Getting Your Gums Ready for Treatment
Adults are more likely than teenagers to carry some history of gum disease or recession, so a gum-health assessment — and treatment of any active disease — comes before orthodontics. Moving teeth through unhealthy bone can worsen problems and cause bone loss, which is why most Molesden orthodontists require a recent check confirming gum health first.
With healthy gums established, even patients with past periodontal problems do well — provided hygiene stays meticulous, since fixed braces trap plaque and aligners seal it against the teeth if you don't brush first.
