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 The Leigh.
Given stable gums, orthodontics proceeds normally; the ongoing requirement is diligent cleaning throughout, whether working around brackets or brushing before every tray reinsertion.
