Any type of Ortho can cause gum recession but so can aggressive tooth brush abrasion or genetics.
no
It won’t cause it. But the gum and bone may not move with the tooth, this appears to cause the recession.
Yes. The teeth can be expanded outside of the bone, which can cause a recession. All orthodontic treatment must be closely monitored.
Yes, Invisalign or any orthodontic therapy can cause bone loss and/or gum recession depending on how much tooth movement is necessary. Sometimes gum grafts are necessary before and/or after orthodontics. Your dentist would be the best source to seek advice from.
Invisalign as a form of braces can cause recession with some type of tooth movements like expansion or rotation. The recession has a wide range of origin and you should check it with your orthodontist.
