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?
