Teeth Shaving and Black Triangles w/ Invisalign?

January 30, 2011
Asked By:cuseorange in New York, NY

I recently asked a question about what to do about small gaps in my teeth. My teeth seem to be larger at the bottom than top: Can this be corrected by getting shaved down so they are more or less rectangular? Also would that, combined with invisalign and removal of the frenulum help to eliminate black triangles in my teeth/smile?
