Does braces cause gingivitis

Answer 1

Braces themselves don't. But they make it difficult to maintain really good dental hygiene, which can cause gums to recede. If you have braces, you can start by making sure you brush and floss twice a day. A mouthwash like Listerine or Scope can't hurt either.

Answer 2

• Hard brushing.
• Gum disease.
• Using a tooth brush that is not soft or ultra soft.

Gum recession can be also caused by an inflammation and tooth displacement.

Answer 3

If you have receding gums you really to get to a dentist. Several Bacteria, Periodontal(sp?) disease, gingivitis, and other serious oral issues can cause this problem. If these are ruled out then the dentist may recommend that you switch to a soft toothbrush. Also, There is a condition, the name escapes me, where the guns are not receding; the teeth are rising off the gum bed. This can be serious and needs immediate attention.

In short, it could be nothing; but to assume it is nothing and be wrong could be a big mistake. Get to a dentist

It hurts when u start wearing it for the first time. And it will for a few days maybe for few weeks. But gradually you will lose your pain. You will not even know that you are waring it. It is almost the same experience when you first started wearing contact lenses.

Answer 5

Yes, gums do recede. Gum recession is the process in which the margin of the gum tissue that surrounds the teeth wears away, or pulls back, exposing more of the tooth, or the tooth's root. Receding gums may be one of the first signs of gum diseases.

Answer 6

You could put braces on those teeth but if you don't get the gum disease under control first it would make as much sense as painting your house while it is on fire.
