Can I do sports during treatment with orthodontics?
Yes, there isn’t any problem with doing sports while in treatment. Just the sports, in which there is a chance of getting hurt in the face, should be avoided as much as possible or a mouth protector should be used. If the patient is using removable braces, he should take out the orthodontic appliance before sports.

Can I have orthodontics using invisible braces?
If the abnormalities of your teeth are not severe, invisible orthodontics can also be used, because invisible appliances are made from ceramic and don’t have the capability of metal appliances. By invisible orthodontics, we mean when tooth-colored braces and wires are used or when braces are applied at the back of the teeth, which is called “lingual orthodontics”.

Dr. Hadi Darvishpour :
Hi. It’s better not to smoke for the sake of the health of your teeth, because since you have braces on your teeth, the risk of tooth decay increases as a result of poor oral hygiene during the orthodontic treatment.
