Braces may or may not be harmful, such as foreign body sensation, pain, and aesthetic disruption, and may have some benefits, such as protecting teeth and improving symptoms of malocclusion.
Often when a patient is in the initial stages of wearing braces, irritation around the braces may cause uncomfortable symptoms, a relatively noticeable foreign body sensation, and interfere with speech. If the braces are too tight when the patient wears them, they may cause symptoms such as pain and may also affect personal aesthetics.
In general, braces can effectively relieve symptoms such as misalignment and malocclusion, as well as protect the teeth and alleviate symptoms such as facial incongruity caused by malocclusion.
Patients with dental problems are advised to seek timely medical attention and wear braces in a regular hospital to avoid adverse effects.
