“Do swollen gums go away after braces?”
I wear braces and have swollen gums. Do swollen gums go away after braces?

Usually not. You should first find out the cause of the swollen gum. Improving oral hygiene and brushing may help. Please consult with a periodontist if surgery to remove the swollen gums is needed.
Swollen gums are a sign of poor oral hygiene. You need to get your teeth cleaned. The braces are not the cause of your swollen gums.
No, only removing your braces is not enough.
W hope so. Most of the time they will within six to eight months after the removal of the appliances if stringent home care and regular visits are followed. The best option is to prevent the growth from the start by ensuring you are following recommended home care instructions. If your gums have already increased in volume be sure you are following home-care instructions and regular 6-month re-care now and moving forward. Some patients are more reactive to plaque or bacteria and debris accumulation on teeth than others. The best place to start is to visit your dentist and discuss the issue.
