Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I currently have aligners on and since I started the treatment I noticed a little white contour around my gums lower teeth, they lift a little bit. Is it something to be alarmed about?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
No, your gums are absolutely fine and nothing to be alarmed for. They are minor issues due to the realignment of the contour of your gums. Do continue to use aligner. When you remove your aligner please apply Rexidine M forte gel (Metronidazole, Lidocaine, and Chlorhexidine) (if you feel any discomfort).
It is just contouring your gums to the same level. If you carefully look to the image you uploaded you will notice those white lines only on the tooth that placed below. The probable cause is the realignment of the gingiva to contour it on the same level. The treatment plan involves continuing the use of aligners.
A follow-up is recommended after seven days, during which gel should be applied when the aligner is not in use. Using a simple mouthwash after brushing and performing warm saline gargles occasionally can help maintain gum health. Preventive measures include checking for any sharp edges and informing your dentist if any are present.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further.
Thank you.
