Orthodontics can be done if a woman is pregnant. However, there is usually a need to have diagnostic records taken before the start of treatment. X-rays should not be taken if you are pregnant, but if they have already been taken, then the orthodontic process is not a problem. Furthermore, although everyone is susceptible to gingival and periodontal problems if their oral hygiene is poor, the pregnancy hormones make women more susceptible to these problems. It is even more critical during your treatment that your oral hygiene is impeccable.
