What is root blunting?!
Question: caused by my braces
Answers: caused by my braces
Root blunting associated with braces tends to occur when the teeth are moved faster than the body can tolerate. Blunting refers to shortening of the tooth's root beneath the gum line. As individual tolerances vary greatly, this cannot always be avoided. It is not reversible. The quality of the remaining roots, and the amount of future strain that is to be placed on the teeth will influence the long term prognosis. If the blunting is mild, it may have little impact. If severe, it can jeopardize the affected teeth in the long run.
