Abstract
Description
Orthodontics has the potential to cause significant
damage to hard and soft tissues. The most
important aspect of orthodontic care is to have a
high standard of oral hygiene before and during
orthodontic treatment.Root resorption is a
common complication during orthodontic
treatment but there is some evidence that once
appliances are removed this resorption stops. Soft
tissue damage includes that caused by archwires
but also the more harrowing potential for
headgears to cause damage to eyes. It is essential
that adequate safety measures are included with
this type of treatment
