Trauma in the oral mucosa due to orthodontic apparatus can be present at any stage of the treatment and must be considered a latent risk of the latter. Therefore, mucosa must be frequently examined to ensure that the apparatus isn't causing damage that, in some cases, may be irreversible. It is essential for a dentist to recognize oral lesions such as mucocele visually and to bring the proper treatment to the patient. The dentist must inform the patient of the risks present during orthodontic treatment and perform the pertinent and periodic examination of the oral mucosa to avoid unnecessary discomfort to the patient and deflect any distrust that may arise on dental treatment as a whole. This paper reports a case of mucocele in a teen in the late stages of orthodontic treatment and a 15-year-old patient with a previous report of mucocele that had been removed but showed signs of recidivism. Both lesions were treated by surgical removal, and no further recidivism was reported.
