Why are my gums this way?
Hi I am 17 years old and I have had gum problems for majority of my life. I first received braces at the age of 13 to straighten my teeth since the gums over lapped and caused them to space out. They trimmed it down, hoping that the problem to my situation would go away. Instead it got even worse and it grew back. They make my teeth look really small and makes it hard for the braces to stay on cause they pop after a while. I don't know what to do. At this point I see braces as useless to me because they aren't helping out. I would like to smile and have teeth showing instead of gums. Its bad enough that my social life is having a bit of a down fall cause of my mouth. What do I need to do? Can I send you a picture of what it looks like so you can get what I am trying to explain?
