Orthodontics itself has no effect on pregnancy, but before orthodontic treatment, orthodontists need to use X-ray examination to determine the abnormality of teeth in order to clarify the specific conditions of teeth. Although the radiation of X-ray examination is very small at this stage, and certain protection will be done during the examination, but for those who are preparing for pregnancy, they must inform the doctor before X-ray examination. The doctor will assess the risk and decide whether to carry out orthodontic treatment. If pregnancy is found during correction, it will hardly cause adverse effects on pregnant women. If you are worried about affecting normal eating and unable to make the fetus obtain adequate nutrition, you can temporarily terminate the correction and wear tooth retainers to maintain the correction effect.
