No, braces do not cause ICR. ICR stands for Internal Carotid Artery and is a blood vessel located in the neck. Braces are a dental appliance used to straighten teeth, and they do not affect blood vessels in the neck.
While braces are generally safe, they can cause some side effects, such as:
- Soreness and discomfort
- Temporary changes in speech
- White spots on teeth
- Irritation of the gums
However, these side effects are typically temporary and manageable.
If you experience any unusual symptoms while wearing braces, it is important to contact your orthodontist for advice.
