Hi..
Ideally first a OPG has to be taken and a thorough cleaning of teeth and gums to be done.
After seeing OPG, let the dentist decide whether conaultation from periodontist is needed.
And definately Orthodontic treatment is highly recommended.
So consult MDS Orthodontist.
Thank you...

Your signs and symptoms indicate gum disease which requires thorough investigation and treatment. After adequate treatment it is very often possible to proceed with braces. I suggest you find a good periodontist followed by an orthodontist who together can give you the smile you deserve.
