Abstract

The oral microbiome plays an important role in human health, and an imbalance of the oral microbiome could lead to oral and systemic diseases. Orthodontic treatment is an effective method to correct malocclusion. However, it is associated with many adverse effects, including white spot lesions, caries, gingivitis, periodontitis, halitosis, and even some systematic diseases. Undoubtedly, increased difficulty in oral hygiene maintenance and oral microbial disturbances are the main factors in developing these adverse effects. The present article briefly illustrates the characteristics of different ecological niches (including saliva, soft tissue surfaces of the oral mucosa, and hard tissue surfaces of the teeth) inhabited by oral microorganisms. According to the investigations conducted since 2014, we comprehensively elucidate the alterations of the oral microbiome in saliva, dental plaque, and other ecological niches after the introduction of orthodontic appliances. Finally, we provide a detailed review of recent advances in the antimicrobial properties of different orthodontic appliances. This article will provide researchers with a profound understanding of the underlying mechanisms of the effects of orthodontic appliances on human health and provide direction for further research on the antimicrobial properties of orthodontic appliances.
