I completely agree with Dr. Jablow's recommendation for you to see a periodontist. As long as a periodontist clears you for the Invisalign procedure, it should be safe to move the teeth.

This depends on how advanced the periodontal disease is. It is important to get that under control first because if the bone is not stable, undue pressure from orthodontic tooth movement can cause more damage. I HIGHLY suggest that you get under the care of a periodontist before any other dental work is done.
