I got heavy tartar buildup. will that hamper the movement of my teeth during my orthodontic treatment?will the teeth move inspite of tartar ?

Tarter buildup: All teeth should be clean before and during orthodontic treatment.

Orthodontics: Get you teeth cleaned before you start your braces and regularly during your orthodontic treatment. It is very important that your teeth, gums, and mouth are healthy at the start to have beautiful and healthy teeth at the end.

Calculus: Your orthodontist will instruct you to have your teeth professionally cleaned by a dentist. Once your gums are healthy and all carious lesions are restored, orthodontic treatment will commence. All the best...

Recommend cleaning: Orthodontic treatment is an investment of both time and money, so it’s critical to take care of your gums and teeth during your orthodontic treatment to ensure that when your braces are removed your teeth are not only straight, but most importantly, decay and periodontal disease free.

Tarter: Tarter can cause gum infection, gum/bone recession, and can inhibit or prevent tooth movement. Teeth must be immaculately clean (glass smooth root surfaces + no gingival inflammation) before tooth movement begins, and must be maintained throughout your time in appliances. Sounds like you would benefit from collaboration between both Orthodontic and Periodonic Specialists...see both.
