What is least likely observed during orthodontic treatment?

Tooth decay
Gingivitis
Devitalization of teeth that have moved
Alignment of teeth

The correct answer is: Devitalization of teeth that have moved

Tooth decay and gingivitis are common dental issues that can arise during orthodontic treatment due to increased difficulty in properly cleaning teeth. Alignment of teeth is the main goal of orthodontic treatment, so it is unlikely to not be observed. Devitalization of teeth, producing dead teeth, is not a common complication in orthodontic treatment. However, it can occur in rare cases due to the pressure of braces on the teeth, although this is not a common observation during treatment.
