I’ve Had Gum Disease in the Past. Will Invisalign Cause Future Problems?

August 19th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Akere. I had gum disease just over 2 years ago, but my mouth is more or less okay now. I do know that gum disease isn’t just a one-time thing and can come back. Because I had gum disease for quite a long time, my teeth have changed positions and my smile doesn’t look very nice now. I’m dying to have straight teeth and Invisalign sounds great but I’m worried that my gums and teeth are weaker because of the gum disease so will Invisalign cause problems for me?

Could bone loss have anything to do with previous Invisalign treatment?

Q.
I finished my Invisalign course almost a year ago. Unfortunately during a follow up appointment my dentist noted bone loss and recommended bone augmentation. Could this be anything to do with the invisalign. And more importantly, how much is it going to hurt!!!!!,
