problem with overjet or your overbite, which are described next.123WHAT IS OVERBITE?When your teeth are together the upper teeth should overlap the lowers - this is defined as overbite. In a perfect smile, the upper teeth should cover no more than 30% of the lowers (the difference between the red and green line).If there is no overbite and your front teeth meet at the top edges, they will wear down rapidly (reduced overbite and attrition). Deep bite occurs when your teeth overlap too much causing injury to the gums and teeth behind the upper arch.123WHAT IS OVERJET?Overjet is the extent to which the front top teeth protrude past the lower front teeth. This is represented by the arrows on the diagram. Preferably, overjet should be between 2 to 4 mm, however this can differ depending on the extent to which your jaws grow. Observe the diagram to see that the upper and lower front teeth stick forward slightly, this is important because they provide a surface on which the upper and lower lips rest (lip support).Not everybody can conform to the ideal or perfect ‘dental arrangement’ because of differences in tooth shape, size, bone structure and racial characteristics. However, aesthetic professionals agree that there is no ‘normal’ because of this variability! When analysed from different viewpoints there are five key features that need to be demonstrated for your orthodontist to be satisfied that your teeth are straight. Here we lay them out for you in plain language.What is wrong with my teeth? Here the teeth meet in good positions, the overbite and overjet are correct, but the teeth might be crowded or displaced. Depending on the degree of displacement, the orthodontist will determine the kind of braces that would best treat the specific case. CLASS I MALOCCLUSIONCLASS II DIVISION 1 MALOCCLUSIONThe upper teeth are projecting forwards of the lowers (the overjet is increased) and the upper incisors are proclined, or pointing forwards. Crowding may also be present. This arrangement is seen in about 34% of the population. Depending on the degree of discrepancy, functional braces, headgear, extractions or surgery may be needed to create a good correction.CLASS II DIVISION 2 MALOCCLUSIONThe upper incisors are retroclined (tipped backwards) although the upper jaw might be protrusive. The overbite is usually greatly increased (deep bite). About 18% of malocclusions are like this and the treatment is very similar to a class II division I malocclusion.CLASS III MALOCCLUSIONIn 2% of malocclusions, the lower teeth are positioned ahead of the uppers (a reverse overjet or complete class III). This is often associated with misalignment of either the upper or lower jaws. These cases may need a combination of braces and a jaw operation to correct the bite. Because the lower jaw is one of the last bones to stop growing, treatment is often delayed until the patients are adults, so that a correct treatment plan can be made.Malocclusions (bad bites) are described under standardised groupings which have become accepted world-wide. These groupings allow universal classiﬁ cation of problems and enable dental professionals to communicate using the same terms.4OCTAGON ORTHODONTICS | WWW.OCTAGONORTHODONTICS.COM SWIFT SMILE SERVICE | WWW.SWIFTSMILESERVICE.CO.UKBOOK AN APPOINTMENT AT OCTAGON ORTHODONTICS TODAY | HIGH WYCOMBE: 01494 513797 BEACONSFIELD: 01494 681367 DENHAM: 01895 831 049 LONDON: 0208 566 9567

While orthodontic treatment can improve smiles at any age, there may be an optimal time for individual patients to begin treatment in order to achieve maximum improvement in a minimum amount of time. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that a child’s ﬁ rst visit to an orthodontist takes place no later than age seven if an orthodontic problem is detected.Early or phase 1 treatment for kidsSOME EARLY WARNING SIGNS THAT MAY INDICATE YOUR CHILD SHOULD SEE AN ORTHODONTIST:Crowded or misplaced teethProtrusion (overjet)Deep bite (overbite)Early or late loss of baby teethThumb and finger suckingSpeech difficultyDifficulty in chewing or bitingGrinding or clenching of teethJaws that shift or make soundsMissing teethSigns of enamel wear>>>>>>>>>>>WHAT IS PHASE 1ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT?Timing is everything, even when it comes to your child’s orthodontic treatment. Phase 1 also known as early interceptive treatment, is orthodontic treatment that is done before all of the adult