Q. Hello i had an accident last week whilst having my aligners in. Anyway, my tooth has died now and it\’s gone a really dark colour. Could i get this whitened or not because i\’m undergoing the treatment? what do you think?,
A. If your tooth has died, it means you require root canal treament, and unfortunately discoulouration is something that can happen in a dead tooth. For cases like this, normal tooth whitening may not work and you may require internal bleaching, which is not that predictable unfortunately. Y ou may want to consider a crown once your invisalign treament has finished to improve the appearance of the dead tooth,
