No, bone loss cause recession.
No. Braces do no cause gum recession if you are treated properly and under the supervision of a specialized Orthodontist. Actually, there are some scientific report that you can stop gum recession and even gain gum to grow back when having orthodontic treatment
It's possible. Especially if you don't keep your teeth and gums clean. That means brushing above and below the wire and flossing your teeth, for instance, with a Platypus Flosser.
