The following information is based on an article about potential damage
from orthodontic treatment. The new discoveries have recently been
published in a respected dental journal on cosmetic dentistry. The news
is very exciting for dentists who offer 'shorter term braces' or faster orthodontics and patients
who prefer this treatment alternative. It contains information which
will be controversial.

orthodontics may be associated with less risk of damage to the teeth
than traditional braces where treatment time has not always been
considered to be a concern.
The doctors who learn this type of treatment style are educated to question many of the old school beliefs that often keep people in braces longer than actually necessary.
