The degree of gingivitis at the age of < 18 years old is more severe than that of the age group > 18 years old. In patients wearing orthodontic braces, gingivitis is related to the number of tooth brushings per day and the time of the most recent periodic tartar removal. Conclusion: It is necessary to strengthen instructions on oral care and hygiene of patients wearing braces before and during treatment.
