Annotation:

The demand for orthodontic treatment, particularly using fixed orthodontic appliances (FOA), is rapidly increas- ing worldwide. The high prevalence of malocclusions and their impact on patients’ quality of life underscore the relevance of this issue. However, despite their effectiveness, the use if FOA can lead to significant changes in the oral mucosa (OM). The aim of this review article is to systematize current data on the demand for and prevalence of orthodontic treatment with fixed orthodontic appliances – the global and national perspectives on its impact on quality of life – as well as to analyze the spectrum of pathological changes in the oral mucosa associated with the use of these appliances. An analysis of global and national literature confirms that malocclusions have a high prevalence and significantly affect patients’ psychosocial state, self-esteem, and social activity. FOA treatment effectively improves these indica- tors. At the same time, the use of FOA is often accompanied by mechanical, inflammatory, and proliferative changes in the OM. Studies indicate a high frequency of traumatic injuries, hypertrophic gingivitis, and reactive proliferation which necessitate constant clinical monitoring and a multidisciplinary approach. The high need for orthodontic care is evident, but its provision requires considering the potential risks to the state of the OM. Regular monitoring appliance adaptation, and interdisciplinary collaboration are key to ensuring patient safety and comfort, which significantly enhances the effectiveness and success of the treatment.
