Using an orthodontic device at an initial stage may have some inconvenience, which is associated with the period of patient adaptation to a new element in his life. The period during which there is a complete addiction to a removable device ranges from 10 to 30 days. This period is accompanied by unpleasant events, such as nausea, elevated saliva secretion, and indistinct pronunciation. The indicated inconveniences are especially pronounced in patients who use an orthodontic device for the first time.

The term of adaptation is influenced by the presence or absence of pain. Of course, after some time after the overlay of the manufactured device, most often at the end of the first day, pain may appear under the apparatus, in which case it is necessary to consult a doctor.

If during the day you can not get to a doctor for one reason or another, and the overlay of the device causes pain, it should be removed at night. But in the morning the next day, a few hours before your appointment with a doctor, you have to wear the device. This will allow the physician to clearly set the limits of the violation and correct the device. Sometimes the correction is carried out 2-3 times until the complete disappearance of pain sensation.
The pain in the teeth may appear in the first 2-3 days of active use of the orthodontic apparatus, which is associated with the onset of tooth movement; Such a feeling may also accompany the period after the activation of the apparatus.
