Dental Case Analysis – Lower Arch Orthodontic Coil Spring for Space Management

Case Overview

This image shows active orthodontic treatment on the lower teeth using a metal coil spring attached to the archwire. Coil springs are commonly used to open or maintain space between teeth as part of alignment, crowding relief, or preparation for future tooth movement. The lips and surrounding soft tissue appear intact.

• Lower anterior teeth visible with orthodontic appliance

Dental Case Analysis – Early Orthodontic Braces in Mixed Dentition

Case Overview

This image shows a young patient undergoing early orthodontic treatment with fixed metal braces on the upper front teeth. The dentition appears to be in a mixed stage, where permanent and developing teeth coexist. Early intervention is commonly used to guide eruption, reduce crowding, and improve alignment during growth.

• Upper anterior teeth fitted with orthodontic brackets

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.

Scale All Teeth

• Upper and lower teeth with orthodontic brackets present

Dental Case Analysis – Localized Inner Cheek Ulcer Associated With Orthodontic Braces

Case Overview

This image shows a patient undergoing orthodontic treatment with fixed braces. A small, localized ulcerated lesion is visible on the inner cheek, clearly marked. The lesion is positioned directly adjacent to orthodontic brackets and wire, suggesting mechanical irritation from braces as the primary contributing factor.
