Is There a Risk in Otodontic Treatment?
Orthodontic treatment, like any treatment, can cause some problems if not applied correctly. These problems often occur in the form of not getting the desired result. The teeth are always straightened to the satisfaction of the patients. However, the experience and expertise of the physician is important in order to complete the case with 100% success. What our patients should do before starting the treatment is to research the competence and experience of the physician they go to, and if necessary, obtain information about their physician from the ministry of health, dentists' room or the professional associations they are affiliated with.
Another problem that may arise in orthodontic treatments is the formation of dental caries as a result of not performing regular dental care. There is a belief among the people that braces cause caries. This has been scientifically proven to be wrong. It's not the wires that rot the teeth, it's the food scraps. The wires only accelerate the accumulation of food. The orthodontist will definitely inform about the care of braces. In addition, if the patient's dental care is not good enough, the orthodontist will not start treatment.
At the end of orthodontic treatment, the deterioration of teeth (relapse) is not a complication. Although there are some measures to prevent this situation, recurrence can occur. Each patient has a different relapse character. At the end of the treatment, your doctor will take precautions against recurrence by applying special reinforcement methods for you.
