im receiving treatment for gum disease and is it possible to straighten my teeth
Q. Hi, I have been recieving dental treatment fo gum disease for almost 2 years including deep pocket cleaning etc.I have since developed a buckled front tooth which has started to move resulting in a small gap (through bone movement)i would like to have the tooth straightened or repaced. Is this an option? i am about to be discharged with regular dental and hygiene visits as an aftercare opion. Thank You
A. It really depends on how much bone is left under the gum and how healthy the tooth is . You could straighten your teeth with orthodontics provided low forces are used or have the tooth removed and have an implant placed if the tooth is not healthy. You need to find a cosmetic dentist that understands orthodontics and implants so you can have all the options.
