Having black triangles does not automatically mean the person doesn't take care of their teeth. It can also be from brushing too hard or scrubbing up and down vs circular motion.

[@salvatorelivreri]

As an orthodontist, I always explain to patients (who are at risk of this) that they very likely will develop these black triangles. I proceed to show them examples with photos. In some patients, it can be minimized. In others, they are S.O.L. and that it a very difficult conversation indeed. My very wise instructor in orthodontic school told me 22 years ago: “If you tell a patient ahead of time what will happen, it is an EXPLANATION. If you tell them after it happens, it is an EXCUSE.” I explain a lot of stuff the first day I meet someone.

The gaps don'tnecessarily mean receding gums. They are quite common with orthodontic treatment where papilla is not properly formed between crooked teeth, and when they get straightened it doesn't fill it as it should.

I’m currently doing Invisalign and when the crowding started to disappear the triangles showed up. The treatment was done and he asked me if I had refinements and I told him I didn’t like the gaps. We started more trays and he “sawed” in between my two top and bottom teeth to help with the gap.

[@skyefirenails]

I have a large black triangle because an orthodontist didn't realize i had an unerupted canine on the bottom left when he put braces on my bottom front teeth to pull over an incisor that was coming in sideways and in the wrong place. Now that unerupted canine is still in my jaw, but in between my incisors, leaving me with a large black triangle. And I take good care of my teeth.

I had to have a skin graft surgery (in my mouth!) when I was 11 years old because I had horrible gum resorption. It wasn't due to me not brushing or flossing either, I've never had a cavity and im 32! It just was a receding gum line on the bottom. Weird.

It can be because of continuous forces towards that area or an irritation. Plaque is not the only reason. Maybe you were having some paradontal habits like sucking the front part of your gums.

[@sarahe7515]

This is old but it is ironic. I asked my dentist if I should get retreatment (I had braces as a kid and he does Invisalign very well but I would probably go to an orthodontist for that). Anyway, he told me the small gap I developed after I had my youngest (mine is more towards canines) is from gum recession and he wouldn’t bother worrying about it. I got it after throwing up non stop when I was pregnant. I had issues with all 3 pregnancies. We both decided that retreatment wasn’t for me and he gave me sensodyne and checked the bonding that treated the exposed area that was fixed 4 years ago in that area. Even that small amount hurts when exposed and gum recession isn’t a walk in the park. Get it under control with a good dentist.

Hi a few questions!!!!!! 1. Why do teeth grow in and have a huge gap in between about a thick as a coin, what do I need to do to fix it 2.