teeth have erupted and some baby teeth are still present. It often occurs between the ages of six and ten.A Phase II treatment is usually required, this is normally shorter and with better prognosis when combined with Phase I treatment. It also contributes to reducing the need of extracting adult teeth for orthodontic purposes. The American association of orthodontists recommends that your child’s first check up with an orthodontist be performed when an orthodontic problem is first recognised, but no later than age 7. While a child’s teeth may look straight, there could be a problem that only an orthodontist can detect. By age seven, your child’s bite is established and the amount of crowding can be determined.There are generally three outcomes of an initial orthodontic check-up:1) No treatment is expected to be necessary2) Treatment may be needed in the future, so the child will be followed periodically while the face and jaws continue to grow. 3) Problems detected can be corrected with early orthodontic treatment. Some orthodontic problems may be easier to correct if they are found and treated early; these can be more serious over time if left untreated. Waiting until all the permanent teeth have erupted, or until facial growth is nearly complete, may make correction of some problems more difficult and compromise results. Furthermore, some results may not be possible to achieve once the face and jaws have finished growing. These aligners have been developed with speciﬁ c features for younger patients baby and permanent teeth.They include unique features to accommodate for younger patients. These include special attachments for shorter clinical crowns, adequate contact and forces as well as comfortable aligner material to maintain high levels of patient cooperation and compliance.Invisalign ﬁ rst includes the same proven technology, comfort and convenience with same outcomes and experiences that Invisalign providers and patients would expect.Invisalign ﬁ rst enables us to treat younger children because of the following advantages: More comfortable for younger kids to wear. More convenient for their parents than conventional methods. No food restrictions required. No change in brushing or cleaning. No emergency visits. Less disruptive way to treat phase 1 patients. Remember that through an early orthodontic evaluation, you’ll be giving your child the best opportunity for a healthy, beautiful smile. INVISALIGN FIRST FOR KIDSMAIN PROBLEMS YOUR ORTHODONTIST MAY RECOMMEND STARTING TREATMENT WITH PHASE 1:4 Patients with a cross bite: Correcting a cross bite early can be easier and can prevent a lower jaw problem from worsening and becoming harder to fix later.4 Extreme crowding: Creating room for blocked-out teeth can either avoid or reduce the need for extractions in the future.4 Protrusive or goofy front teeth: Front teeth that stick out are at higher risk for trauma, bringing them back reduces that risk.4 Psychosocial protection (To stop bullying): Putting braces on some kids can make a significant impact on their emotional well-being and self-confidence.4 Narrow arches. 4 Underbites (when lower front teeth are ahead of the upper front teeth).4 Habits that are affecting the teeth or jaw growth (e.g. thumb or finger sucking).4 Excessively spaced teeth. 4 Impacted teeth or teeth stuck in the gum.BENEFITS OF PHASE 1 TREATMENT4 Improve the bite by guiding the growing jaws in the right direction 4 Expand dental arches4 Reduce risk of trauma for goofy teeth4 Create space for the incoming adult teeth4 Correct harmful oral habits 4 Reduce risk caries4 Reduce the need to extract permanent teeth4 Reduce the need for jaw surgery4 Increased self-confidence and aesthetics4 Improve speech problems and lip competence4 Provide each patient with the most appropriate treatment at the most appropriate timePHASE 1 TREATMENT OPTIONSINVISALIGN FIRST CLEAR ALIGNERSInvisalign treatment uses a series of custom-made, nearly invisible, removable aligners to move your teeth in a gradual step by step process.FIXED BRACES - SWIFT SMILE SERVICEWhen glued to the teeth each bracket can correct the positions of individual or groups of teeth. Special ﬁ xed appliances, called rapid palatal expanders, can be used to expand or widen the roof of the mouth to create space for crowded teeth or to improve the bite. REMOVABLE APPLIANCES AND RETAINERSThese can be used to push individual teeth into correct positions or to