Did you know that crooked or crowded teeth are about more than just aesthetics?
They can actually be a major hidden culprit behind gum recession! 😲🦷
Here’s the breakdown of why this happens: When teeth are out of alignment, some can be pushed outside the thick, protective bone housing of your jaw. Because the bone is thinner in these areas, the overlying gum tissue is also thinner and much more delicate.
This makes your gums highly vulnerable to receding from everyday friction, aggressive brushing, teeth grinding, or plaque buildup (since crowded teeth are much harder to keep clean!). 📉
The good news? We have a comprehensive, team-based approach to stop the recession and restore your smile's foundation:
✨ 1. Orthodontic Treatment: To fix the root cause, Dr. Julien Kim can expertly guide your teeth back into their proper, stable positions within the bone using Invisalign or braces. This removes the mechanical stress on the delicate tissues, makes cleaning easier, and helps prevent any further recession.
✨ 2. Gum Grafting: For areas where the gum has already receded and the root is exposed, Dr. John Han can perform a gum grafting procedure. This rebuilds that lost protective tissue, reduces sensitivity, and restores the natural, healthy look of your gumline.
A beautiful smile needs a strong foundation! 🧱
