Is it possible to get the brackets if you have gum disease and loose teeth in their sockets?
My 13-year-old daughter needs braces, but she has gum disease and complained that her teeth are a little loose. These are not milk teeth by the way. Will it be possible to get the brackets? And if it does, there is a risk of loss of these teeth good? Oh, and this gum disease is hereditary. Brush and floss daily. My husbands side of the family was not the best teeth.

i dont think there are chances of losing the teeth…
Brush after meals
Most of people brush their teeth in the morning. Dentists believe that one should brush teeth after having meals.It helps in keeping the mouth fresh and free of germs.
Brush them softly
You should brush the teeth without putting too much pressure. The best practice is to brush for at least 5 minutes and gently move the toothbrush in your mouth.Also make sure that you don’t hurt the muscles.

Have you had a preliminary visit with the orthodontist yet? They may not recommend traditional braces due to her periodontal problem. Sounds as though she would be a good candidate for invisalign though. Traditional braces make your teeth even harder to clean, but the invisalign is removeable, so she could brush and floss as she normally does. Without knowing if she has any bone loss (the usual reason for loose teeth), I couldn’t guess as to whether she would lose any teeth. I hope not! 13 is really young to be experiencing this problem.
