Q. I seem to have a constant cold with my aligners in!! is this normal because we constantly have our hands in our mouths? i\’m really worried, what do you think?,
A. I have not heard of that before you could just be a bit more run down or it could be that you breathe more through your nose with the aligners in.

A. It should do, you should go and see your dentist and see if your bite needs any minor adjustments.

Q. Hello I\’m in the early stages of the Invisalign treatment and have to say that it is going extremeley well. However, yesterday one of the tiny attachments came free from my tooth. Is this something which will need fixing urgently or will it be okay to leave it for a few days? I\’m struggling to make an appointment with my orthodontist but am concerned about harming the treatment process. Many thanks, Robert,
A. Dear Robert, It should be fine to leave this attachment for a few days and get in to see your orthodontist as soon as possible to get it replaced. Simon

Q. I am 48 years old and just visited my orthodontist who said I need metal braces. I have a missing tooth in the bottom which has caused my middle teeth to shift and one of them is overlapping. My ortho said that invisilign would not correct this and need metal ones. Is this correct? I am 48 yrs old and would rather not have a mouth full of metal. please help,
A. It depends sometimes fixed braces are better fir certain situations. You might still be able to have invisalign it just might take alittkle bit longer.

Q. i smoke and want invisalign and idoubt i could give up smoking because i\’ve been doing it all my life. will smoking affect the invisalign treatment? thank you,
A. If you leave the aligner in your mouth when you are smoking, you are very likely to stain the aligners and your teeth! It would be better to remove the aligners everytime you decide to smoke although depending the number of times you smoke, you may find this tedious!

A. No the lisp does not last more than a couple of days. Our patients are instructed on how to get rid of the lisp. Dr R Kumar BDSLDSRCS

Q. Hey, i\’m nearing to end of my treatment now and my bottom row of teeth don\’t seem to have improved at all, they still look crooked. Why is this? what should i do about it?,
A. Sometimes the teeth can seem to not have moved. Some teeth especially lower teeth (due to their size) can be resistant to moving. The dentist can take some new impressions of the teeth and submit a case refinement. This is where Invisalign make some more braces to \”fine tune\” the teeth to get them in the correct position.
