What are the hazards of orthodontics in informal clinics? Mainly includes:
1, Tooth loosening: Under normal circumstances, each tooth has certain physiological activity in order to buffer chewing pressure and prevent tooth injury. During the orthodontic treatment, the tooth looseness increases, which is a normal reaction. Moving teeth needs to rebuild alveolar bone and periodontal ligament, because teeth are fixed in alveolar bone through periodontal ligament, so teeth will become loose. However, after the teeth are corrected to the normal position and stop moving, the teeth can reattach the periodontal ligament through their own repair ability, and become stable without causing permanent damage.
2. Effect on the root: This is a common harm in orthodontics, because the root surface is also undergoing reconstruction activities such as absorption and proliferation during orthodontics. After treatment, the root will return to normal by its own repair ability, but if the treatment force is too large, it will increase the risk of root absorption.
3. Influence on alveolar bone height: It is a potential hazard of orthodontics. After orthodontic treatment, the height of alveolar bone will be slightly reduced. This is because wearing orthodontic appliances makes oral hygiene difficult to maintain, increases the chance of gingivitis, and has a certain impact on alveolar bone. After orthodontic treatment, alveolar bone will not continue to be absorbed. If good oral hygiene is maintained, alveolar bone will gradually return to normal.
4. Effect on dental pulp: At the initial stage of orthodontic treatment, the dental pulp has mild and temporary inflammatory reaction, which shows that the patient has pain or discomfort in the first few days after stress, but the experiment proves that the harm of orthodontic treatment has no clinical significance.
