Is it safe to get braces during pregnancy?
Well, there is no medical reason to avoid orthodontic treatment during pregnancy, but one consideration is that orthodontic treatment often requires the patient to undergo diagnostic oral X-rays. Experts disagree about whether small amounts of radiation can interfere with the rapid cell division and development of the fetus, which could increase the risk of birth defects or disease in the future. However, experts agree that the amount of radiation exposure from dental X-rays is low and not considered harmful to the mother or her fetus.
Benefits of getting braces during pregnancy:
From a medical standpoint, it may be better to get braces during pregnancy, because your teeth may be more likely to move during this time due to pregnancy hormones, and teeth tend to tighten after birth. This phenomenon may be related to the pregnancy hormone relaxin, which relaxes the ligaments in the pelvis to prepare the body for childbirth, and may also loosen the ligaments that hold your teeth to your jaw.
Cons of getting braces during pregnancy:
1. Increased chance of gum disease
2. Restrictions on eating certain foods
3. Feeling uncomfortable
4. Time commitment, as you will need to visit the orthodontist every six to ten weeks and have regular dental checkups at least every six months.
