Need to fix my bite and get gum graft, please suggest.

Q. I am nearly coming to the end of invisalign treatment and have found that my top front teeth have gone forward and caused me to have a bit of an overbite. Also my lower left canine gum has receded, which must be due to brushing too hard as I don’t have gum disease. Will invisalign refinements be able to push my front teeth back a bit? or is there any other treatment that can fix my bite? Where can I go to get a gum graft, as it is causing me a lot of anguish.

A. I guess refinement might help although this is very case specific.At my clinic in Chelmsford we have a periodontist who could carry out a gum graft, please call us on 01245 268 494 and we will be happy to arrange a visit to the clinic for an assessment.Regards  Andrew

The exact same thing happened to me! Perhaps it is a fault with Invisalign. My front teeth moved forward, giving me an overbite (or worsening the one I already had). I think this might have been due to only having anterior treatment, rather than full arch. I also had an attachment on lower left canine, and the gum on that tooth only has completely receded. This is also causing me a lot of anguish and is going to cost several thousand pounds to correct. Please let me know how you get on.
