Those who have been reading my channel for a long time know about my epic with orthodontic treatment on a bracket system. Simply put, I correct the bite. The girls asked in the comments if I had abandoned treatment, because I hadn't written about braces for a long time.
Nothing interesting in the treatment is happening yet, we raise the upper molars to place the braces on the lower jaw. When I go through this long and dreary stage, I will definitely write in detail about everything.
In the meantime, all that is required of me (and my orthodontist reminds me of this at every appointment) is thorough dental care.
With all my designs, more care is needed, but don't think that only those who wear braces need it. Everyone should watch their teeth. At least because good oral care will save you a decent amount of money on dental care.
I have heard many stories from people that they have good genetics, about the teeth "do not sweat". But according to the classics of the genre, they still have to go to dentistry and roar at the cost of treatment, for some the amount runs up with a supported foreign car.
A year and a half ago, I had no idea that daily dental hygiene not limited only a toothbrush and paste. And as all I perceived everything unknown to me for marketing and "ripped off".
When I began to undergo dental treatment, I began to be more attentive to dental care. I made sure that the toothbrush is not able to remove plaque from between the teeth. Most of the brushes in supermarkets are generally useless, I'll write a separate article about this if you're interested.
You can use dental floss, but there are nuances in the technique, not everyone uses it correctly, because of this, the gums are injured, and plaque remains in the interdental spaces. To learn how to use dental floss correctly, contact your dentist or hygienist, he will tell you everything and, most importantly, show you.
My wand is a lifesaver in this case - an irrigator. And I have two of them, one stationary (I wrote about him on the channel a year ago) the other is portable. Let's talk about the second option today: it is small and lightweight, which you can take with you wherever you go. It is convenient to brush your teeth even at work after lunch.
Briefly about why you need an irrigator and why it is a useful purchase for the family
An irrigator is a useful thing like a vacuum cleaner or washing machine. It cleans the oral cavity with a strong pressure of water. This helps him to clean those places that the toothbrush cannot reach: interdental spaces, gum pockets, where food debris remains, which provokes the appearance of caries and tartar.
The irrigator is indispensable for those who have braces, dental implants, crowns or who have gum problems. By the way, if you are a frequent visitor to the periodontist, you can pour gum rinse or chamomile decoction into the water compartment, for example.
Let's summarize. To clean the soft plaque from the surface of the teeth, you need to use a brush with paste (no one canceled them). But the irrigator knocks out food debris between the teeth, it is used in the presence of braces, bridges, implants and for massage of the gums.
Why do I need two irrigators
The stationary is always in the bathroom and helps to brush my teeth when I'm at home. It has more attachments and is more powerful. So powerful that at first, due to inexperience, it was unpleasant to clean, the gums were bleeding a little.
But lately I have to often travel to the region on personal matters, it is difficult to take a stationary with me, it takes up a lot of space. That's why I took the portable irrigator, it is small and fits in my bag without any problems.
My choice fell on ROCIMED RKM-1701, 1702. He has two attachments, one is used by my husband when he travels with me, the other by me. Lightweight, compact and long-lasting, so you don't have to take your charger with you everywhere. Charging is suitable from a smartphone. And good in terms of "price / quality".
But the most important thing for me personally is the optimal water pressure. It is not extremely powerful, so that stones fly out from the teeth in different directions, but it is not weak either - it cleans food between the teeth well. There is no need to adjust the power, it is optimal there by default.
By the way, many, due to the strong pressure (which is typical for stationary ones), will be horrified and stop using it. And in vain.
Of the minuses - I add water mostly twice. But I have a bracket system, so I have to clean it longer and more thoroughly.
