🚫Beware of DIY Braces!❌
Sharing with you a case of a “DIY braces/Fashion braces” victim having complaints of mobile teeth, bleeding gums, bad breath and teeth misalignment. Upon oral examination, patient’s teeth and gums are severly suffering from improper orthodontic mechanics. Significant bone loss was also observed through patient’s Xray. Fortunately, the case was still manageable. If it was left untreated, it could’ve gone worse. Props to the patient for being honest and cooperative. We’re still a long way to go yet there’re some major progress already. 🙌🏻
🚨This is a reminder to everyone that only licensed Dentists are allowed to practice orthodontics.‼️
