Lumineers After Invisalign?
asked 2 years ago by south carolina in south carolina

Tags: gums, teeth, gap
I wanted to get Lumineers to close a gap in the front of my teeth. The Dentist suggested I get Invisalign because when closing a gap, the teeth don't look natural, it's too big.
I did get the Invisilign 3 years ago but my teeth are not tight. I can still move them with my finger. I went to a periodontist and he said my gums were in bad shape and Invisalign was probably not a good idea.
Can I get Lumineers now? Will my teeth fall out? Should the dentist have checked my gums before Invisalign?

Periodontal health has to be good before any cosmetic dentistry
The health of your gum and bone is the most important factor prior to deciding to any ortho or restorative work. Please seek periodontal treatment before doing Invisalign or veneers.
