Am I a Candidate of Invisalign if I Have Gum Recession with Widening of Smile?
toothygrinNov 22, 2011
I have minor crowding, no bite issues. Bite perfect but on right, teeth dont bite down in perfect zipper pattern like left. 2nd ortho can fix that issue + crowding + widen smile. 1st ortho will get straight teeth + IMPROVE zipper pattern just not 100% (says doing so + widening smile will worsen gum recession). Should I go with ortho who will preserve gum health and give near-perfect results or ortho who wants perfect cosmetic result + bite but could make my gum recession a lot worse?
