I've noticed gum recession over the past year... since then I've been very careful with brushing slowly and softly with an extra soft brush and floss daily.. my dentists say I do not have gum disease...I do have some questions to prevent further recession

1. Will Sonicare cause recession? Or can I get away with careful brushing with a soft brush? I realize Sonicare is probably the best cleaning tool but am scared about being too hard on the gums

2. Will Invisalign cause recession? I have a minor case my teeth moving due to not wearing a retainer. I don't need to get Invisalign but may do it for cosmetic reasons. However, if the moving of my teeth could promote future recession - I'll think twice

3. Should I use mouthwash and if so - what's the best kind to prevent recession? A non-alcoholic, natural brand like Tom's?

4. I floss daily but am afraid to go down the side of the tooth beneath the gums because I feel this will cause future recession. What's the deal?

thx!!!

I had braces twice. I have many problems with my teeth. Beginning with braces, the first time at age 15, they didnt work. The second time i got braces at age 21, there wasnt even space for them to go back, so now my teeth relapsed, and our a little buck. My first dentist had also filed 3 of my molars saying he was correcting my bite, but it just made me start grinding my teeth at night. I wear a nightguard at night now. I have trouble chewing cuz most of my teeth are flat. I have many fillings, root canal, crowns, swollen gums, relapsing teeth that hurt. I hate my teeth, They not only look bad, but are also unhealthy. Should i remove all my teeth and get dentures at age 25? Are dentures very uncomfortable? I have dental insurance, but i'm not sure if it will help me cover for these reasons. I have been very depressed, I need advice. Thanks!
