Can Invisalign Cause Gum Recession?

In this video, Dr. Nemeth discusses some of the things that can cause gum recession.

Can Invisalign Cause Gum Recession?

Orthodontic movement, such as braces or Invisalign, can make you more susceptible to gum recession. 

Conventional Ortho has greater capability to cause recession than Invisalign. Rapid movement of the teeth in the jaw bone is more likely to cause recession than slow/minor movement.
Other oral health risks

Invisalign braces have to be cleaned very often. If not properly taken care of, it can lead to Bad Breath.

Tooth Vitality: If you have experienced a previous injury to the teeth, there is a possibility that the Invisalign® treatment could damage or kill the nerves. If we find that there is damage to the nerve, we may recommend that you get an endodontic treatment like a root canal or restorative surgery first.

Crowns and fillings: Since Invisalign® covers the teeth with a tray that is designed to adjust the teeth, there is always a chance that fillings get dislodged, or a crown may become damaged.

Discomfort: Dental tenderness is very common with first-time users of. We advise patients to expect some scratching of the cheeks, gums, and lips. This discomfort will typically last a few days while you are getting used to having a foreign object in your mouth.  Afterwards, you should feel comfortable during the rest of your treatment.

Root resorption: Invisalign® has to cause a cellular response in the roots of the teeth in order to let them move. On rare occasions, it is possible for the cellular response to damage the ends of the roots of the teeth. The teeth can also become damaged after the treatment if you lose gum support or gone due to a periodontal disease, and if there was root resorption during the treatment. Having your teeth cleaned at least twice a year while straightening your teeth, will help to prevent this from happening.If you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment, please visit our website
