“Can Invisalign fix black triangle teeth?”

Black triangle teeth are usually caused by gum loss or Periodontal disease. That issue should be addressed prior to doing the Invisalign. The Invisalign treatment will put the teeth in a tighter configuration and reduce the appearance of the black triangles. How much it effects the triangles will depend on how much gum and bone loss is present.

Hi,

It’s hard to determine without seeing you, but if you have periodontal bone loss and gum recession, most likely not!

Hello,

What a great question! Of course if you ask someone from invisalign, they will tell you invisalign can do just about pull down the moon.
Black triangles between teeth usually come from lack of gingival (gum tissue). This can come from recession caused by a variety of issues such as periodontal disease or simply from mal-aligned teeth when younger. When the gum tissue receeds it allows the darkness from inside the mouth show through between the teeth.
In short to fix black triangle teeth with orthodontics, the teeth would need to get pushed together more which would close the space between the teeth. Yes, as long as is a good idea for your mouth, invisalign can do it. Hope this helps.

My best to you!

The only thing that can fix black triangle teeth would be laminates. Triangles are areas of missing bone, the laminates can fill in the spaces with larger teeth. Even gum surgery will not fix it, because the problem is the loss of bone, not the teeth.

This can only be answered through an examination by a qualified dentist.

Usually it will not. Can improve with interproximal stripping if needed.
