Hi there, From the very limited views of your teeth available, given the two photographs, it would appear that you may have a fair degree of crowding. Your upper canine tooth appears to be fully blocked out, with no room. Your orthodontic treatment may require extraction of some teeth, to make room so that your teeth can be properly, and safely aligned. Invisalign alone, without extractions, would not be of any use. You should however see an orthodontist, who can take the appropriate and necessary diagnostic records to be able to give you a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
Often times, in non-growing patients, when there is significant crowding, or overlapping of teeth, there can be a possibility of having a 'Black Triangle' where the teeth taper and go into the gums. There are ways to try and reduce to minimize this, but sometimes we have to accept it. It is also based on if there was a previous history of gum problems or gum disease, which will make an individual more prone to this. The bottom line answer to your question, the gum in an adult will likely not 'grow' to fill the gap. The teeth can be filed so as to bring the roots of the teeth closer together, or the roots tipped slightly towards each other to help.
Hello there, There is a fair bit more that goes into diagnosing and treatment planning than just a few photos. My first recommendation would be for you to make certain that you've seen an orthodontist, who is a specialist in making sure your teeth and jaws are well aligned as a result of the treatment you are seeking. General dentists can also straighten teeth, but they do not have the added 2-3 years of full time University training that an Orthodontist does. Based on the few photos, it also does appear that you may have an upper/lower jaw size discrepancy with your lower jaw being significantly behind your upper jaw. Before you start any treatment, discuss this with your orthodontist as well.
Hello There, Based on the profile picture you posted, it does appear that your chin (lower jaw actually) has developed slightly more in both the horizontal direction (forward) and in the vertical (longer). It's hard to tell from the centre photo, but it also seems that your bite might be an edge-to-edge bite, or even perhaps lower teeth being more forward than your upper teeth. The correction of your jaw appearance cannot be corrected with braces alone. With the help of your orthodontist and an oral surgeon, the bite can be corrected and the chin reduced (in both the horizontal and vertical dimensions). This would require surgery in addition to braces, but can be improved.
Your upper jaw is narrow, and you have significant crowding. That is why your upper canine tooth is completely sticking out of the upper arch. Expanders usually work properly and well until our mid-teens (generally). As an adult, any claims to significantly expand your upper jaw (without surgery), to the point that an extra tooth like yours can be fitted in, and without extractions, need to be considered carefully - as this is not a sound approach. Please make sure you seek the advice of an Orthodontist (specialist) or a couple of orthodontists - not a general dentist who does orthodontics. There is a difference. Your case appears more involved and should be handled by someone who has 2-3 years of full time additional university education on how to move teeth and help shape your jaw.
