Have you heard of orthodontists cutting the gums after braces to prevent tooth movement?

There are little fibers that connect to your teeth. when the tooth gets straight the fibers are tight and have to be loosened in order to keep the tooth from going back. the fibers reattach to your straight tooth and prevent movement. This cuts down 60 % of movement after the bands are off. You will be numbed ud and it will be so fast, It will take about 4 days to heal. you'll be fine!

No!!!! That sounds awful! I was given a retainer so my teeth would not move.
Reply:I had braces for four years and I didn't have my gums cut afterwards. That isn't right.

Reply:Sasasa is right. It's MINOR and even calling it "cutting the gums" sounds too dramatic. You'd want to be numb, though.
