Orthodontic work okay in pregnancy

X-rays during pregnancy is not advised, UV light might be the same. Discuss this question with your medical practitioner/physician and orthodontist before you start orthodontic treatment.

There have not been any reported risks to a pregnancy as the result of placing or treating patients with orthodontic appliances like braces or a retainer. The concern comes in the beginning during the first trimester, x-rays should be avoided. Radiographs are of the treatment planning but with today's modern equipment risks are minimal. My advice would be to take extra precaution and stay away from UV light in your first trimester.

My sister have some emergency work done when she was pregnant. I think the biggest thing to watch out for is to avoid getting x-rays done. The work itself should be fine.
