Can i get braces while pregnant?
Find the answer in the article
Pregnancy is a wonderful and special period in a woman’s life. Pregnant women ask themselves: “Can I wear braces if I’m pregnant?”
There are no contraindications for fixing the braces during pregnancy. But there are certain difficulties, which we will discuss in this article.
Let’s consider two situations:
- braces before pregnancy
- braces during pregnancy
Will you be a mother soon? Schedule a visit to the dentist.
During pregnancy, great changes occur in a woman’s body, teeth deteriorate (inflammation and bleeding of the gums) due to a decrease in immunity, hormonal changes, lack of vitamins, iron, etc.
Prevention is the best solution. Therefore, before planning a pregnancy, visit the dentist, make sure everything is in order, and follow the prescribed dental procedures.
I’m already pregnant. Can I wear braces?
Are you pregnant and want to start orthodontic treatment? Choose the orthodontic appliance that will allow you to perform quality oral hygiene.
OLA aligners are known as the most suitable mobile orthodontic appliance. You remove the aligners before eating and brushing your teeth. With OLA you won’t have dietary restrictions, i.e. you can eat whatever you want. Pregnancy is a special and busy period, and with OLA aligners you have fewer visits to the orthodontist, once every 3-4 months. Learn about OLA Aligners!
Brackets are a fixed orthodontic appliance. Dentus Dentino offers you several types of brackets, depending on your preferences and lifestyle. If you opt for an aesthetic appearance, then we recommend sapphire brackets, ceramic brackets or lingual brackets (100% invisible).
Ceramic/sapphire brackets are made of transparent material.
Lingual brackets are fitted to the back of the teeth so that they are completely invisible. Learn about all types of Brackets!
Expert doctors agree that there is no reason to avoid orthodontic treatment during pregnancy.
The orthodontic appliance is completely safe during pregnancy. But complications arise when necessary:
- X-ray of teeth. As an added precaution, your orthodontist will cover your abdomen during the x-ray. Thus, the developing fetus will not be directly affected. If pregnancy is complicated, first trimester dental x-rays should be avoided. II and III trimesters are favorable periods for panoramic radiography.
- Removal of wisdom teeth. There is no exact answer. It depends on the individual case of each woman. You can schedule wisdom teeth removal after your baby is born. And if the situation is difficult, accompanied by pain and discomfort, then the dentist will remove them as soon as possible.
- Treatment of caries. During the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, dental treatment is not recommended. In the second trimester of pregnancy, dental therapy is allowed (treatment of caries, endodontic treatment, professional dental hygiene, etc.).
- you can continue the orthodontic treatment
- you can fix the braces during pregnancy
Save these tips to make the best decision!
- Whether you want to get braces before or during pregnancy, we recommend that you consult with your obstetrician and orthodontist to evaluate the risks and benefits of wearing braces. Each case is unique, so the advice and individual orthodontic treatment plan may vary depending on the situation.
- Maintain rigorous oral hygiene. Dental health can be affected during pregnancy: the sensitivity of the gums increases, the risk of cavities, dental erosion, etc. Therefore, make sure you brush your teeth qualitatively, gently, twice a day and floss.
- Avoid excessive consumption of acidic foods and drinks. Rinse your mouth with water immediately after consuming them.
Straightening the teeth with brackets or aligners can bring many benefits, such as improving dental health and dental aesthetics. However, before starting an orthodontic treatment during pregnancy, it is important to consider all the recommendations and advice of the specialist doctor.
