I am 15 and I wear braces so hopefully, I will able to give you some insight on this matter. First off, this thing will only happen if you have short teeth to begin with. A good way to find out if you do is to look in the mirror. If you see more gum tissue than teeth when you smile, then you have this problem, but if not, then you shouldn't worry about it. Also, this problem results not from the quality of the orthodontic care, but is a result of the pre-treatment gum thickness and contours that the patient had. I hope this was of help!

Can you kiss wearing braces?

Can braces rot your teeth?
The braces do not rot the teeth, but poor oral hygiene while wearing braces has often led to significant tooth decay while an individual was fitted with them. The areas around the braces are especially prone to trapping food and encouraging decay if not cleaned sufficiently. Also because it requires more time and effort to thoroughly clean the teeth when the braces are in place there is an increased tendency to neglect thorough cleaning. When braces are fitted to younger persons (and most people who get braces usually get them as teenagers) there is an additional tendency for the hygiene to be less than sufficient to prevent decay. With proper care, however, no "rotting" should occur when you are wearing braces.
Is it common to get cavities while wearing braces?
Yes, it is common to develop cavities while wearing braces. The brackets and wires create additional nooks and crannies where food particles and plaque can accumulate, making oral hygiene more challenging. If proper brushing and flossing techniques are not maintained, the risk of cavities increases. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings are essential to help prevent this issue.
