Hi,
Thank you for your question. No, invisalign treatment does not cause gum problems, in fact it maintain a good oral health since you have to remove the aligners to drink (unless you are drinking water), eat and brush. Flossing is the best way to clean your gums and by having invisalign treatment, flossing and brushing become very easy compared to having traditional braces treatment where oral hygiene can become a bit challenging due to the brackets and wires (but not impossible to brush and floss either). Hope this helps. Happy Holidays.

Invisalign itself does not cause gum problems if it is planned properly. If there is too much expansion because of the crowding, it can lead to a gum recession.
