A Few Techniques

You need to relax before you start the treatment. Stress makes the muscles stiff and disturbs the mind. Both are not good for your treatment. You can try a few techniques to relax.

• Controlled Breathing – Try exercises to control your breathing. This is really good for your health and relaxing the muscles. It will also reduce your heart rate and anxiety.
• Go to your happy place. For obvious reasons, thinking happy thoughts will divert your mind and make you happy and tension-free.
• When the body is exhausted, it automatically tries to cool down. Do not exhaust yourself, but do exercise before visiting your orthodontist as it will make the body cool down, which will coincide during your treatment and relax you.
