Kindly consult a physician for covid opinion & treatment. Kindly consult a dentist in person for further suggestion. We need more investigations with clinical examination to decide upon treatment. You may need deep cleaning along with surgical curettage or gum strengthening procedure. Rinse your mouth thoroughly with a mouth wash after every meal. Use pepsodent tooth paste & gum paint for 2 to 3 weeks. Advance procedures can be done with laser. You may consult me in person.

Hello lybrate-user, sorry to hear the difficulty you are facing. I would suggest you to visit the earlier dentist who had your teeth removed and tell him what the new dentist has told you and continue your treatment from the doctor who got your teeth removed. Braces treatment varies between dentists. Just make sure you do not face the problems that you where informed, if your starting to face inform the treating dentist and they will treat it.

Hello lybrate-user. Retainers can be fixed too. It's not necessary you will need a removable retainer. Which retainer you will need will depend upon your case. Even when we give removable retainer to stabilize the teeth, is stopped after 6 months or a year. But if the patient's teeth start to move again after stopping retainer, then the patient needs to wear it again. Fixed retainers are invisible & are bonded on the teeth from inside.
