Orthodontics is to bond brackets to teeth and exert external force on teeth to achieve the purpose of moving teeth. Dental caries, gingivitis or loose teeth may occur after orthodontic treatment.

First, induce dental caries. It is easy to keep food around the tooth bonding bracket, and it is difficult to remove it in time, which is easy to cause the teeth to fall off the bracket. If not treated in time, it is easy to cause tooth decay.

Second, it leads to dentin hypersensitivity of teeth. After orthodontics, if the oral hygiene is not good, food residue or soft dirt will accumulate around the teeth, causing gingivitis. The gums are red and swollen and easy to bleed, and there is bleeding when brushing your teeth or eating. It is necessary to wash your teeth, rinse your mouth and take medicine in time.

Third, there are loose teeth. After orthodontics, the teeth in the new position do not reach the new dynamic balance and muscle balance, and there will be different degrees of recurrence. If the force applied to the teeth during orthodontic tooth movement is too large, it may cause tooth loosening and root absorption to varying degrees, leading to tooth demineralization, gingival bleeding or root absorption, tooth loosening and other complications.

In the process of orthodontics, patients can clean the tray thoroughly with orthodontic toothbrush to prevent food from remaining around the bracket and causing tooth damage. In addition, pay attention to gingival scaling for six months to one year to prevent plaque and tartar proliferation and prevent gum and alveolar bone damage.
