Abstract

Fixed orthodontic treatment with bracket systems is a fundamental method for correcting malocclusion and improving dental aesthetics and function. Despite its clinical effectiveness, brackets, archwires, ligatures, and auxiliary elements frequently cause mechanical irritation of the oral mucosa. This may result in pain, inflammation, traumatic ulcers, and reduced patient compliance. Prevention of mucosal injury is essential for successful orthodontic outcomes. This article provides a comprehensive review of etiology, risk factors, clinical manifestations, and modern preventive strategies.
