“How Diet Affects an Orthodontic Treatment Outcome”- A Review
Journal Title: International Journal of Research and Review - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
The development of the oral cavity and its structures is influenced by the nutritional state of an individual and both deficiencies and toxicities may cause malformations. Good nutrition can maximize while poor nutrition can undermine the appropriate biological response of the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone to orthodontic forces. While orthodontists will rarely see frank manifestations of nutritional deficiencies, it should be recognized that suboptimal levels of certain nutrients are common and have an effect on the biologic responses of the tissues influenced by orthodontic treatment. A basic understanding of nutrition as well as good guidance and communication skills, will help orthodontic practitioners to improve their orthodontic outcomes in addition to helping improve the quality of life of their patients.
