Do I have to brush my retainer?

You would never consider going days without brushing your teeth. However, many retainer wearers go for long periods without cleaning these devices.

The same bacteria that build up on teeth can grow on a retainer. As a result, putting an unclean retainer in your mouth is like applying a bacteria and plaque-laden solution to the teeth and gums.

How to clean your retainer?

When brushing teeth, people should brush their retainer as well. 

It is best to use a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-whitening toothpaste. Afterwards, remove the retainer and rinse it thoroughly. People should brush their teeth again after removing the retainer to clean any areas covered by it.

International Women’s Day

International Women’s Day (IWD) is celebrated annually on 8 March to commemorate women’s cultural, political, and socioeconomic achievements.

It is also a focal point in the women’s rights movement, bringing attention to issues such as: Gender Equality,Reproductive Rights, and Violence & Abuse Against Women.

Spurred on by the universal female suffrage movement that had begun in New Zealand, IWD originated from labour movements in North America and Europe during the early 20th century.

.

The theme for International Women’s Day, 8 March 2022 (IWD 2022), recognises the contribution of women and girls worldwide, who are leading the charge on climate change adaptation, mitigation, and response, building a more sustainable future for all.

Advancing gender equality in the context of the climate crisis and disaster risk reduction is one of the greatest global challenges of the 21st century.
The issues of climate change and sustainability have had and will continue to have severe and lasting impacts on our environment, economic and social development.

Women are increasingly being recognised as more vulnerable to climate change impacts than men. This is because they constitute the majority of the worlds poor and are more dependent on the natural resources that climate change threatens the most.

Wear your retainer before your dog does

Pets like dogs and cats love retainers and aligners.


Dogs are attracted by the smell of the materials from which retainers & aligners are made, as well as saliva. With their powerful jaws, dogs can render them useless in no time. Likewise, cats will play with a retainer and can also damage them.
Be Careful with Retainers
There are two places for removable aligners and retainers: in the mouth or in their case. When taken out of the mouth, they should be placed in their case. When taken out of their case, the retainers or aligners should be placed in the mouth.


Do not wrap it in a napkin – they can easily be thrown away with the trash. Please, do not place retainers or aligners in your pocket unless they are in their protective case. Without the case, retainers that are loose in your pocket can be broken.
Contact your orthodontist immediately if they are lost or broken, however, if it does not fit correctly or if eaten by your dog. Remember – you need to wear your retainers or aligner, not your dog.

Gold Silver Bronz Smile

7x Gold, 6x Silver, 7x Bronz, 20x Smile, well done, Team NZ

The New Zealand team (212 athletes, 112 men and 100 women, across twenty-one sports) collected a total of 20 medals, seven gold, six silver and seven bronze. Well done:-) Rowing led the sports with five medals, followed by canoeing with three medals, two medals in each of rugby sevens, cycling and athletics, and one medal in each of sailing, golf, boxing, trampolining, tennis and triathlon. It was the first time New Zealand won medals in trampolining (and gymnastics overall) and tennis.

Sprint canoeist Lisa Carrington won gold medals in the women’s K-1 200 metres, K-1 500 metres and with Caitlin Regal in the K-2 500 metres to become New Zealand’s most successful Olympian with six medals in all, including five gold medals. Rower Emma Twigg claimed the gold medal in the women’s single sculls after finishing fourth in the previous two games. The men’s rowing eight claimed the gold medal for the first time since 1972, with Hamish Bond becoming the first New Zealander to win a gold medal at three successive Olympics. Rowing pair Kerri Gowler and Grace Prendergast won the gold medal in the women’s pair before helping the women’s-eight win the silver medal. The women’s rugby sevens team beat France 26–12 to claim the gold medal.

Look sharp, live smart

The link between smiling & happiness

Smiling is a universal sign of happiness. No matter what country you go to or what culture you take in, smiling is seen as a sign of happiness and acceptance. The main reason for that is because studies have shown that when a person is smiling, it actually affects specific muscles that can make that person feel happy. When you use these particular muscles, your brain will release endorphins, which are brain chemicals that induce feelings of pleasure and euphoria. Smiling truly does have the ability to make you happier.

The smiling man

L’uomo che sorride

(The smiling man)

The real power of man is the smile of the woman sitting next to him.

So everybody knows these guys …

Who’s got an amazing way with the ladies …

And you know what’s funny?

He’s not the tallest or most athletic guy … and doesn’t really dress as well as you do.

But for some reason – women keep on approaching him.

Why?

He has one simple weapon: a great smile.

People take smiling for granted these days – especially with all the fake million-dollar grins we see on TV shows, ads or flyers.

But there’s such a thing as an attractive, genuine smile. 

It lights up the room from a distance and captivates women.

A Smile That Attracts Women!

Save Your Piggy Bank. 

Maybe you have heard about a cheap DIY Aligners Set to achieve a beautiful smile. Sounds good in the first place. 
As specialist orthodontists and dentists, we can not recommend any treatment without an orthodontic specialist’s complete and ongoing support. 
Bachmann Orthodontics like to be as transparent as we can about the costs of orthodontic treatment. However, the fees do vary depending on the individual case and the course of treatment.
When a client decides to go ahead with treatment at Bachmann Orthodontics, we need to take an initial set of records.
This includes two digital x-rays, photos, models, a detailed treatment plan and a follow-up session to discuss treatment options and preferences.

Cost $390

The cost of braces and orthodontics varies depending on individual requirements. Therefore, all clients will need to be assessed by the Bachmann Orthodontics team before we can decide on the types of treatment available to the patient.

At Bachmann Orthodontic, we Offer Payment & Finance Options

  • Lump-sum upfront with a discount offered on the whole package
  • Monthly instalments with NO interest charged

Ages 6 –10

  • Early orthodontic treatment for younger children
  • Space maintainer from $190
  • Plate, RME (upper expander), Partial braces or similar $2000 – $4200

Ages 11+ and adults

  • High-performance Speed brackets (upper & lower): from $9200, minor corrections as low as $3500
  • Invisalign from $2000 (minor corrections only one jaw) maximum $7800 (difficult cases)
  • Incognito (individually German custom made brackets behind your teeth) from $15,000
  • Clear ceramic brackets to improve aesthetics $50 per bracket

The Bachmann Orthodontic package prices cover the full cost of treatment, including all appliances, repairs and will cover all the possible complications.

The costs include the orthodontic treatment and also one year of retention checks afterwards.

As you can see, a DIY Aligners Set isn’t cheaper. What about the result?

Easter Bunny Smile

Many of us will be expecting a visit from the Easter bunny very soon and are looking forward to enjoying a few sweet treats and time with family and friends. During Easter, you want to enjoy the activities, but it’s essential to protect your dental health. With a bit of foresight, you can enjoy sweet treats without spoiling your smile.

However, foods to completely avoid with braces include:

  • popcorn
  • nuts
  • ice
  • chewing gum
  • hard candy
  • chewy candy
  • pizza crust
  • bagels and other hard rolls
  • crunchy vegetables and fruits
  • hard crackers
  • pretzels
  • chips

Whenever you eat something sugary, it feeds bacteria in your mouth, allowing them to produce acid that weakens and damages your tooth enamel, eventually causing cavities. 

So, while the occasional sweet treat is OK, limit yourself to only a few sugary foods and beverages a week.

Above all, make sure you take the time to brush your teeth thoroughly twice daily or more frequently as possible and floss at least once each day.

What can we do to make you smile?

Enjoy your long Happy Easter Weekend

Claudia, Lutz & Team
