If you or your child is undergoing orthodontic treatment and begins to experience symptoms like itching, swelling, redness, or a rash around the mouth or on the skin near the braces, it could be a sign of an allergic reaction to the materials used. While most orthodontic appliances are made from safe, hypoallergenic materials, some people may still react to metals like nickel, latex, or certain types of adhesives. The first step is to recognize the signs. Common symptoms include a sore or irritated mouth, dry or flaky skin around the lips, a burning sensation, 鐘ヶ淵 歯列矯正 or even difficulty breathing in rare cases. If you suspect an allergy, stop using any removable appliances immediately and contact your orthodontist.

Your orthodontist will likely ask about your medical history and may refer you to an allergist for testing.
