Dental work while on Reclast?

I have recently inquired about having some orthodontic work done and was told that studies show very poor result for patients who had reclast injections, and was discouraged from pursuing this. I would encourage you to provide your health history to any oral surgeon you are dealing with and make sure that they are aware and informed about reclast before having any dental work.

I have been there. I think orthodontic work is perfectly fine. I know from bone doc and maxofacial surgeon that one should NOT have dental extractions 5 years after Reclast, also not certain root canals those which go high up in the bone. I abided by that. It ruined my smile. But I did not want Osteonecrosis. The surgeon at a major university hospital vividly gave me a portrait of what could happen re osteonecrosis.
