I've never had orthodontics, and I'm supposed to start Invisalign but I'm extremely worried about my gum line on the bottom front teeth. I have thin gingiva, will Invisalign make my gums recede? My gum line hasn't moved (I take a lot of pictures) but it's extremely low and I cannot relax I am so worried about it.
I started Invisalign but I have receding gums on one tooth. I had a deep cleaning done and no more gum bleeding or swelling, but the gum wont reattach to teeth. I Have very little bone loss from the X-ray taken but I want to know should I continue with the aligners or get gum grafting first. And what can I do to prevent further bone lose. The tooth seem weak but not loose
I am on trays 14/24. Around tray 6, I noticed gum recession one tooth. My trays were trimmed. The gum doesn't appear to be getting worse but my dentist recommends I see a periodontist since I'm only halfway through & if lower teeth continue to move, the gum could strip all the way down? My ortho said we could watch it but now is saying just stop wearing the elastics since my overjet isn't too bad. Can the gum recede that fast if I continue elastics? Keep overjet, get graft or just watch & see?
My teeth have never been perfect, my right front tooth has always protruded and I have a crown on it dues to an injury as a child. I'm 54 and now, I have peridontal issues (which I try to keep under control with laser treatments and care) and receding gum issues. As a result, my teeth have shifted, and my front tooth sticks out to the point of embarrassment. Can invisalign work with for me when I have receding gum issues that are semi-under control?
I recently went to an orthodontist for an Invisalign consultation where I was told that my overbite can be corrected with Invisalign alone. It is my understanding that an overbite can either be dental or skeletal, which dictates the need for surgery or not. Based on the images provided, does my case look like it can be treated with Invisalign alone? Additionally, do I appear to have a recessed chin, and if so, to what degree? If surgery is necessary, what do you recommend for me specifically?
Hello, I undergone lip lift surgery because of toothshow. That didn't help and I realized that my problem is recessed maxilla. Is there a way to change my smile without orthognatic surgery? Thank you V
