The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of standard ligating braces on the content of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase in saliva/oral fluid. Materials and methods: 40 healthy individuals aged 15 to 25 years (17 women and 23 men) who underwent orthodontic treatment with standard ligating braces were included in the study. The level of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase in saliva was studied three times: before orthodontic treatment, 24 hours and two months after braces fixation. Results: 24 hours after fixing the standard braces, the studied biochemical parameters did not change; 2 months after the start of treatment, the level of calcium and alkaline phosphatase in saliva decreases statistically reliably, while the content of magnesium and phosphorus remains unchanged.
