Q: My name is Toni-Ann and I’m 16. I have juvenile periodontitis but I need braces. Can I still receive the braces even though I have periodontitis?
A: I highly recommend a qualified laser periodontist (specialist) to evaluate your condition before starting your orthodontic case.
We have treated a large number of “Juvenile Periodontitis” cases with a specific laser protocol and they manage very well. Without any treatment, you are a high risk for tooth loss.
Best,
Dr. Eric Linden
