Abstract
- This article discusses the role of orthodontic treatment in preventing traumatic dental injuries (TDI). The article highlights that certain malocclusions, such as increased overjet and lip incompetence, can increase the risk of TDI, particularly in young boys and girls. Early orthodontic intervention through the use of braces or removable appliances can help reposition the teeth and reduce the likelihood of dental injuries. Scientific reviews support the effectiveness of early orthodontic treatment in reducing the incidence of dental trauma. However, other factors should also be considered when deciding whether to initiate orthodontic treatment at a young age. [Extracted from the article]