widen/expand the jaws.FUNCTIONAL APPLIANCESThese are special braces which can help control and manipulate the growth of the jaws. Certain types of functional braces can be ﬁ xed into the mouth. HEADGEARThese are used to move the upper teeth backwards and can sometimes be useful to slow down the growth of the upper jaw. A variation, called a facemask, can be used to pull the upper jaw and teeth forward.SERIAL EXTRACTIONS: Sometimes no appliances are necessary. In this case removal of some baby teeth may aid the permanent teeth to erupt better. The extractions will be timed to take best advantage of a patient’s growth and development.7NEWS AND UPDATES FROM OCTAGON ORTHODONTICS OCTAGON NEWSCONTACT US TODAY TO ENHANCE YOUR LIFE | VISIT OCTAGON ORTHODONTICS: WWW.OCTAGONORTHODONTICS.COM | SWIFT SMILE SERVICE: WWW.SWIFTSMILESERVICE.CO.UK

Functional appliances are devices used to correct bad bites and they are mainly used in growing patients. They are so-called because you can ‘function’ when they are in your mouth. These appliances exploit the muscle actions used when speaking, eating and swallowing to produce forces that move the teeth and align the jaws. Invisalign Teen with mandibular advancement (for complex cases) offers a simpler, more efficient and patient-friendly treatment option than traditional functional appliances to treat goofy teeth and overjets.COMPARISON OF FUNCTIONAL APPLIANCE METHODSTWIN BLOCK& FIXED BRACESTREATMENT LENGTH24-36 MONTHSTREATMENT PLAN2 PHASES:OVERJET CORRECTION & TOOTH STRAIGHTENING DONE SEPARATELYSPEECHAFFECTED BY TWIN BLOCKVISIBILITYOBTRUSIVECOMFORTVARIABLELOST BRACESEXPENSIVETwin Block Functional appliance TreatmentFixed Brace Treatment> HIGH WYCOMBE OCTAGON ORTHODONTICSAT THE AVENUE 112 THE AVENUE,EALING, LONDON W13 8JXTELEPHONE: 0208 566 9567OCTAGON ORTHODONTICSAT THE ASHCROFT CLINIC 2 ASHCROFT DRIVEDENHAM MIDDLESEX UB9 5JFTELEPHONE: 01895 831 049OCTAGON ORTHODONTICSAT DENTAL ART CHESTERTON GARDENS, GROVE ROAD, BEACONSFIELD, BUCKINGHAMSHIRE HP9 1URTELEPHONE: 01494 681367OCTAGON ORTHODONTICSAT THE BEAUTY SOCIETY 31-33 AMERSHAM HILL,HIGH WYCOMBE, BUCKINGHAMSHIRE HP13 6NUTELEPHONE: 01494 513797> BEACONSFIELD> DENHAM> LONDONBOOK AN APPOINTMENT AT OCTAGON ORTHODONTICS TODAY8OCTAGON ORTHODONTICS | WWW.OCTAGONORTHODONTICS.COM SWIFT SMILE SERVICE | WWW.SWIFTSMILESERVICE.CO.UKBOOK AN APPOINTMENT AT OCTAGON ORTHODONTICS TODAY | HIGH WYCOMBE: 01494 513797 BEACONSFIELD: 01494 681367 DENHAM: 01895 831 049 LONDON: 0208 566 9567

What isInvisalign?Invisalign treatment uses a series of custom-made, nearly invisible, removable aligners to move your teeth in a gradual step by step process. Aligners are changed every two weeks, until your teeth have been straightened to the final position prescribed by your doctor.A virtual 3D treatment plan (ClinCheck treatment plan) is produced by Invisalign based on your doctors specific instructions. You will be able to view your virtual treatment plan prior to wearing your aligners. This allows you, through 3D animations to see the individual teeth movements at each stage throughout the course of your treatment. It also enables you to see what your final result is expected to look like at the end of treatment.Once both you and your doctor are happy with the results of the ClinCheck treatment plan, your The Invisalign system is delivered to the patient as a ‘Series’ of numbered and labelled aligners. Each packet is labelled with the patients name, doctors name, treatment type and the number of the aligner within the series. For example:U 15 of 25L 15 of 25This packet contains the 15th upper and lower aligners of 25 aligners.custom-made, clear aligners are produced especially for you. All aligners are individually manufactured to fit your teeth and will not work on anyone else!Invisalign is the comfortable, sensible way to straighten your teeth. Even though there are a variety of choices available for transforming your smile, no other treatment will work as comfortably or without interfering with your normal day to day life.The aligners must be worn for a minimum of 22 hours each day and changed to the next sequential aligner within the series every 1-3 weeks throughout the treatment.*This process can only be varied by your qualiﬁ ed, supervising doctorInvisalign processOnce your doctor determines that Invisalign is right for your orthodontic needs, a set of impressions will be taken and a detailed treatment plan will be developed for you.

