Let's answer the first question first.

1. Can I get pregnant during orthodontics?

During orthodontic treatment, we may become pregnant unexpectedly for a number of reasons. During this period, pregnancy or trying to conceive will not affect the development of the fetus. The changes in female hormones during pregnancy may limit the movement of teeth, which will affect the development of the fetus and affect the effect of orthodontics. So the doctor's answer is generally yes, but it is not recommended.

2. What should I do if I become pregnant during orthodontic treatment?

If you become pregnant unexpectedly during orthodontic treatment, please contact your doctor in time, so that your doctor can determine whether your orthodontic treatment can be continued according to your situation and adjust your treatment plan.

In general, the oral cavity is in good condition and there is no abnormality, and the doctor will reduce the pressure on the braces so that the treatment can continue.And doctors won't perform tooth extractions and anesthesia during pregnancy.

Orthodontic precautions during pregnancy:

1) Tell your doctor promptly

2) Pay attention to oral hygiene

3) Pay attention to your diet, do not eat too hard or too sticky food
