Side effects and hazards of cosmetic dentistry include increased tooth movement, decreased alveolar bone height, tooth pain, root resorption, and endodontic reactions.
The essence of orthodontic treatment is to move the teeth to the correct position under the action of force in order to achieve a balanced, stable and aesthetic relationship. Therefore, there will be certain side effects and hazards in the orthodontic process, the alveolar bone will occur in the inner bone, the outer broken bone, bone remodeling process will increase the degree of tooth looseness. Inflammation of the gingiva can occur when oral hygiene is not maintained properly, which has a certain effect on the height of the alveolar bone.
Orthodontic forces are applied to the teeth, causing some degree of mechanical irritation and tooth pain. Sometimes root resorption occurs, and the length of the tooth root becomes shorter, including progressive resorption and idiopathic resorption, the former mostly occurs in the root of the tooth, and the root of the tooth becomes short and obtuse; the latter may be an abnormality of the individual’s own bone metabolism.
After the teeth are subjected to certain orthodontic force, the blood vessels in the apical part of the tooth root are compressed, the pulp tissue can be mildly congested, and pulp reaction occurs, and sometimes the pulp vitality may be decreased, which can be recovered after the completion of orthodontic treatment in general.
Orthodontic need to go to a regular hospital, generally can avoid or reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions.
