Soda drinking has been known to increase the acidity of the oral environment resulting in wear & tear of teeth. Recommendations typically state that if drinking an acidic average such as soft drinks or fruit juice, it is better to drink the beverage at one entire time rather then prolong the drinking time. However, a study published in the April guide of the American Journal of Dentistry, looked into the effects of acidogenic beverages on dental sealants. The clinical significance of this study is found below

 Enamel surface protection using a highly filled and fluoride releasing primer may be a beneficial technique during orthodontic treatment to prevent enamel demineralization.

Thus, the protective measures that fluoride produces can protect those undergoing orthodontic treatment at a higher level. More studies will look into the protective effect of fluoride
