I had invisalign done for 2 years to correct crowding. Before invisalign, I got a periodental evaluation and had no tooth mobility or recession. During invisalign, I developed black triangles in my lower incisors and gum recession under two teeth. The teeth also developed slight mobility<0.5mm bucco Lingual. So I did a gum graft. My gum pockets have always been <3mm. HOw can this boneloss happen? Did invisalign cause the boneloss /mobility? Will the th e tooth firm up again?
I'm a 22 y/o male on tray 26/45 of invisalign. Unfortunately, large black triangles/food traps have appeared. I knew of the risk, as I had some slight gum recession beforehand, but these are way worse than expected. I'm afraid they are causing irreversible damage. Hopefully the photos illustrate my concerns. It's hard to tell, but my central and lateral top incisors literally don't touch. My bottom left canine and lateral incisor also have 0 contact right now. Thank you all.
I am currently on week 23 of Invisalign trays, and I got them hoping to relieve some a TMJ jaw pains and headaches, but also to fix my bite and my facial structure. I dont think the Invisalign has made a difference in my weak jaw and chin, and if so its much less of a change than I was hoping for. I was wondering what would be the best solution to get a more even, defined jawline.
I've gotten opinions from 2 dentists. 1 believes it's a result of my edge to edge bite while another believes it's because of my tongue thrust problem. I'm 23 and have significant gum recession for my age. I'm currently working with a speech therapist on fixing my tongue problem, but I'd like a third opinion on this. If it were because of my edge to edge bite, I'd be looking at a $4000 Invisalign treatment. NOTE: My brother has also had gum recession problems so it's likely in my genes as well.
I just got my Invisalign yesterday. I have some gumline recession on a few of my teeth, and attachments were required on some of those teeth. The dental assistant put the clear bonding agent on two teeth, coating them up to the gumline. They are now hardened shells covering both teeth entirely. Will this do any damage to the teeth if left on for the entire Invisalign treatment (9-10 months)? Also, how will they get it off? I'm afraid drilling/sanding it off will hurt since it is so sensitive!
I find my teeth are quite set back (recessed) and also quite far up (opposite of a gummy smile) it makes my smile looke quite dark as my teeth are in the shadows, where as I would love a bigger brighter smile where my teeth show more. I know your teeth go upwards when you get older. I am only 28. I bite my nails so maybe this is why they are like that. can anything bring them down more so they show more? and can they be brought more forward? as my lips sink in when I smile and my chin sticks out
