Whether you are suitable for black triangle closure depends on various factors, such as the cause of the black triangles, the health of your gums, and the structure of your teeth.

A thorough in-person assessment by Dr Tran will help determine the most appropriate treatment for you.

Bioclear™ is a minimally invasive dental technique used to close black triangles and improve the appearance of teeth. It does not require the removal of natural tooth structure, but the surface of the teeth are cleaned and lightly roughened to improve bonding.

While it offers many benefits, there are some potential risks and considerations to keep in mind:

1. Chipping or Fracturing: Although the composite material used is strong, it may still chip or fracture over time, especially if subjected to excessive force or if proper care isn't taken.

2. Staining: Composite materials are more prone to staining compared to natural tooth enamel or porcelain, especially if exposed to staining agents like coffee, wine, or tobacco.

3. Durability: While durable, the Bioclear composite is not as long-lasting as other restorative options like crowns or veneers, and may need periodic maintenance or replacement.

4. Technique Sensitivity: The success of the procedure is highly dependent on the dentist's skill and experience with the Bioclear method. Inexperienced practitioners may not achieve the optimal aesthetic or functional results.

5. Gum Irritation: Some patients may experience temporary gum irritation or inflammation after the procedure, particularly if the composite material extends slightly below the gum line.

6. Tooth Decay: If the composite material is not properly maintained with daily brushing and flossing, it can accumulate plaque plaque can accumulate. This can increase the risk of tooth decay in the areas surrounding the restoration if proper oral hygiene is not maintained. Regular dental check-ups and good oral care practices are essential to prevent this issue.

This is only a brief list of risks. Other risks may affect your particular case which have not been mentioned. You will require a complete consultation with a dentist to determine what risks exist in your case

Black triangle closure can be completed in a single appointment following an initial consultation appointment.

Multiple black triangles can be closed in a single appointment. The length of the appointment is determined by the number of the black triangles to be closed and the difficulty of individual cases

We typically recommend a consultation with Dr Tran when you are close to completing your orthodontic or Invisalign treatment (typically 4-6 weeks from finishing). This allows us to coordinate with your orthodontist on the removal of attachments/brackets and to ensure your final retainer fit well to the composite bonding.
