Smoking with braces on.
Smoker with braces
I have had braces now for over two years. Before I can have the braces removed I needed two teeth pulled. Even though I pulled the teeth over a week ago my gums are still not healing. Because the holes have not closed the orthodontic will not remove my braces. I am wondering are my gums not healing good because I am a smoker? I am trying to quit now so will it help heal any faster if I am not smoking. I really want to have my braces off as soon as possible
