So I've had long term advanced gum disease
For as long as I can remember despite cleaning, flossing, regular hygiene cleans etc it just would not go. It runs in my family and my gran actually lost all her teeth aged 25! Anyway, finally someone referred me to a peridontics clinic and I had root scaling, this was 5 months ago. Went back for my check
Up and was told I had made excellent progress and my gums were much better with pockets reduced etc and he sent me on my way. So I decided with this sorted out I would go ahead and get a brace (something the peridontist was aware of) went feeling pretty confident but have just left the orthodontist feeling absolutely terrible. They basically told
Me my bone loss is awful and I should have lose teeth by now, they can't consider me for a brace as my teeth would possibly fall out, she offered to write to the peridontist for his
