Description
Braces straighten teeth but disturb the mouth's microbes, raising the risk of white spots, cavities, and gum disease. Niu and co-authors review how the oral microbiome shifts during orthodontic treatment and what is being done to fight back.
The review first describes the mouth's habitats, saliva, soft tissue, and tooth surfaces, and the communities each carries. Drawing on studies since 2014, it then traces how those communities change in saliva, plaque, and other niches once appliances go in, since harder cleaning and altered surfaces favor harmful species. A final section surveys antimicrobial advances built into modern appliances. The authors aim to give researchers a clear picture of the mechanisms and a direction for safer appliance design.
