BRACES!?!?!?!!?!?!!?!?

Question

ok i have braces,

and i just noticed that my gums are starting to go really far down touching my brackets.

i have never had anything like this happen

its happening only on the 2 teeth next to my front teeth,

i brush regularly.

so whats happening?

Answer 1

Floss & be sure to get regular cleanings.  

Answer 2

I'm sorry this is not an answer.

i have the same thing but its on my molars.

when they were changing my wires, they couldn't get them in on the end and they like shoved them through. then all they said was

"okay, you definitely need to work on those molars of yours" then they said "okay your done" and i left without an answer. it pretty much sucked.

so the first thing you should do when you get to the Otho is

"yo whats wrong with my gums" and i bet they will answer.

i hope this helps!

Answer 5

omg I HAVE BRACES NOW AND THATS HAPPENING TO ME- i hate it!!! its so gross!! eww but i think it gets better when you floss. its so hard to floss braces though.. idk i hate it

Answer 6

You need to floss. I had that same problem, but if you floss religiously, you're gums will get pushed back up and everything will be back to normal.

Answer 7

I had braces too.  what you really need to do in order to stop receding of the gums, is to floss *everywhere* and use that fancy little brush that's included on the bottom of the tooth brush that fits in between the braces vertically.  My gums receded a bit, but once i got scared and took better care of them, everything was all right..
