　　One. Dangers of orthodontics

　　The main hazards of orthodontics are:

　　1. Cause tooth surface demineralization or caries: After wearing fixed appliances, the tooth surface is easily attached by food residues or soft scale, which is difficult to clean, and under the influence of cariogenic bacteria, acidic substances will be generated, resulting in tooth surface demineralization or caries.

　　2. Affect the appearance: due to the impaction of dietary fiber, the gums are swollen and bleeding, resulting in a decrease in the degree of periodontal adhesions, resulting in a black triangle, which affects the appearance.

　　3. Tilt or displacement of teeth: Excessive orthodontic force will cause tilting and displacement of teeth, resulting in root absorption, and in severe cases, loosening of teeth.

　　4. TMJ Disorder Syndrome: When there is a high occlusion between the upper and lower teeth, it will cause occlusal disorder, thus causing TMJ Dysregulation Syndrome.

　　5. Other hazards: If the teeth are too tilted, it may cause the plaque on the gums to move under the gums, which will lead to the occurrence of periodontal disease and even the resorption of alveolar bone. The buccal plate is too thin and shifts towards the lip of the posterior teeth, causing bone cracks or bone holes.

　　Two. What can I eat during orthodontics?

　　During the correction process, you can eat more porridge, egg custard, milk, tofu, noodles, chaos, bread and other foods that are easy to chew and digest, and try not to bite your teeth to avoid loosening the aligners. Try not to eat hard things, such as nuts, pots, hard candies, shells, shrimps and crabs, etc., so as not to cause the appliance to loosen, the arch wire to deform and break, which will affect the progress of orthodontic treatment and prolong the orthodontic treatment time.

　　When eating fruits such as apples, pears, peaches, and cantaloupe, you can cut them into small pieces and chew them slowly with your back teeth. You can also eat some foods that are rich in vitamin C, such as mangoes, lemons, oranges, grapes, etc.

　　Be careful not to eat foods high in sugar during the orthodontic process, these foods do not cause immediate tooth pain, but over time, there is a high chance that a variety of dental problems will occur, which are easily overlooked during the orthodontic process. For example, sugar, cola, juice, biscuits, etc., can cause tooth decay. During the orthodontic process, you should not eat foods high in sugar, because during the orthodontic process, it is likely that enamel demineralization will occur, which will affect the orthodontic treatment. You can eat more low-sugar foods, such as oats, spinach, bitter gourd, tofu, etc.
