I noticed a pretty large black triangle between my front teeth; it looks like it's because of my teeth shape. I did a bit of research and I'm not really liking the idea of a short term solution with bonding -- at this point, would something like IPR be possible if I were willing to do Invisalign? Also, just wondering if there are any dangers to leaving black triangles without any treatment. Could they maybe get larger and increase the risk of disease? Thanks.
Answer: Black Triangles are best with Bioclear Most dentists would agree that the best solutions are usually the least invasive. If we can avoid invasive treatment, we suggest that first. In this situation, Bioclear would be a great choice. To do braces again, and slim/polish the shape of the teeth, will require making the arch more narrow (close the space that was just created), however this has a domino effect to the lower arch. It takes something very minor and creating a tremendously complicated solution. Bioclear will fill in the spaces and last a very long time. A third option is porcelain veneers, but the cost and required removal of enamel makes that a "last resort" type of treatment.

Answer: Orthodontic treatment with IPR best solution The dark triangles between your two front teeth could be easily handled with either braces or invisalign and a very small amount of reshaping of the front teeth. This would not make your smile narrow as some suggest, and Bioclear (which is a brand name of bonding material) would make your teeth look very square. The amount of treatment would be minimal thus be a short treatment time (from what can be seen in the photos.)

Answer: Black triangles Unfortunately one of the unwanted side effect of invisalign is black triangles. So I believe doing invisalign makes your situation worse. I don't think the triangle is any problem as long as your dentist thinks the bone level & probing around these teeth are healthy. Looking at the photo your gum seems healthy but xrays & clinical exam (probing) are necessary to confirm.
