The harm of orthodontic treatment is loosening is the most serious

Nowadays, many people go for orthodontic treatment to improve their appearance. Orthodontic treatment can not only make teeth more neat, but also change the face shape and achieve the effect of slimming the face. Orthodontic treatment is now highly regarded. However, many people are not aware of the dangers of orthodontics. So what are the dangers of orthodontics?

1. Loose teeth are one of the harmful manifestations of orthodontic treatment. Under normal circumstances, each tooth has a certain physiological mobility to buffer chewing pressure and prevent tooth trauma. During orthodontic treatment, teeth become more mobile, 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.

2. Orthodontic treatment may have some impact on the dental pulp. In the early stages of orthodontic treatment, a mild, temporary inflammatory response occurs in the dental pulp, which manifests as pain or discomfort in the first few days when force is applied.

3. The harm of orthodontic treatment also affects the height of the alveolar bone. People who have undergone oral orthodontic treatment will have a small decrease in the height of the alveolar bone. 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 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.
