Yes: Yes you can still get a gingivectomy while wearing braces. Sometimes the gingiva (gums) will become inflammed (puffy) because it is more difficult to clean around the brackets. Usually this can be done with a dental laser with little discomfort.

Certainly: The concern is why do you need a gingivectomy? It is best to speak with both specialists: your orthodontist and periodontist to get a consensus on what you need, why, and when is the best time. Gingivectomy can be performed with braces in place.
