#1 Post by mskk1354 »

Alright, I admit I get lazy just like any human being. I've skipping flossing my teeth and now I feel like my teeth look smaller and shorter. I will be getting my braces of by late January :jump: If my teeth behave good. :BigGrin: But, I'm worried because I feel my gums are kind of overlapping my teeth :(
Has this happened to anyone? If I do floss relegiously, will this help make my teeth look a little better?

It could be a combination of plaque buildup and inflamed gums covering more of your teeth. Get them professionally cleaned and then make a regular habit of flossing. Regular flossing does help you gums stay healthy
Braces for 18 months/4 days.
