I have small teeth with gaps between them, are braces my best option?

November 24th, 2011

hello Doctor Thorne, I am 18 years old and am looking for brace treatment. I have little gaps between all of my front teeth and i wondered if the best option for me is to have braces to close the gaps? However, i am worried that this may make me have a ‘small’ smile, which may look a little abnormal.
what is your opinion on this matter?

Many thanks

I have come to end of my Invisalign treatment, but I am not completely happy, is there anything I can do?

November 7th, 2011

I am coming to the end of wearing the invisalign aligners and in two weeks i will start wearing the retainer. My front teeth were very overlapped, now the are much straighter however i have a big gap between them, especially at the top by the gums. My dentist told me my gums may drop into the gap but i have to say i dont believe him.

Is this possible? What can i do to close the gap? Or what can i do if i am not happy with the results?

Thank you

A.

Can Invisalign treat my protruding bottom jaw?

November 1st, 2011

do you have many patients who have invisalign for a protruding top jaw? I look so, so silly with my teeth and really want to have it all straightened out and made to look nice, but i would like something that doesn’t draw even more attention to my problem, hence why i want invisalign.

any information would be great doctor and hopefully hear from you soon

I am worried about the pressure of braces on my teeth, is Invisalign a good option?

October 26th, 2011

how much pressure does invisalign put on the teeth? I had braces when I was younger that were fixed and i have never felt pain like it. I stuck with them for a month but then could not take it any longer and had to have them out. I am now 30 and would really love to have a decent smile, but i have been put off for years by the thought of all that pain again! I though id ask about invisalign, just as it isn’t a fixed brace, so i was hoping that it wouldn’t be as painful. Am i right in thinking this, or are there any other braces that would be even gentler? Im not worried about how long it takes as long as it gets done.

thank you doctor

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?

What are the differences between Clearstep and Invisalign?

October 18th, 2011

is there much of a difference between clearstep and invisalign? I really want to have my teeth straightened but i do not want metal wires and brackets all over my teeth so I definitely think that these clear aligners are the way to go overall. My main problem is front teeth which are a litte bit crooked do you think that either treatment would be good for treating that?

thank you doctor thorne

Will my past gum disease ruin my chances of treatment with Invisalign?

October 18th, 2011

i had gum disease about 4 years ago and although it all seems to have abated, i know that it can return. Because of this gum disease some of my teeth have moved into unflattering positions and I am really unhappy with my smile. I would love to have straight teeth and really like the sound of invisalign, but i am worried that the gum disease may have weakened my teeth, gums and bones and that putting any pressure on them may cause horrible problems in the future. What should I do doctor?

Thank you

My teeth are moving after my Invisalign treatment, even though I wear retainers.

October 18th, 2011

Hi, i have finished my invisalign braces about six months ago. I was wearing my retainers every night but i noticed that my teeth had moved slightly so i have gone back to wearing my aligners at night. i have been advised that this can happen sometimes and that i can purchase additional aligners (the ones i have are damaged). Surely the retainers should have been made perfect in the first place? I do feel that this is just a gimmick to get more money

could you tell me how invisalign lite differs from normal invisalign? I’ve heard it is a little cheaper is that true? I have a gap between my front teeth, which I would really like closing, but I really want to find the cheapest option avaialble to me if possible. If it isn’t the best treatment what would you recommend doctor?
