I'm considering Invisalign and one provider quoted £2300. My dentist is saying I have gum disease. I have had cleaning sessions done. The Invisalign provider at my dentist's office said to wait 6 months because of my gums and to get them in good condition.The other dentist who quoted £2300 said he didn't notice any major problem he has done 1500+ cases so far. Not sure whether to go ahead or not?

Answer: Treatment of Gum Disease is Paramount!
Invisalign needs only to be done on healthy gums. Make sure you listen to the dentist who is telling you to take good care of your gums even if the time frame is 6 months. Trying invisalign on unhealthy gums or any orthodontic treatment, will not go well. Once you have your gums healthy and get the dentist's ok, then go for the invisalign procedure. It is a wonderful way to keep your gums in good shape once your teeth are straight. You will be able to brush and floss properly and have a beautiful healthy smile! Good Luck!

Answer: Manage gum disease first, then Invisalign If your perio pockets depths have shrunken to a managable level and there isn't any active perio disease -- many gum problems are improved by straight teeth so it makes sense to get perio treatment first and Invisalign second.
