Answers:
The first stage, gingivitis, is characterized by gum tissue that is red and puffy and bleeds easily when touched with a toothbrush, floss, or dental instrument. The second, third, and fourth stages are initial, moderate, and advanced periodontal disease, respectively. These stages are different from gingivitis because the infection has destroyed the bone supporting the teeth. Left untreated, periodontal disease will eventually result in tooth loss.
orthodontic treatments are avoided in third and fourth stages as there is marked bone loss occurring in them and therefore those teeth are not liable to withstand orthodontic forces!
