Invisalign Clear Aligner

Patient Instruction Invisalign 1. General Information Invisalign is a clear aligner system that uses 3D computer technology to create personalized orthodontic devices. The process begins with the dentist taking an impression of the patient’s mouth. This impression is then scanned into a digital model of the teeth. A computer program determines the step-by-step movement of the teeth according to the treatment plan outlined by the dentist. Each stage of tooth movement is used as a template to manufacture the individual Invisalign aligners. 2. Alternatives treatment 3.  Risk and side effect of treatment 4.

Tooth Extraction

Post-Tooth Extraction Care Instructions​ 1. What to Expect After Dental Treatment Following a tooth extraction, it is normal to experience mild to moderate discomfort, swelling around the site, and minor bleeding. These symptoms typically subside within a few days. Slight jaw stiffness, difficulty opening the mouth fully, or a temporary change in bite sensation may also occur. Bruising may appear on the cheek or jawline, especially after surgical extractions. These are natural healing responses and generally resolve on their own. It is also common to have some blood oozing from the extraction site for up to 24–48 hours. During this time, if bleeding occurs, place clean gauze over the area and bite down firmly to apply pressure to the wound edge and help control the bleeding. This simple technique helps ensure that the healing process continues properly and minimizes the risk of dry socket. 2. How to Take Care of Yourself After Treatment Bite down gently but firmly on the gauze pad placed by your dentist for 1 to 2 hours to control bleeding. Apply a cold compress on the outside of the cheek for 15–20 minutes at a time, during the first 24 hours. Take all medications as prescribed, including pain relievers and antibiotics. Rest and avoid strenuous activity for the first 48–72 hours. Sleep with your head elevated for the first night. Maintain oral hygiene by brushing and rinsing carefully, avoiding the extraction site for the first day. After 24 hours, rinse your mouth gently with warm salt water several times a day to promote healing. Eat soft, cool or lukewarm foods such as soup, mashed potatoes, or yogurt. Drink plenty of water and stay hydrated. Following these post-operative care tips can significantly reduce discomfort and help ensure a smooth recovery. Patients visiting dental clinics in Chiang Mai—such as Kitcha Dental Clinic—can expect professional guidance and attentive aftercare instructions tailored to their needs. 3. What to Avoid After Treatment Do not rinse your mouth forcefully or spit during the first 24 hours. Avoid using straws or engaging in any sucking action that may dislodge the blood clot. Refrain from smoking or consuming alcohol for at least 72 hours, as these can delay healing. Avoid hot, spicy, or hard foods that may irritate the site. Do not touch the extraction area with your fingers or tongue. Avoid blowing your nose forcefully or sneezing with your mouth closed, especially if the extracted tooth was near the sinus area. These precautions are essential to prevent complications. If you’re undergoing tooth removal at a dental clinic in Chiang Mai, always follow your dentist’s instructions to avoid post-treatment issues. 4. When to Contact the Clinic Please contact the clinic promptly if you experience: Continuous bleeding for more than two hours that does not stop with pressure Severe pain that intensifies after 2–3 days (a potential sign of dry socket) Signs of infection such as fever, chills, swelling that worsens, or foul odor or taste Pus discharge from the site Difficulty breathing or swallowing Timely communication with your dental provider is key to a safe recovery.

Dental Implant Placement Surgery

Post-Operative Care Instructions After Dental Implant and Bone Grafting Surgery 1. What to Expect After Surgery After dental implant and bone graft surgery, patients commonly experience mild to moderate discomfort, swelling, or bruising around the surgical site. This typically occurs within the first 24–48 hours. Minor bleeding or oozing is also expected and can usually be managed by biting gently on gauze. Temporary numbness or tingling in the lips, chin, or cheek area may occur, particularly when the lower jaw is involved. These are natural responses during the healing phase of dental implant treatment. At Kitcha Dental Clinic, a leading dental implant clinic in Chiang Mai, our patients receive personalized post-operative care instructions to help ensure safe healing and long-term success of their implants. 2. How to Take Care of Yourself After Surgery Bite down on a gauze pad over the surgical site for 1–2 hours to control bleeding. Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek for 15–20 minutes at a time during the first 24–48 hours. Follow all prescribed medications, including antibiotics and pain relievers, as directed. Avoid excessive talking, chewing on the surgical side, or using removable dentures over the area unless cleared by your dentist. Bring any removable prosthetics or appliances with you to your follow-up visit so the dentist can ensure they do not apply pressure to the surgical area. Consume soft, cool or lukewarm foods (e.g., soup, yogurt, mashed foods); avoid hot, spicy, sticky, or hard items. Brush gently with a soft toothbrush, avoiding the surgical site. Rinse with antiseptic mouthwash or warm saline after meals and before bed. Return to the clinic for scheduled follow-ups and suture removal if needed. Proper care is essential to achieving successful osseointegration (bone healing around the implant), a key phase in dental implant treatment at Kitcha Dental Clinic in Chiang Mai. 3. What to Avoid After Surgery Avoid rinsing or spitting forcefully for the first 24 hours. Do not smoke for at least one week before and after surgery, as this significantly increases the risk of implant failure. Refrain from alcohol and caffeine, which may interfere with healing. Avoid touching the surgical site with your fingers or tongue. Do not wear removable appliances unless specifically permitted by your dentist. Following these precautions supports the healing process and reduces the risk of complications such as infection or peri-implantitis. 4. When to Contact the Clinic Please contact Kitcha Dental Clinic immediately if you notice any of the following: Bleeding that continues after applying pressure for more than two hours Severe pain or swelling that worsens after the third day Signs of infection: fever, chills, pus, or a foul odor Persistent numbness or abnormal sensations beyond 7 days Loose crowns, shifting implants, or clicking sensations at the implant site 5.
