My gums bleed when i brush and also in between the day sometimes they start to bleed. Really concerned also i had visited a dentist once and she mentioned i might need to get braces as my lower jaw has shrunk. Is that even possible? Please help.

Hi..it is possible that wrong teeth alignment can lead to weak gums followed by bleeding. You need to undergo scaling of teeth first followed by laser treatment. Once healing happens you can take braces treatment. Regards
