[quote=Anonymous]I'd ask the pediatrician about this. Repeated head CTs in childhood have been associated with increased risk of cancer, and possibly with cognitive problems, although I'm not sure how well the latter has been studied. Everyone seems to agree the benefit of catching head trauma is worth it, but I don't know about braces. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14703539 http://healthland.time.com/2013/05/22/to-scan-or-not-to-scan-largest-study-to-date-links-childhood-cts-to-increased-cancer-risk/[/quote]
