A member asked:
How is treating gum recession different for someone with disproportionately large teeth relative to the gums and mouth? periodontists don't seem capable of helping me even after i had orthodontic treatment. gum grafts never last for me.

Clenching: Could be a sign that you are clenching and or grinding your teeth. You should be evaluated by someone that treats TMJ Dysfunction, a simple night guard will not help with this problem but a properly designed orthotic can help.
