Dental caries is a dynamic disease resulting from the interaction of cariogenic bacteria, host, and environmental factors. Enamel demineralization pathogenicity and related factors, particularly the impact of orthodontic biomaterial with detection and management modalities, have yet to be reviewed thoroughly. This article reviews incidence and prevalence, pathological process, histological presentation, and etiological factors; providing a comprehensive understanding of factors that affect the oral environment and contribute to lesion formation. Thus, better knowledge for clinicians, researchers, and future material/research improvement.
