What is the care of Quad Helix?
Patients must not play with the wire or pick at it. Hard, sticky, or brittle foods such as Jolly Ranchers, Gummy Bears, Now or Laters, Skittles, Taffy or ice will destroy the wire resulting in discomfort and added expense. These types of things must not be put in the patient’s mouth at all. Carrots, apples, steak, pizza, or similar foods, should be cut into small pieces before being chewed. Teeth should be brushed and flossed in the usual manner.
