Is it ok to have Invisalign after suffering with gum disease?

December 5th, 2011
Q.

Is it ok to have invisalign if you have had gum disease in the past? I had it about 5 years ago and my teeth haved moved because of it. I would like to have my smile straightened out with invisalign so no one will see it, but am worried that my gum disease will come back, because i have to have the brace in my mouth all the time. What do you think?

thank you

I have recently overcome gum disease, would I be able to have Invisalign?

Q.

Hello Doctor,

I wonder could you tell me, how long after gum disease are you allowed to have invisalign? I recently underwent some periodontal cleaning after my gums became swollen and sore. My dentist has xrayed my mouth and am I very lucky in that the disease hasn’t got to the roots. It has been 4 months since my cleaning and I have made sure to maintain a thorough cleaning routine brushing my teeth daily using mouthwash daily and flossing every few days.
I plan to go to my dentist in the next couple of weeks to confirm but just wanted to ask whether in your professional opinion, I would be viable for Invisalign? Thank you very much for your time doctor and any information you can give