A fixed brace is an orthodontic appliance which cannot be removed from the mouth by the patient. Amongst teenagers, fixed braces are commonly known as “train tracks” which can be used to treat children and adults alike.Fixed braces are one of the most effective ways of straightening teeth. They can be used in combination with removable or functional braces and while a fair number of patients benefit from more than one type of brace, most will have fixed braces.It is important to familiarise yourself with the different components that make up your fixed brace.LIGATURE OR MODULEA ligature is a tiny wire and a module is a tiny elastic, both of which can be used to hold the archwire in place on each bracket.METAL BAND (NOT SHOWN)These are thin bands or rings of metal, carefully fitted to the tooth and then cemented in place. They have either a tube or hook attached so that the wire can be held in place.SEPARATORS (NOT SHOWN)To make it more comfortable for you, before placing part of your fixed brace, we may need to make space between your back teeth to allow the bands to go into place. Slowly over a few days, separators gently move certain teeth slightly apart to allow us to accurately place bands on your next appointment. This can cause temporary soreness that will go away in a few days. Rinsing with warm salt water can help relieve the soreness. It is important to call the practice for advice if you lose one, or more of the separators.ARCHWIREThese act as a guide or track, along which the teeth are to be moved. They are changed throughout the treatment. Each archwire change brings us closer to an ideal tooth position.BRACKETSThese are small square shapes which are cemented directly onto each tooth. The arch wire is then placed through the bracket. We use three types of brackets metal, gold and ceramic.ELASTIC HOOKS & RUBBER BANDSNot every patient needs to wear elastics. These are small rubber bands which are attached to hooks on your brackets to cause a continuous, gentle force to help individual tooth movement or to align one arch to the next. If you are required to use them please note that they are speeding up the day you get your braces off so it is in your best interests to wear them. Teeth have never failed to move when elastics are worn consistently as directed by the orthodontist.A B C DFixed appliancesone of the most effective ways of straightening teeth.ORTHODONTICENGINEERINGTOOLS OF THE TRADEABDCSTRAIGHT TEETH IN NO TIME FOR JUST £100 A MONTH (LESS THAN £4 A DAY)FREE CONSULTATIONIncludes: Clinical examination, Photographs, X-Ray and Scans (No messy impressions)CHOOSE YOUR BRACESMetal ﬁxed braces +/- colours orUpgrade to gold or tooth coloured ﬁxed bracesCHOOSE YOUR APPOINTMENTSWeekdays 9-7pm Including after work and school Saturdays 9am-1pmFREE AFTERCARE1 x set of transparent retainers orUpgrade to bonded retainers + 6 Month reviewMETAL FIXED BRACES WITH COLOURSMETAL FIXED BRACESGOLD FIXED BRACES WITH COLOURSGOLD FIXED BRACESTOOTH COLOURED FIXED BRACES WITH COLOURSTOOTH COLOURED FIXED BRACESSTANDARD OPTIONS FROM £600UPGRADE OPTIONS + £400UPGRADE OPTIONS + £400CRITERIAIOTN GRADESubject to our clinical assessmentSTANDARD: METAL FIXED BRACES WITH COLOURSMONTHLY PAYMENTS (No deposit)UPGRADE: TOOTH COLOURED OR GOLD FIXED BRACESMONTHLY PAYMENTS (No deposit)MILDGRADE 1 Minor crowding or spacing and relapsed cases£600£100£1,000£100MODERATEGRADE 2 AND 3 Moderate crowding, spacing, minimal extraction and Non-extraction cases£1,200£100£1,600£100SEVEREGRADE 4 AND 5 Severe crowding, impactions, extraction and functional cases£1,800£100£2,200£10010OCTAGON ORTHODONTICS | WWW.OCTAGONORTHODONTICS.COM SWIFT SMILE SERVICE | WWW.SWIFTSMILESERVICE.CO.UKBOOK AN APPOINTMENT AT OCTAGON ORTHODONTICS TODAY | HIGH WYCOMBE: 01494 513797 BEACONSFIELD: 01494 681367 DENHAM: 01895 831 049 LONDON: 0208 566 9567

