Question:
I have gingivitis. However,My teeth are crooked. Is there any hope of me getting braces at this point?
I have gingivitis. My teeth are crooked at the top. The tooth decay is on the bottom of my mouth and has been controlled because I am undergoing treatment. However, I desperately want braces. Under what conditions will this be a viable option?
Answers:
The braces will make it even harder for you to maintain good oral hygiene, which will make the gingivitis even worse.
The next time you go to your dentist to continue your treatment, you should ask him how to properly maintain your oral hygiene to prevent gingivitis. Once you can demonstrate that you can keep the plaque off your teeth and maintain healthy gums, you should be able to get braces.
Hope this helps.
