Five Types of People Who Should Not Undergo Dental Orthodontic Treatment
I am an 18-year-old female. My teeth don't look good, and I want to undergo orthodontic treatment. I would like to ask, which five types of people are not suitable for dental orthodontics?
Doctor's answer (1)
Orthodontic treatment is a common dental procedure that helps improve tooth alignment and correct bite issues. However, not everyone is suitable for orthodontic treatment. The following five groups of people should carefully consider orthodontic treatment:
1. Individuals with poor oral health: If severe periodontal disease, cavities, or other oral infections are present, orthodontic treatment may worsen the condition.
2. Individuals at high risk for periodontal disease: Some people may be more prone to developing periodontal disease due to genetic factors or lifestyle habits.
3. Individuals with underdeveloped jawbones: Adolescents are still undergoing skeletal development, and early orthodontic treatment may affect normal jawbone growth.
4. Individuals with compromised general health: People suffering from certain systemic diseases, such as heart disease, blood disorders, or immune system diseases, may need to avoid or delay orthodontic treatment.
5. Pregnant women: Due to hormonal changes during pregnancy that may affect periodontal health, and to avoid potential radiation exposure.
If any physical discomfort or symptoms occur, please seek medical attention promptly.
