Is it usual to straighten teeth using crowns instead of braces?

April 5th, 2012

How common is it to straighten teeth only by crowns and not using any braces? My cosmetic dentist is proposing to do 22 crowns! I am 66yrs old and I have a lot of big fillings. He says he can create space (1mm) by changing my bite and that my jaw muscles will accomodate this. He says my crooked teeth will not easliy move with a brace but says my teeth when crowned, will be re-aligned. I have a very deep bite on my front teeth resulting in excessive wear on LR1&2 and LL1&2. Advice please

What can I do to stop my teeth moving again?

December 9th, 2011

I have been wearing my invisalign braces since Sept, since then I have spoken with numerous people who have worn braces at some point in their life, most having got them young therefore not having to pay, generally most say that after a few years they notice slight movement, even though they wore the retainer for the suggested period, obviously having spent a lot of money on this treatment, I am looking for any advice you have that will help prevent future movement?

Can Invisalign straighten my teeth again and what can I do to stop them relapsing again?

November 28th, 2011

Hello doctors,

I wonder if you could help me. I had braces about 10 years ago and my teeth within that time have relapsed. They are not as bad as they were, but I still would prefer them to be straight. A mild amount of crowding has occurred at the front of my mouth, probably because my wisdom teeth have come through and caused a bit of tightening. Anway, i waffle i was just wondering could invisalign treat this and will it be able to stop it relapsing again?

thank you very much for reading and for your time.

Can Invisalign straighten my crossed teeth in 4 months?

October 21st, 2011

i am looking for fast effective treatment to be completed in 4 months for crossed over front teeth. Do you think it is at all possible for me to received those kind of results in that time with invisalign? The crossed teeth are the only problems I have and I do not have any dental or gum disease, so that will not be a problem when it comes to treatment. Do you think Invisalign would be a good choice?

thank you

Thank you

My teeth have relapsed after previous brace work, can Invisalign move them back into place?

September 7th, 2011

Hi, I had quite a lot of orthodontic work done during my early teens and by 16 I had a perfect set of teeth but stupidly stopped wearing my retainers. I’m 19 now and have notices my teeth are going into a square shape at the bottom, and my top two front teeth are crossing slightly. I’m really upset! My overbite has also worsened slightly, but maybe thats just from the square shape of my bottom teeth? Would invisalign me good for me?

Thanks!

Can you tell me if Invisalign requires tooth removal?

August 25th, 2011

Hi,

does invisalign often involved tooth removal at the start of the treatment. I have had a bad experience with this procedure before and would like to avoid it. I have heard that some practices offer the sedation option would you know of any recommended practices which offer this treatment?

thank you very much for your time doctors

Can you tell me how many aligners are normally needed to complete Invisalign treatment?

August 25th, 2011

Hello doctors, i hope you are well

could you tell me the general number of aligners you experience people using and what the usual time scale is for an ‘average’ case? My teeth aren’t that bad i just have a gap between my front teeth and some slight gaps between two other teeth, nothing too major but enough to make me feel unhappy with my smile. I ask about the time scale because i am getting married in 3 months and would really like to look my best in the photos with my gorgeous wife to be. If you help me achieve the smile I need i’ll be sure to invite you both to the wedding! lol

thank you very much for your time doctors
