Are there any harmful effects to stopping braces treatment halfway through?
Thank you for your question. Braces treatment does take time, on average 1-3 years, however for some complex cases it may sometimes take even longer. There may be some unforeseen circumstances where braces treatment may need to be terminated earlier. For example if the patient has more urgent medical treatment and having the braces may hinder proper medical investigation such as a brain MRI.
Why do I always have phlegm when I wake up?
That is an interesting question. There can be many reasons, but one of the common ones are nasal allergies. The phelgm from the nose flows down to the throat when you sleep. The next one is acid reflux from the stomach. The stomach acid comes up through the food pipe and becomes phelgm in the throat. If it really is bothering you a lot, you should check it out with your GP.
