tidak boleh pakai kawat gigi ketika hamil

i heard it from my fiance yesterday that shouldn't using braces when pregnant, is it right?
her cousin n frens told him. soalnya pas pregnant kan tubuh tuh ga karuan gitu, dan krn kalsium yg dibutuhkan sangat banyak nanti gigi kita malah isa copot krn ga kuat ditekan braces nya >.<
well im not yet pregnant, but i really have to know..amien2 after married langsung tekdung, kan ni kawat diperkirakan masih menempel dengan cantiknya di gigiku.

and after searching, here is the answer:
There should NOT be a problem having braces on while pregnant IF you have very good oral hygiene. Braces do not cause cavities, bacteria that is not properly removed (poor oral hygiene) causes cavities. Pregnancy hormones make your gums more susceptible to inflammation/bleeding....unlike the old wives tales, the baby does NOT take calcium from your teeth...poor oral hygiene and a weakened immune system (makes it harder for your body to fight off the bacteria that cause gum disease, periodontal disease and cavities.) are factors that can lead to poor oral health.

Check out the American Dental Association's page on pregnancy questions/answers... this should help!
