I'm 16 years old and I have very crowded top and bottom teeth and an overbite but it isn't that severe. My two front teeth turn inward and my canines are a little high. My bottom teeth aren't very straight either, but everything after my top and bottom front teeth are pretty much straight. Recently they started getting more crowded. If I get teeth pulled will it help stop the crowding? Also, will invisilign fix my teeth faster than traditional braces?

Answer: Try to Correct Crowded Teeth WITHOUT Pulling Teeth
Unfortunately enamel does not regrow, It is important that you go to a good hygienist, some hygienist especially in high volume dental clinic do not do the cleaning appropriately and can cause you to lose enamel, I am not saying this is the case but just keep this in mind.
Yup...classic injection hematoma. Your blood vessels were disturbed and damaged during your numbing shots. It's not common, but happens to the best dentists in the world. Managing these trauma is a headache. Pressure and time is the best two medicines. Antibiotics...
I've had this same exact complaint from patients in the past. They had so much calculus build up which covered up their spaces between the teeth and recessed gums that once they got their teeth thoroughly cleaned, they blame the hygienist that she took their tooth structure or gum tissues...
