Dear lybrate-user, during orthodontic treatment one or more teeth removal may be needed to create space ,i.e. When after diagnosis the amount of space available is found to be lesser than that required for orthodontic correction. It completely varies from person to person. Please consult your orthodontist, as the treatment has begun, he/she will be able to explain in detail based on your dental condition and xrays, and what they have planned for your treatment.

"Invisible braces" are here. Orthodontists call them "clear aligners". Aligners are one of many technological advancements that have made orthodontic treatment less conspicuous, and one of many "appliances" orthodontists use to move teeth and align jaws to create a healthy, beautiful smile.

Dear lybrate-user
gum recession has different grades and needs to be assessed by a specialist to assign that grade to it.
After we have assigned a grade can we proceed for treatment. As you can imagine lower the grade-easier/lesser/more successful the treatment.
And as the grade increases the complexity/cost/treatment duration also increase with consequent lowering of prognosis and full recovery.
Please see a specialist near you.
