Thinking about Invisalign? Don’t skip this step. If your gums are already thin or your bone is weak, moving teeth with Invisalign can sometimes make things worse, leading to gum recession.

That’s where SFOT (Surgically Facilitated Orthodontic Therapy) comes in. It strengthens the gum and bone before moving the teeth, which helps minimize the risk of recession down the road and sets your smile up for long-term health.

If you’re considering Invisalign, make sure a periodontist is part of your team. We can evaluate your bone and tissue first and help set you up for a healthier, more stable result.
