Gum Health Before Adult Orthodontic Treatment
Because gum disease and recession are commoner in adults, a periodontal check is the necessary first step. Straightening teeth through inflamed or receding tissue risks accelerating bone loss, so St. Buryan orthodontists will want evidence your gums are healthy before starting.
Given stable gums, orthodontics proceeds normally; the ongoing requirement is diligent cleaning throughout, whether working around brackets or brushing before every tray reinsertion.
