Do you have a invisalign practice in the north? Also i am awaiting

May 31st, 2009

Q. Hi, Do you have a practice in the north? Also i am awaiting an application for Disability Living Allowance would that help if there was a discount available?
A. Hi

unfortunately I do not have a practice up north. Invisalign is not offered under the NHS so you would not be able to get a discount.

Is invisalign teen cheaper than invisalign for adults

May 30th, 2009

Q. hello is invisalign teen cheaper than invisalign for adults and can you use invisalign teen if you are 25 or do you need to be 13 to 19 to qualify for invisalign teen?
A. Invisalign teen is designed for people between 13-17 as they are still growing and new adult teeth erupting.  As you are 25 traditional Invisalign is the one you need.

Is inman aligner better than invisalign?

May 29th, 2009

Q. Is inman aligner better than invisalign? I have been reading abount inman aligner and i have really badly crooked teeth and my orthodontist has recommended braces but i have been reading about the Inman Aligner and was wondering if this is better than invisalign because i read it only takes 8 weeks and invisalign could be 2 years? thank you in advance
A. The inman aligner is very good at straightening the front  four teeth (incisors) only.  It sounds like you need more advanced orthodontics so I would always recommend Invisalign or fixed braces.  They do take longer but you will get a more complete result. Other options are available to straighten your teeth such as 6 month smiles which looks to straighten the front 10 teeth in your mouth once again this is not as complete a treatment as Invisalign or traditional fixed braces.

do you know an experienced invisalign dentist in scotland?

May 29th, 2009

Q. hello Dr Raj i have had a look at your website and your case studies looks very impressive are all of those cases done with invisalign because my orthodontist says that invisalign cannot fix my problem even though my teeth are not as bad as some of the ones on your website. I would love to come and see you but i am in glasgow do you know anyone that is experienced with invisalign in glasgow?

A. Dear Sir/Madam, many thanks for the compliment; yes these are all my cases with advanced Invisalign.

I do have patients from many countries including Dubai, Scotland,France and even Australia so you are welcome to come to London. As my experience with Glasgow I do not know any dentists that have done as many cases.

is clearstep better than invisalign?

May 29th, 2009

Q. is clearstep better than invisalign my dentist does clearstep and said this is much better and faster than invisalign so i wanted to check with the invisalign experts before deciding what to have done. I have been quoted £4200 for clearstep treatment does this sound about right?
A. Price wise they are both very similar. I have used both systems and I have generally found that clearstep takes longer.  I still use clearstep for certain cases.  You may want to get an invisalign consultation so you can compare.

should i have metal braces or invisalign for gaps?

May 29th, 2009

Q. hello i was wondering if invisalign can be used to fix gaps between teeth if the gap is the size that can fit a pea through or will i be better off to get real metal braces?
A. hello
Invisalign could close the gaps depending on the postion of the teeth in your mouth.If it is a single arch treatment you are looking for you should consult your dentist to find out which option is the quickest way to align your teeth.

Is there an age restriction on invisalign teen

May 27th, 2009

Q. Is there an age restriction on invisalign teen as my son who is 19 needs his teeth straightening but i am wondering if he is too old for invisalign teen? Can you tell me why you would choose invisalign teen over normal adult invisalign for my son? thanks in advance

A. Dear Sir/Madam,
Invisalign can be started as early as 14 but as your son is 19 he will the ideal age. Invisalign teen has been created for teenagers who do not wear their aligners on a regular basis and hence need more time for each one. Sometimes they lose an aligner and so up to 3 are provided free of charge.

Having done Invisalign for over 5 years I can safely say that teenagers are very compliant and will be very happy with normal/teen Invisalign

do your find your patients find invisalign painful

May 27th, 2009

Q. Hi i was wondering do you find your patients find invisalign painful, i have been told that invisalign may hurt and give me sore gums is this true?

A. Dear Sir/Madam,
having treated myself with Invisalign I can safely say that Invisalign does not hurt. You will not get sore gums as the aligner is trimmed to be short of the gums. Having treated over 500 patients I have to say  that no one has ever abandoned the treatment due to pain or discomfort.