Handling emergencies with ﬁxed bracesWhile there are different brands of ﬁxed braces, they work in the same way and common issues crop up. Read on to find out the answers to some commonly asked questions which arise for patients in fixed braces. Most of these problems are not detrimental to treatment and any discomfort can be alleviated at home by using the information below. If you are in pain or discomfort, then every effort will be made to schedule an appointment for you to see the orthodontist.PROTRUDING WIREOccasionally, the end of a wire will work itself out of place and irritate the mouth. Use a cotton bud or pencil eraser to push the wire so that it is flat against the tooth. If the wire cannot be moved into a comfort able position, cover it with relief wax supplied in your cleaning pack. In a situation where the wire is causing extreme pain and you are not able to see the orthodontist soon, you may, as a last resort, cut the wire using a sharp pair of nail scissors or clippers. To reduce the possibility of swallowing the snipped piece of wire, use a folded tissue or gauze around the area. Relief wax may still be necessary to provide comfort to the irritated area.LOOSE BRACKETS, WIRES OR BANDSIf the braces have come loose in any way, the orthodontist should be called to determine appropriate next steps. Brackets are the parts of braces attached to teeth with a special adhesive. They are generally positioned in the centre of each tooth. The bracket can be knocked off if hard or crunchy foods have been eaten. If the loose bracket has rotated on the wire and is sticking out and you cannot immediately reach the orthodontist, you can do a temporary fix to ease discomfort and prevent further damage. This must only be done as a last resort. Take care to prevent swallowing or other injury. To put the bracket back in place, use clean tweezers to slide the bracket along the wire until it is between two teeth. Rotate the bracket back to the proper position then slide it back to the centre of the tooth.LIGATURES COME OFFTiny rubber bands or small, fine wires, known as ligatures, hold the wire to the bracket. If a rubber ligature should come off, you may be able to put it back in place using clean tweezers. If a wire ligature comes loose, simply remove it with tweezers. If the wire ligature is sticking out into the lip but is not loose, it can be bent back down with a cotton bud or pencil eraser to eliminate the irritation. When one ligature pops off or breaks, others may follow. Examine all ligatures adjacent to the missing ligature. Please notify your orthodontist to check whether the ligature needs to be replaced.DISCOMFORTIt is quite normal to experience discomfort for a day or two after braces or retainers are fitted or adjusted. The discomfort can make eating uncomfortable – this is both normal and temporary. Keep to eating soft foods during this time and use a mild analgesic such as Ibruprofen or paracetamol for the first few days if discomfort is experienced.MOUTH SORESSome patients are susceptible to episodes of mouth sores. While braces do not cause them, they may be made worse by an irritation from braces. One or several areas of ulceration of the cheeks, lips or tongue may appear. This is not an emergency, but may be very uncomfortable. Prompt relief may be achieved by applying a small amount of topical anaesthetic directly to the ulcerated surface using a cotton swab. Re-apply this when needed or as directed by the instructions on the product.FOOD CAUGHT BETWEEN TEETHThis is not an emergency, but can be a little uncomfortable. It is easily fixed with dental floss. Try tying a small knot in the middle of the floss to help remove the food, or use your interspace (small headed) brush or toothpick to dislodge food caught between teeth and braces.IRRITATION OF LIPS OR CHEEKSSometimes new braces can be irritating to the mouth, especially when eating. A small amount of non-medicinal relief wax makes an excellent buffer between brace and mouth which you can find in your cleaning pack. Simply pinch off a small piece and roll it into a ball the size of a small pea. Flatten the ball and place it completely over the area of the braces causing irritation. Eating will then become more comfortable (avoid hot drinks as this will melt the wax). If the wax is accidentally ingested, it’s not a problem as the wax is harmless.>Most of the problems listed to the left are not detrimental to treatment and can be alleviated at home. If you are in pain or discomfort, then every effort will be made to schedule an appointment for you to see the orthodontist.11NEWS AND UPDATES FROM OCTAGON ORTHODONTICS OCTAGON NEWSCONTACT US TODAY TO ENHANCE YOUR LIFE | VISIT OCTAGON ORTHODONTICS: WWW.OCTAGONORTHODONTICS.COM | SWIFT SMILE SERVICE: WWW.SWIFTSMILESERVICE.CO.UK

