Is there any treatment available for my gum recession?

Monday, March 22nd, 2010
Q.
Hi Dr Caplan, My gumline has been receding gradually for the past 5 years and I have been told by my dental hygienist that it is due to overbrushing (not due to gum disease). My gum recession is quite mild and does not pose any problems, but I do not like how it looks. Is there any natural remedy for my gums to grow back, e.g. any gels I can apply to my gums to stimulate regrowth? Thank you! Cheers, Amanda,

Am I eligible for an inman aligner?

Friday, March 19th, 2010
Q.
Hi. When I was younger I had braces put in because my teeth were all overcrowded and they’d all overlapped. After wearing the braces they were all great. I got a bonded retainer on my lower teeth, but I didn’t wear the removable part of my retainer and the upper two front incisors overlap again, and the two teeth on either side stick out at the side. Besides these four teeth, all my teeth are in line and I was wondering if I would be eligible for an inman aligner to correct them?,
A.
It sounds like an Inman would … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
