Greetings to everyone, this week, I will try to explain in more detail a subject that has received many questions and wondered. Do the fixed apparatus (wires, brackets, bands, etc.) used during orthodontic treatment cause any damage to the teeth? and after studies, it is produced with many approvals and is used very widely around the world. A specialist orthodontist should pay attention to these indispensable criteria in material selection. In other words, these materials used do not have any harmful effects on health by themselves.
Let's come to the increase in caries risk in orthodontic treatments. Dental caries is a very common problem in society, which occurs as a result of the combination of certain factors. Nutritional habits, genetic factors and oral hygiene habits are the main factors in the formation of caries.
As a result of feeding with dense sugary food and not performing tooth brushing in sufficient time and properly, cavities will appear on the teeth at the end of a certain time.
When we look at people who have orthodontic treatment, the areas where food residues will hold in the mouth have increased and cleaning these indented areas requires a better tooth brushing process. In cases where this is not applied, an increase in caries risks can be observed. Especially, carbohydrate-heavy diet and drinking acidic and sugary drinks are factors that increase the risk of caries. p>
Of course, the only way to prevent this situation is to brush your teeth with the right technique and for a longer time. No cavities occur during these treatments in people who have a good habit of brushing their teeth before starting the treatment. A good brush gained during treatment The habit of squeezing continues for many years, and if this habit is gained especially in childhood, oral health is preserved for many years without any problems thanks to the teeth that have been corrected with orthodontic treatment. cases where care is seen.
