How can I strengthen my gums?

floss daily.

You said that your dentist said your TEETH were not in shape to get braces, but you are asking about your gums. Did you mean your teeth? It seems as though your Orthodontist may have jumped the gun, so to speak. Are you sure he was supposed to do the work that he did? You may need to get another opinion.

Typo, sorry, he said my gums aren’t in shape. There is no doubt in my mind that the orthodontist jumped the gun, it actually amazed my dentist because he did the impressions on my teeth and scheduled the appointment to have them put on before I even went to my dentist! Turns out my dentist office is actually expanding and will be doing ortho work by spring time so my parents are sending me there to get them done because they don’t trust the guy I originally went to (I went because two of my friends got theirs by him with great results)

well when you were at your dentist, you should have asked him… but yeah… brush often, and rinse with Listerine cause it kills the gum disease gingivitis and promotes healthy gums… Do it like it says on the packaging. and use crest toothpaste. it’s the best and comes in all flavors and special formulas.
