Should I wear my aligners with gum recession?

February 7, 2019
Asked By:Camilles0686 in Ontario, CA

I started Invisalign but I have receding gums on one tooth. I had a deep cleaning done and no more gum bleeding or swelling, but the gum won’t reattach to teeth. I Have very little bone loss from the X-ray taken but I want to know should I continue with the aligners or get gum grafting first. And what can I do to prevent further bone lose. The tooth seem weak but not loose
