Gingivitis is making me really nervous

Like many people, I developed gingivitis whilst having braces.

I’ve been quite scared the past few days. My gums are about to grow over my brackets, I feel awful. I only started flossing on the first of January so i’m yet to see any results. my gums are really really inflamed so i probs won’t see any results for weeks. I just hope i do have gingivitis and not perio-whatever its called. and i hope my flossing restores my gums back to normal. it’s ruined my braces experience for me. i quite liked my braces before but now i want them off so i can focus on my oral hygiene more.

anyone else struggling with gingivitis?