Oral health and bracesWhen wearing braces, it is essential that you maintain a high standard of oral hygiene throughout your treatment:TOOTHBRUSHES & INTERSPACE TOOTHBRUSHESDuring your orthodontic treatment you must brush your braces and teeth at least a minimum of four times a day - after every meal and morning and night. Use two different types of toothbrush to do this, a regular toothbrush and an interspace toothbrush (small headed brush).Use the regular toothbrush firstly to remove all the food and plaque for 3-5 minutes. Use short, fast and firm forwards and backwards motions and make sure you brush above and below your brace to clean your gum lines. Then use the interspace toothbrush (small headed brush) to get through all the areas missed by the large headed toothbrush. You do this by firmly brushing so that the bristles spread out in-between the wires, brackets and gum margins. Be sure no food or plaque is left on the braces or teeth as this will cause permanent damage.It is important to remember to take a toothbrush and interspace brush with you when you go out of your home so that you can always clean your teeth after every meal. A travel toothbrush and a travel interspace toothbrush will make this easier for you.DISCLOSING TABLETSTo ensure you are cleaning your teeth well we recommend the use of disclosing tablets. The tablets highlight where plaque has developed on the teeth and around the gum line. Using the tablets to show the plaque will allow you to concentrate on brushing the specific areas to reduce the damaging plaque build up.HOW TO USE DISCLOSING TABLETS:1 Place a disclosing tablet in your mouth.2 Chew thoroughly with just saliva, spread it all over tooth and gum surfaces with your tongue, until your mouth has been completely covered with disclosing dye.3 Spit out the saliva.4 Rinse your mouth out with water.5 Areas of plaque will be stained by the dye and will show you where you are missing and not brushing properly.6 Brush your teeth until the dye has been removed, then concentrate on those areas the next time you brush.7 We recommend you do this once a week.DENTAL MIRRORUse the dental mirror to familiarise yourself with the different parts of your brace and regularly check it so that you are aware if something comes loose or breaks. You can also use the dental mirror to check for any food or plaque that may be stuck behind or around the teeth which was missed when brushing. It is also useful for checking for plaque on your back teeth when you use the disclosing tablets.FLUORIDE MOUTHWASHFluoride mouthwash provided in the cleaning pack must be used at least once a day, morning or evening after brushing, or more often if you prefer.FLOSS AND THREADERSIt is important to regularly floss your teeth to maintain healthy gum lines, threaders will allow you to continue to do this throughout your treatment. They are flexible so that you can thread floss through them then move around the wires on the brace allowing you to push the floss between the teeth to clean as normal.WAXTo prevent the brace from rubbing against the inside of your lips and mouth you may need to apply wax. You do this by pulling off a pea-sized amount of wax, rolling it into a soft ball and then moulding it around the bracket that is rubbing. The wax becomes the barrier between your brace and the sore area and stops it rubbing allowing the mouth to heal. Don’t worry if you swallow the wax as it is harmless and be aware that if you have a hot drink when wearing wax it will probably melt!>Brush your braces and teeth at least a minimum of four times a day, after every meal, morning and night.>>>Use two different types of toothbrush to clean. A regular toothbrush (shown above) and an interspace toothbrush (small headed brush).12OCTAGON ORTHODONTICS | WWW.OCTAGONORTHODONTICS.COM SWIFT SMILE SERVICE | WWW.SWIFTSMILESERVICE.CO.UKBOOK AN APPOINTMENT AT OCTAGON ORTHODONTICS TODAY | HIGH WYCOMBE: 01494 513797 BEACONSFIELD: 01494 681367 DENHAM: 01895 831 049 LONDON: 0208 566 9567

