Abstract

After Orthodontic treatment, it's just as crucial to restore a healthy and normal tooth structure as it is to achieve the aims of Orthodontics. Orthodontic treatment has the potential to cause some damage to dental enamel. Orthodontists should make every effort to minimize damage to dental tooth enamel. These enamel lesions, such as white spot lesions, are managed first by developing appropriate dental hygiene habits and prophylaxis with topical fluorides, high-fluoride toothpaste, fluoride mouthwashes, gels, varnishes, fluoride-containing bonding materials, fluoride-containing luting cement, and fluorides in elastomers. Other materials and treatments include casein phosphopeptides-amorphous calcium phosphate, probiotics, carbamide peroxide, polyols, sealants, microabrasion, resin infiltration, antiseptics, and lasers, have recently been recommended. This article reviews the current information regarding the various materials used to manage enamel demineralization and promote remineralization during and after orthodontic treatment.
