See an orthodontist: There are a few of potential causes for white spots on your gums, and usually it is a normal color variation. However, evaluation by an oral health professional orthodontist or dentist is needed to determine if spots are a cause for concern. Good luck with your braces. Congratulations!

White spots: Many causes for what appear to you to be white spots. Some can be from Orthodontic treatment, but most causes have nothing to do with tooth movement. Ask both your Orthodontic Specialist and your General Dentist to evaluate for you.
