A periodontist (gums specialist) can treat any issues in the gums that you might have before fitting braces. An exam involves investigating the state of your bone structure, teeth, bite, and gums. Factors to consider while evaluating your oral health include your age and underlying medical conditions. Your teeth and gums need to be healthy before braces. The wires and brackets and even clear aligners can trap food and bacteria and make gum disease much worse. If periodontal disease is present, you will need some specialized treatment before you can wear new braces.

A professional dental evaluation significantly increases your chances of having successful orthodontic treatment. Your dentist and periodontist will work together to achieve and maintain your optimal oral health.
