I am worried the condition of my gums would prevent the option of braces. Is there any way to check this?

Hi. I have been worried about my gums for a long time. they used to bleed when I brushed but they don’t any more. the thing is I have crooked teeth and wanted to have a brace but I am scared that my gums health will not allow this. Does the fact that I had/have something wrong with my gums mean itll be easier to contract again or not? And Is there anyway I can check to see If I have a gum problem and can it directly affect me getting brace treatment? thank you

Can you advise on proper maintenance of oral health in terms of cleaning teeth?

Q.

I have always brushed flossed etc and as such never had any problems however recently my teeth have started crossing, the issue is that I cannot get the floss down anywhere near the gum line to clean properly. i managed it once and regretted it! it wouldn’t go and i wrongly insisted it would- it did eventually just ramming into my gum and making them bleed to add insult to injury it wouldn’t then come back out! as a result ive not done it in a while I just wanted to ask what i could do about it in terms of cleaning, im getting giddy with my brush going in at all angles but am worried id be getting overzealous is there anything you could advise me on when cleaning? and would gum disease start in just a small area like that if so could it cause any damage?
