Why Adults Need a Gum Check First
A gum assessment up front matters more for adults, who often have some periodontal history. Active disease must be settled before treatment — moving teeth through compromised bone can do harm — and a recent healthy-gum check is standard practice across Higham Hill.
Once gum health is confirmed or restored, adults with a well-managed periodontal history treat successfully. During treatment it needs extra care: braces make cleaning harder, and aligner wearers must brush thoroughly before reinserting trays.
