What to do: This is best discussed with the Orthodontist currently treating you. What were you told concerning this issue?We can't give you a pat answer based on such little information. You should have confidence in the Orthodontist who is treating you regarding treatment recommendations. If that's not the case, get a second opinion from a Board Certified Orthodontist in your area.

Talk to doc: honestly, they should have noted the root issue when you started unless there has been dramatic resorption in the past few months. you may want to switch to invislaign if the doc thinks that's an option as it will use more gentle forces-- of course there may even be risks of debonding at this point. net-net, the best person to figure out the answer with is your orthodontist-- see them.

Examination: If you have a root-length issue it should have been disclosed in your initial Orthodontic records. It's doubtful that there could be significant root resorption in just 4 months. Please discuss issue with your treating Dentist. Your treatment goals and overall treatment plan may have to be modified. If you are still concerned, seek 2nd opinion w a qualified Orthodontic Specialist.

Maybe Invisalign: When you have very short roots your orthodontist needs to move you teeth very slowly to prevent them from getting shorter. If you are a candidate for Invisalign you might ask him to switch you to that system.

Talk to your doctor: I would ask my doctor if the short roots he noticed are going to be problem for your treatment. Short roots do not necessarily mean treatment needs to be changed or altered. Just tell him you are concerned about it and would like to know his plan for your case.
