“…Oral microbiota alterations registered in orthodontic patients appear to be consistent with the modifications occurring in patients with poor oral hygiene presenting gingivitis and/or periodontal diseases. In addition, orthodontic devices could represent a direct risk factor for periodontal diseases as they are often related to an increase in periodontopathogenic species [24,34,43,44,48]. However, it seems reasonable to state that the susceptibility of each subject, as well as other factors that may alter the biofilm balance, may play a key role in determining the entity of periodontal sequelae.…”

Background: Oral microbiota has been at the center of cultural attention in recent years. In daily clinical practice, orthodontic appliances may be associated with an increased cariogenic risk and a worsening of preexisting periodontal diseases.Objective: The purpose of this review is to investigate the available evidence regarding the association between orthodontic appliances and changes in the quality and quantity of the oral microbiota.Design: The research included every article published up to October 2017 featuring the keywords ‘Orthodontic appliance* AND (microbiological colonization OR periodontal pathogen* OR Streptococcus mutans OR Lactobacillus spp. OR Candida OR Tannerella forsythia OR Treponema denticola OR Fusobacterium nucleatum OR Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans OR Prevotella intermedia OR Prevotella nigrescens OR Porphyromonas gingivalis)’ and was conducted in the major medical databases. The methodological quality of selected papers was scored using the ‘Swedish Council on Technology Assessment in Health Care Criteria for Grading Assessed Studies’ (SBU) method.Results: Orthodontic appliances influence the oral microbiota with an increase in the counts of S. mutans and Lactobacillus spp. and in the percentage of potentially pathogenic gram-negative bacteria.Conclusions: There is moderate/high evidence regarding the association between orthodontic appliances and changes in the oral microbiota.PROSPERO registration number CRD42018091589.

“…Thornberg et al [20] conducted an analysis of 190 subgingival plaque samples in orthodontically treated patients in 5 study periods (the mean age of the subjects was 13 years and 6 months). The subgingival plaque samples were collected before the treatment was started, after 3 months of treatment, after 6 months and after 12 months of treatment and after approximately 3 months of the fixed appliance removal.…”

Dental plaque is considered one of the factors inducing oral cavity diseases such as caries, periodontitis, gingivitis and peri-implantitis. Treatment with orthodontic appliances is related to a change of physiological properties within the oral cavity. Hampered hygiene as well as an increased number of retentive sites result in increased accumulation of dental plaque as well as a slowing down of the spontaneous physiological processes of tooth cleaning. As a consequence, so-called orthodontic biofilm occurs that creates a range relation with other structures of the oral cavity. For over 100 years, research has been conducted aimed at an explanation of the influence of bacteria on the etiopathogenesis of periodontal diseases. Many authors have stated that changes in periodontal tissues might occur during orthodontic treatment. There are few publications referring to young children (9-14 years of age); the number of comparisons of patients treated with fixed and removable orthodontic appliances are also scarce. The objective of this paper is an attempted answer to the question whether orthodontic appliances may affect the number of bacteria which cause periodontal diseases? (Dent. Med. Probl. 2016, 53, 1, 118-124).
