For starters, you still have a beautiful smile! There is some misalignment of your front teeth and there are some issues with the levels/heights of your front teeth. There is something called a smile arc, which simply means the edges of your top front teeth should follow the curve/arc of your lower lip.

How long would it take to correct my teeth with braces? Do I need implants?

Is it possible for gums to reshape into black triangles that show up after Invisalign?

Unlikely
Jun 26, 2021

Unfortunately your gums will not “grow” and refill the black triangle. Black triangles are often caused by an issue with the shape of the teeth and how they contact each other, as well as the teeth being moved out of the bone/gums due to flaring or extruding the teeth during orthodontic treatment to gain alignment. Age also plays a role in all of this, which could explain why you didn’t have an issue your first go around with orthodontics. Often times to correct black triangles we will file …

Can I still get braces with chipped teeth?

Yes
Jun 15, 2021

Hi! Yes you can; however, sometimes it is more beneficial to have certain chips restored by a cosmetic dentist first prior to braces in order for the bracket to be placed in the correct position. It also depends on what type of braces are being used.
