Im 24 and my teeth are crooked at the bottom and my gum are receding can you advice

Q. I had a brace on my bottom teeth when i was younger. I am know 24 and my teeth have gone back crooked at the bottom, the four middle teeth. My major problem is my gums are now receding around these teeth…i go to the hygienist regulary but i’m really worried about losing these teeth..i can feel they are a little wobberly and wondered if there was anything i could do to possibly help the gums grow back?

A. The gums won’t grow back but you could straighten them to help you and the hygienist keep them clean??

I have crooked bottom teeth and receding gum around two bottom teeth. My periodontist said I should straighten those teeth 1st then proceed with the tissue graft because in his opinion, overcrowding is partly to blame for my receding gums…..is this true?….do you agree???
