Despite their benefits, bracing can present several challenges:
Compliance: Ensuring that children wear their braces as recommended can be difficult, especially if they find the braces uncomfortable. Skin Irritation: Prolonged use of braces can lead to skin irritation, sores, or pressure points. Psychosocial Impact: Wearing braces can affect a child's self-esteem and social interactions. Growth Considerations: As children grow, braces need to be adjusted or replaced to ensure proper fit and function.
