What can I do to make my overgrown gums recede?

August 23rd, 2011
Q.

I have had braces for a year, even though i brush my teeth I haven’t flossed enough as i found it difficult. My gums have become compressed and protrude between my teeth. and now, when I do floss assiduously I cannot seem to make them recede. when my braces are taken off in a half year or so, they will look rather foolish, and Im wondering what I can do to repair the situation? I have no doubt you understand what Im talking about, as my doctor said this is a common occurence.
Thanks
