I brushed my teeth too hard until it shows residing gum condition. Is there a way to help solve the problem?

I removed my braces two years ago. I was really excited about my teeth but was cautious about it turning yellow if I don%26#039;t clean it well. I sub-consciously brushed my teeth too hard. As a result, my gum start to move upwards and there are significant %26#039;holes%26#039; at the gum area between my teeth especially the top front teeth. My teeth also appear %26#039;bigger%26#039; now as compared to after the removal of my braces because of the residing gum condition. It was too late when I realized my condition and I totally regret it. In fact, I got so upset that I could not sleep or concentrate on my work, and I am now suffering from insonmia.





Can anyone share with me if you have the same problem before? Can anyone advise me on what I should do to %26#039;rescue%26#039; my teeth? Can wearing braces again help to pull the teeth inward so that the %26#039;holes%26#039; between my teeth look less obvious, and that the teeth will look %26#039;smaller%26#039; as what was before? Please help me.

Hi there, I have exactly the same problem as you. I have a small %26quot;pocket%26quot; just above my right canine, but it is all but invisible unless you look REALLY close.





First things first: get yourself an electric toothbrush, they will help prevent you from pressing too hard. Some brushes automatically sense when you press too hard and will reduce their power output temporarily. Also, electric brushes get your teeth really clean without the need to press hard.





As for the damage that you have already done, I believe that dentists have treatments available that can restore your gumline (such as gum repositioning) but I can imagine that they cost a bit of money. Not massively expensive but not cheap either.





Personally, I would like my gums repositioned but it%26#039;s not an urgent priority. I don%26#039;t know how severe your case is, so you might want to talk it over with your dentist.





I don%26#039;t think you should let this worry you too much, you%26#039;d be surprised at what dentists can do today!
Reply:consult your dentist....its the best thing to do...next time dont rush...things turn to be good when done smoothly and accurately
Reply:The mechanical barrier has left your gums too spongy.Use your clean fingers with a bit of smooth charcoal powder and salt to massage your teeth and gums.In tendays you should feel better and have your gum grow back where it should be.

Reply:go to your dentist.. i%26#039;m sure that wearing braces again will help....i dont think you have anything to worry about..
Reply:It%26#039;s %26#039;receding%26#039; and not %26#039;residing%26#039;, first of all. Second of all....quit smoking/chewing/huffing or whatever you are doing. If your dental health is preventing you from sleeping and/or doing your job you are a douchbag that doesn%26#039;t deserve a good job.
