Children and teenagers with orthodontics may be affected by infectious, hereditary, traumatic, malignant, or idiopathic oral mucosa lesions. Orthodontists have to be able to detect, identify, and treat effectively or to address the patient to a specialist. Here we discuss this difference to make their diagnosis and management easier for the practitioner.
Key words: Oral mucosa / orthodontics / oral appliances / oral lesions
