Benefits

• Allows the teeth to function properly while eating and speaking.
• Moves teeth into proper alignment to achieve better aesthetics.
• Orthodontic care results in better acclusion (bite) which is beneficial in cases of wear or trauma to the teeth and jaw joints (TMJs).

Risks

• Decalcification, decay, or localized gum disease around the bands or brackets due to inadequate oral hygiene.
• Root resorption (blunting or shortening of the roots)
• TMJ pain or dysfunction.
• Possible relapse (shifting of teeth) after removal of appliances.
• Ideal results may not be attainable without surgery.

Consequences Of No Treatment

• Malpositioned teeth are more difficult to clean, and consequently are more vulnerable to decay, decalcification, and localized gum disease.
• Malpositioned teeth can accelerate wear and tear on the teeth, supporting bone and the TMJ (jaw joint).
