Asked By:akefrogs in Fort Worth, Texas

Congenitally missing lateral incisors had Invisalign starting at 11 (more aesthetic than traditional braces). At 17 my prosthedontist placed Marilyn bridges until I could get implants (still growing). I got implants last year, titanium. Then the prosthedontist set the ceramic/porcelain crowns on custom abutments, with screws. My gums seemed concave so periodontist did gum graft which slightly helped. Now I see grey in the actual crown in sunlight. I also see a slight grey line at gum and crown.
