I recently have been brushing my teeth a bit agressivley the past week and just noticed that my gum on one of my lower front teeth is a bit receded, but I don't see any of the root, just more of the tooth. Will this recession naturally reverse eventually with careful brushing and care? Or is there anything I can do for it to reverse. None of the root is showing, just more of my tooth and this just of occurred within the past day or 2 from agressive brushing

The typical orthodontic approach will be braces and orthognathic surgery.I would suggest utilizing a more physiologic approach starting with a Biomimetic DNA appliance that utilizes epigenetic orthodontics. The appliance is only worn 12-14 hours/day. This will give considerable improvement.Y...
Yes, and it's important to have the x-rays of these teeth evaluated so that the CEJ (where the tooth enamel ends and the root begins) is not exposed during the surgery. This could lead to the possibility of needing veneers, which is best to know ahead of time prior to the surgery.
Hi there and thank you for your question. It would be ideal to wait until you have your procedure and your gum tissue has completely healed so that the entire surface of the tooth can benefit from the whitening. Good luck!
