Abstract

Dental treatment that carried out by incompetent operators can actually cause far greater dangers and losses. The impact that can occur due to the use of
braces by dental technicians can arise from tooth decay, plaque accumulation, root resorption, bone resorption, inflammation of the supporting tissues of the teeth, to disorders of the temporomandibular joint. Method: The solution to the problem is carried out by educating the community, one of them are in Margasari, Tegal.
