Causes of Gum problems with braces

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.

How are diabetes and periodontal disease related?

Diabetes is a disease characterized by not having control of the blood sugar level. The human body loses this control due to the absence or decrease of the hormone called insulin, whose function is to control sugar levels in the body.

People with diabetes have an increased risk of developing gum disease. High blood sugar levels can damage various organs and the same to the gum.