VIVERA REMOVABLE RETAINERSLike Invisalign, Vivera retainers are custom made especially for each individual patient. You are provided with three sets that are made from clear thermoplastic using 3D digital imaging and the most advanced fabrication technology. The combination of all of this technology enables the Vivera retainers to not only be strong and almost invisible, but also to have a precise fit.These consist of a wire bonded to the tongue-side of your teeth. They are designed to hold your teeth in a particular position for a long period of time, and the longer they remain in place the greater the guarantee that your teeth will remain straight.BONDED FIXED RETAINERSThis is a clear or transparent retainer that is moulded to fit over the teeth.ESSIX REMOVABLE RETAINERSThis is the most common retainer and is made of a metal wire that surrounds the teeth, keeping them in place. The wire is rooted to a piece of specially moulded acrylic, which resides in the palate or floor of the mouth.HAWLEY REMOVABLE RETAINERS Wear your retainers day and night for 6 months. Then wear them every night into the future if you want to keep your teeth straight. Remove when brushing teeth, eating or playing sports. When the retainers are out of your mouth, place them in a brace/retainer case for safety. Clean them 3-4 times a day using a toothbrush and toothpaste. Bring your retainers for the periodic check-up appointments. There is an additional cost for replacement or repair of this retainer. Wear these retainers during the day whilst wearing the Hawley retainers at night. This will help the retainer to last longer. Do not drink hot drinks whilst wearing the retainer as this will distort it, as will any contact with hot liquid. Remove when brushing teeth, eating or playing sports. When the retainers are out of your mouth, place them in a brace/retainer case for safety. Clean them 3-4 times a day by brushing with a toothbrush and clear liquid soap under cold water only. Do not use toothpaste. Bring your retainers for the periodic check-up appointments. There is an additional cost for replacement or repair of this retainer. Bonded retainers are designed to hold the teeth in the exact position over a long period of time. The longer they remain in place the greater the guarantee that your teeth will remain straight. You must note and memorise the position of the thin wire behind the teeth and the special cement used to attach this wire to each tooth. Check the wires with a small mouth mirror every morning. Brush the back of your teeth and over the wires thoroughly 2-3 times a day, especially after eating sweet foods. Sticky sweets and hard foods can break the wire or its attachments, so be careful! If the wire breaks or an attachment becomes loose, telephone this clinic for an immediate appointment to have it checked. Ensure you wear your removable retainers to keep the teeth in position until your appointment. When wearing a Bonded retainer you need only wear your removable retainers at night. There is an additional cost for replacement or repair of this retainer. Wear these retainers EVERY NIGHT into the future if you want to keep your teeth straight. Your orthodontist might ask you to do additional hours if necessary. Do not drink hot drinks whilst wearing the retainer as this will distort it, as will any contact with hot liquid. Remove when brushing teeth, eating or playing sports. When the retainers are out of your mouth, place them in a brace/retainer case for safety. Brush your teeth after eating before replacing the retainer. Clean them once a day using a toothbrush, water and a clear liquid soap only. Do not use toothpaste to clean them, because it can make your retainers more brittle and prone to breakage. Bring your retainers for the periodic check-up appointments. Vivera retainers come in sets of three, so if you break or loose a set, you will already have a replacement to hand. There is an additional cost for any additional replacement sets.INSTRUCTIONS FOR VIVERA REMOVABLE RETAINERSINSTRUCTIONS FOR BONDED (FIXED) RETAINERSINSTRUCTIONS FOR ESSIX REMOVABLE RETAINERSINSTRUCTIONS FOR HAWLEY REMOVABLE RETAINERSKills 99%of 7 Common Odour-CausingBacteriaAVAILABLE AT ALL OUR CLINICS, ASK AT RECEPTIONRetainersRetainers are designed to hold your teeth in the corrected positions after the braces have been removed.It is your responsibility to keep your teeth in the corrected positions.
