Home >All Categories > Health >Dental >Open Question Theo Burray Member since:March 10, 2011Total points:0 (Level 1)My gums are a bit big and on the left and right sides at the top there isn't much space between the bracket and the gum however they are still pink and don't bleed when they are brushed, they are not sore or anything either. My braces come off soon. Also I don't have any chalky white spots on my teeth and I always brush them at least twice a day (always brush after eating and such) so I shouldn't get any white spots behind the brackets should I?Answer Question

thank you
