A lot of people, especially those who are in their teenage years, subject themselves to orthodontic treatment as it improved not only their biting ability, but it also enhances their physical appearance. Wearing braces or retainers progressively align and straighten their teeth, widen the dental arch and help place the teeth in a new position. However, wearing orthodontics poses health risks too, apart from the uncomfortable pain it brings to the one wearing it. Such adverse effects usually result to tooth decay and / or tooth loss.
