My gums in braces question?!


Question: My gums in braces question?
http://www.teamchmura.com/oral-hygiene-while-in-braces.php

Bascially my gums are pretty much an A in this site, my gums never bleed when I brush and are pink. But I have lost some space between my gums and teeth on the top left and right sides like in C however like I said they don't bleed when brushed or hurt, I still brush and floss and what have you. My dentist nor othordontist have said anything about them and it's been like this a few months, so are they fine? Like I said they are definetely an A overall just the space between the gum and teeth have reduced on a few teeth but they don't hurt and I have no problems what so ever. I'm sure they'll go back to normal when I get my braces off in a few months and I can brush/floss a lot better right?

Also to add when I went for a deep cleaning/scaling in October when my gums were like this (I think I first noticed in around August), they remained the same after the cleaning and all the plaque/tartar had been removed so should my teeth should be fine themselves as I've kept to date with my flossing and brushing? (I use the flossing sticks which go between braces), so could it just be down to the braces themselves or something if neither my orthodontist nor general dentist has brought it up?

Answers:

you dont need to worry as the gums modify as the teeth move.
just keep them clean with proper brushing and mouthwash.
once the brackets are removed the gums will become healthy within a week.



brush your teeth regularly
