Periodontal problem while having braces
I have periodontal problem before I has fitted with braces but my dentist had done scaling and planing before that. However I went abroad and was not able to see my dentist every month. Now, I have an xray done and it showed bone loss but I dont know how severe it was. Can I still continue having my braces while doing some periodontal treatment? Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Talk to experienced dentist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
It will be difficult to provide a rational suggestion without a look at the clinical condition of the teeth and the X Ray. Kindly post the same if possible.
Your dentist who performs the clinical examination is the best judge for such decisions and you can discuss your queries in detail with him/her.
