Teeth Braces
I visited dentist for bad breath issue, He did the cleaning and suggested to cleanup every year once. After 3 months same issue started. Then i visited same doctor, He told the gap between teethes are more because of that food residues depositing on the gum causing the issue. Suggested for the Braces to remove the gap between the Braces.
I have doubt how the braces solve the bad breath issue, And Braces are painful and time taking treatment. Is this the right treatment or any other way my problem will be solved. I am attaching my dental x-ray for your reference.

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.
