If the gums are receding during orthodontics, is there any salvation?

Use the right tools and do a good job of cleaning!

Orthodontic atrophy occurs, usually due to inadequate cleaning and gum inflammation or periodontitis.

Even if there is inflammation in the gums in adolescence, due to physiological characteristics, it will recover relatively quickly, and the ability of adults to rebuild periodontal tissue is lower than that of adolescence, so if you are often in a state of gum inflammation or periodontitis, it is easy to cause gum recession over time.

In addition, in the process of orthodontic alignment, the original crowded teeth are lined up, which will expose the gum tissue with local defects due to the removal of the cover of the crowded teeth. This may cause a gap between the teeth at the papilla of the gums, also known as the black triangle.

Gum atrophy is common in adult orthodontics and is difficult to improve once atrophy. The recommendation is to use the right tools, do a good job of cleaning, reduce the occurrence of gum inflammation, and try to slow down gum recession. With braces on, we also want to be a delicate person and maintain the health of the gums.
