I've just uploaded a video onto YouTube with a list of 10 things you need to get through your first month with a lingual brace. I hope you find them helpful!
1) Someone to look after you who understands what you're going through
2) Electric Toothbrush with normal and orthodontic heads - and loads of toothpaste!
3) Orthodontic Wax and tissues to dry area before you apply wax
4) Mouthwash
5) Orthodontic brush and paste to carry with you during the day
6) Interdental Brushes
7) Breatheasy nose strips to help you breathe through your nose at night rather than mouth breathing which dries out tongue and makes it worse (not applicable if you already breathe through your nose at night!)
8) Fresh breath spray - more comfortable than sucking a mint!
9) Soft foods like soup, protein shakes and yoghurt
10) Straws to drink through
