hello, Hello, bad breath could be because of deposits on your teeth or food lodged in your teeth. It could also be due to cold, acidity, not drinking enough water, not eating food, fasting for long intervals, etc. Visit a dentist get your scaling and polishing done. Brush twice daily, maintain proper brushing technique, floss regularly and rinse after every meal. Drink lots of water. for gap in between your teeth consult to an Orthodontist. Even if you have a gap you will not have bad breath if you maintain proper oral hygiene, therefore its not necessary your bad breath will go away with braces. So, maintain proper hygiene.

Gaps between teeth are sign of gum disease, quite evident with bone loss in your X-ray, so undergo gum treatment before any other treatment.

Hi.. based on your x ray. First undergo gum treatment for periodontist followed by braces. Yes its true that you need braces to solve your gum issue permanently. Braces are not painful, yes they take time but outcome is permanent and teeth life would increase. Regards

Good Evening. Based on the your dental history and the OPG Xray you have attached. It looks like you may what we call localised aggressive periodontitis. Its basically a gum condition of the young which is characterised by bone loss around your teeth, particularly in the molar ( grinders) and incisor ( front teeth) region. It could also be periodontitis due to some other factors, but the symptoms you prescribe, the short time period in which it has progressed and the non response to conventional treatment in addition to bone defects in the incisor and molar regions point towards Localised Aggressive Periodontitis.

Hi, on seeing the x-ray there is bone loss around most of the teeth. Its advisable to go for gum treatment to prevent further bone loss. Brushing your teeth twice daily and gargling using mouthwash can control the plaque accumulation and bad odour. Its advisable to consult periodontist for further management.  Braces can only close the gap between the teeth.

Hello, You need to get the gum treatment done first,after which the orthodontic treatment would close the gaps,thus preventing the food lodgement,which may lead to bad breath.Good luck.Regards,Dr Sumanmakam,Dental arts,jayanagar,Bangalore.

Hello sir After seeing your X-ray , I can say that 1) u have gaps between your teeth 2) u have bone loss between teeth 3) the condition of teeth looks good Now the problem of bad breadth can be many as the above doctor suggested. And u have to rule out one by one . Take antacids if u have acidity problem for 15 days and then have a follow up. Rule out any cough or sinus issue.and cleaning u have done already so that's out of question. Now Ortho treatment u can do for the gaps. But only ortho Won't solve this problem. What u have to do is 1) improve ur brushing habits.. Use interdental brush to remove food particles which are stuck between teeth. And this has to be done after every meal.. This brush is a pocket size brush so u can easily carry in ur pocket wherever u go. I know it's difficult but for ur condition u have to do it regularly for few days. 2) use floss and mouthwash daily and brush twice daily. 3) rinse thoroughly after every meal 4) spend time while brushing don't hurry up 5) drink lots of water 6) do treatment for your acidity and cough problem if u have any. Hope u will be fine soon.

Hi i am Dr Chaitra. Coming to tour problem. U have maintained good set of teeth. Bad breath could be becausebof various reasons. 1. Acidity. That is if you have too much of acid regurgitations. 2. Any medical condtions like diabetic or kidney disorder 3. Presence of calculus n decay 4. Excessive consumption of onion r garlic. Cleaning is suggested once in 6 months. Inspite of cleaning if you experience bad breath then you will have to look into other conditions. You can use a mouthwash suggested by your dentist. If you do not look into other conditions which is causing bad breath then you will not be satisfied even after braces. Well braces can be done if you are wishing to close the gap between your teeth.
