  • Can you get braces If you have gingivitis?

    You can but it is not recommended. Gingivitis means you are not doing a good job cleaning your teeth, most likely due to the lack of flossing. If you floss improperly, the plaque will not be removed from under the gums and the bacteria will cause the gums to get swollen and bleed. Bleeding is a sign to continue flossing (NOT stop flossing) and if you floss correctly every day for 2 weeks, then you can reverse the gingivitis. If you get braces while you have gingivitis, then you will get a lot more swelling, bleeding, sensitivity, and cavities.Best wishes. READ MORE
