Cavities first: It is unethical as well as counterproductive to begin Orthodontic treatment in the presence of infections. Cavities are infections. See your General Dentist to assure that your teeth and supporting tissues (gums/bone) are perfectly healthy before braces are placed. For highest quality, least expensive, most efficient Orthodontic Care, see a fully qualified Orthodontic Specialist.
