The only way to straighten crooked teeth is with braces. But what to do if you want beautiful and functional teeth, but are afraid of all the risks that braces carry? Let's take a look at the ones most commonly associated with braces and set the record straight.
One of the most common risks during orthodontic treatment with fixed braces is enamel decalcification, which can lead to white spots or tooth decay. This can be caused by more difficult hygiene around the brackets, where food debris and plaque can easily build up.
How to prevent this? Set aside enough time every day to practice good oral hygiene. Use interdental brushes and mouthwash. If you choose removable, invisible braces, your teeth will be much easier to clean. This will minimize the risk of enamel damage.

During orthodontic treatment, hormonal changes or poor hygiene can cause swelling, redness or bleeding gums. Gingivitis can develop into more serious problems if not addressed early and appropriately.
How to prevent this? Regular check-ups at the dentist and professional teeth cleaning are the key. And similar to risk #1, choosing invisible braces that are easy to take off before brushing can make it easier to prevent these complications.
In some cases, prolonged pressure on the teeth during orthodontic treatment can cause the roots of the teeth to shorten. This phenomenon, called root resorption, is usually minimal, but in rare cases it can affect the stability of the tooth.
How to prevent this? Go to the orthodontist for regular check-ups. If you're undergoing treatment with invisible braces from Braces World, you'll get Invisalign Lens at home, download the Virtual Care app, and your dental check-ups will be even more thorough and easier.
Once orthodontic treatment is complete, there is a risk that the teeth will return to their original position -no matter which braces you choose. Teeth simply take time to get used to their new position. If you don't wear retention braces as directed by your orthodontist, your efforts may be wasted during treatment.
How to prevent this? Wear retention splints consistently and have regular check-ups.
