Dental Case Analysis – Orthodontic Braces With Elastic Chains and Plaque Accumulation

Case Overview

This close-up image shows fixed orthodontic braces with elastic chains (power chains) engaged across multiple brackets. Elastic chains are commonly used to close spaces and consolidate tooth alignment. Mild plaque accumulation is visible around brackets and wire, which is typical during active orthodontic phases and requires focused hygiene.

Dental Case Analysis – Multiple Inner Cheek Sores Related to Orthodontic Braces

Case Overview

This intra-oral image shows a patient undergoing orthodontic treatment with fixed braces. Two small, localized lesions are visible on the inner cheek, both circled. Their position directly adjacent to brackets and archwire suggests repetitive mechanical irritation from orthodontic appliances.
