Braces can be used to correct teeth, improve chewing, prevent dental caries to a certain extent, and more importantly, make the face more dignified, but the process of correction is very painful. As we all know, wearing braces is actually using braces to slowly increase the pressure on teeth and make the position of teeth look neat. Generally speaking, if you want to wear braces, you have to wear them for a year or two. The older you get, the longer you need to wear it. Even if you are correcting them, you should wear the retainer for a long time.
What's wrong with wearing braces during pregnancy?
The biggest problem after wearing braces is oral hygiene, because usually the food eaten after wearing braces is easy to get stuck under the braces. If these food residues are not removed in time, it is easy to cause dental plaque. Because of pregnancy, pregnant women are more sensitive to dental plaque under the action of high estrogen. If they are not careful, they are prone to gingivitis, periodontitis and gingival hyperplasia, and their teeth are more susceptible to acid corrosion than ever before. If you wear braces during pregnancy, it will be more difficult to clean your teeth, so pregnant women are prone to oral infections.
