Abstract:

During orthodontic treatment, the existence of orthodontic appliances and residual adhesives, as well as the resultant difficulty in oral hygiene, can lead to enamel demineralization, which is one of the most common side effects of orthodontics. Orthodontic enamel demineralization is often manifested as chalky spots on the labial surface of teeth, which can not only negatively affect dental appearance and reduce orthodontic patients’ satisfaction but also result in ca-ries and jeopardize oral health in severe cases. Improving our understanding of enamel demineralization’s risk factors and phenotypic characteristics is crucial to promote precise prevention and control of orthodontic enamel demineralization. This review aims to summarize the recent literature regarding risk factors of orthodontic enamel demineralization. It focuses on the association between orthodontic enamel demineralization and tooth position, oral hygiene, dietary habits, treatment time, type of appliances, changes in microflora, and 6-n-propylthiouracil individual taste sensitivity.

Key words: orthodontic treatment, enamel demine-ralization, risk factor, precision medicine
