What are the side effects of dental braces

When some people find that their teeth are not right, they will use orthodontic treatment. The treatment effect of this method is very good, so more and more people have introduced this correction method. However, everything has two sides. Orthodontic treatment will also have some side effects on the body. So let us take a detailed look at the side effects of dental braces.

First, what are the side effects of braces? Teeth become loose: During orthodontic treatment, teeth become more loose, which is a normal reaction. For teeth to move, the alveolar bone and periodontal ligament need to be reconstructed, because the teeth are fixed in the alveolar bone by the periodontal ligament, so the teeth will become loose. However, after the teeth are corrected to their normal position and stop moving, the teeth can use their own repair ability to reattach the periodontal membrane and become stable without permanent damage.

Second, the impact on the tooth roots: This is a relatively common hazard of orthodontics. This is because during orthodontics, reconstruction activities such as absorption and proliferation also occur on the surface of the tooth roots. After treatment, the tooth root will return to normal through its own repair ability, but if the treatment force is too great, the risk of root resorption will increase.

Third, the impact on the alveolar bone height: it is a potential hazard to orthodontics. For people who have undergone orthodontic treatment, the height of the alveolar bone will decrease slightly. This is because wearing braces makes it difficult to maintain oral hygiene, increases the chance of gingivitis, and has a certain impact on the alveolar bone. After the orthodontic treatment is completed, the alveolar bone will no longer continue to be absorbed. If oral hygiene is maintained well, the alveolar bone will gradually return to normal.

What are the side effects of dental braces? Strictly speaking, tooth correction has certain side effects, but the side effects of orthodontic treatment are very mild, and the significant treatment effect is the main thing. Impact on the dental pulp: In the early stages of correction, the patient may feel pain or discomfort in the first few days, but this does not affect the vitality of the dental pulp.
