Description
Sebastian Szajkowski, Jaroslaw Pasek, and Grzegorz Cieslar report a 2024 study on the jaw muscles after teeth are straightened with fixed braces. Braces shift bite force as teeth move, and that force rests on how the chewing muscles work. Whether months of fixed braces leave those muscles changed in their spring and tone was not clear.
The study tested 37 people who wore fixed braces for about a year, against 37 who had no such care. A device that taps the muscle and reads its response gave measures of tension, stiffness, and spring on both sides. After treatment, none of those measures split the two groups in a way that counts. The team reads the result as a sign that fixed braces are safe for the chewing muscles.
