I have short roots so am using Invisalign to straighten my teeth, are there any bad side effects?

April 12th, 2011
Q.

I am going to get Invisalign in a couple of weeks. I had brace in my youth and have very short roots. Because of this my dentist wants to do all the orthodontic treatment as quickly as possible to prevent root resorption. Couldn�t this make the problem worse by apllying greater force to the teeth? I have not been able to find much info online so if you could give me some advice that would be great.

Should I get veneers or Invisalign to fix my crooked teeth?

March 24th, 2011
Q.

my front top teeth are crooked and two of my other teeth overlap. i really want to get this sorted out but i’m not sure of the best way. i am looking at veneers or invisalign, the good thing about veners is they will be quick but i’m worried about having to get them replaced, would invisalign have more permanent results??,
