After you have a removable brace fitted it is likely to bear some points in mind:
-
It is likely to be sore for 3-5 days
-
Your speech will be different. Practice speaking with your brace in place or read a book aloud at home. Your speech will return to normal soon
-
Always carry a case for the brace. Ring up for an appointment soon if your brace is broken or lost
-
Treatment progress will be delayed if you do not wear your brace as instructed
