After marpe PLACEMENT Care Guide

1. Brush gently, especially around the screws and appliance, using a soft toothbrush.
2. Use a soft interdental brush to clean between appliance and teeth. Waterfloss can be a good alternative!
3. Antiseptic mouth rinse (e.g. prescribed chlorhexidine or other) to reduce risk of infection.
4. Rinse after meals to remove food debris.
5. Avoid mouthwashes with alcohol (if sensitive).

• Stick to soft, easy-to chew foods for the first few days: soups, mashed potatoes, yoghurt, smoothies.
• Avoid hard, tough, crunchy, or sticky foods (nuts, hard candy, ice, crusty bread) that can stress the appliance or irritate tissues.
• Cut foods into small pieces, chew slowly.
• Stay hydrated; cold drinks can help soothe soreness.

Most patients adjust well to their MARPE, but if you notice any of these signs, please contact the clinic right away:

1. Severe pain that does not improve after a few days or suddenly worsens.
2. Bleeding that won’t stop or starts without brushing or touching.
3. Swelling, redness, or pus around the miniscrews.
4. Bad smell or taste coming from around the appliance.
5. Loose miniscrews — if they feel wobbly or moving.
6. Appliance feels broken or bent.
7. Fever, facial swelling, or difficulty swallowing/breathing (rare but urgent).

1. Brush gently twice daily + use interdental/proxy brush.
2. Rinse after meals; saltwater rinses can help.
3. Soft diet for a few days; avoid hard/sticky foods.
4. Do activations only as shown and scheduled.
5. Call us for severe pain, signs of infection, or if a screw is loose.
6. Attend all follow-ups.
