装着について

	Can the device be used while the person is having orthodontic treatment?
	Yes, it can. If the orthodontic device is inserted on the outside of the teeth, pull the handle slightly forward while keeping the mouth closed tightly. The use of Patakara can increase lip closing strength and it can prevent orthodontic treatment relapse. And the significant increase in saliva while using can also protect the oral cavity from being easily damaged from friction by the orthodontic treatment device.
