Hello,Black triangles are quite common following orthodontic treatment. It is true that there are adjustments that can be done to close these if you were to go back into braces. But there are other options as well.First of all, I would wait several months before doing anything. This is to allow some time for the gums to mature and remodel. The gums will fill these types of spaces to some degree over time, but possibly not all of the space.If after some time, these black triangles remain, you can have resin bonding done to close these spaces. The healthiest and most predictable technique for this procedure is called BioClear. If this is the route you choose, I would search for a dentist in your area who uses this technique.
You are never too old to get braces! We have treated patients well into their 70's who have chosen to straighten their teeth. At 28 your treatment should go smooth and get a great result.
Hello,Invisalign aligners can be used effectively in most cases to whiten your teeth with whitening gel, but there can be some issues.If you have any of the resin attachments on your teeth, I would not recommend trying to whiten during treatment. If you did, those areas of the tooth that are covered in resin would not whiten, and your teeth would look spotty after removal of the attachments. Also, during Invisalign treatment, teeth tend to gather stain over time due to constantly wearing the aligners. Even if you did whiten during your treatment, you would probably feel the need to whiten again when you are finished. My usual recommendation is to whiten with your Invisalign retainers after treatment is completed.
Hello,It is unlikely that the wisdom teeth will have the effect you are looking for. Several studies have been done showing that wisdom teeth cannot significantly effect tooth movement. Unfortunately your best option would be to re-open these spaces where the teeth were extracted and replace the teeth. Another option is to do some type of veneers to broaden her smile and fill the space that is there and make them appear to be not set back as far.
Hello,If you have teeth that are needing root canals due to active infection, I would recommend taking care of this before starting your orthodontics. In some cases it can be possible to do root canals with braces on the teeth, but it adds complexity and risk. It is also worth considering holding off on the crowns until after the orthodontics is completed, this way the crown could be fabricated to fit the position your teeth will be in long term. But I would recommend completing the root canals first.
