During orthodontic treatment, it is common to find inflamed gums in patients with braces. This inflammation of the gums usually occurs when the patient does not have proper oral hygiene.
Before starting orthodontic treatment, all infectious foci in the mouth should be eliminated, this includes: caries and periodontal diseases (gingivitis / periodontitis). This is because the brackets help accumulate more food and could aggravate infections.
