Invisalign Guide

My Invisalign attachments have come off, but my dentist doesn’t seem to be that concerned.

December 15th, 2011

Hi I’m just starting my Invisalign odyssey, in am about a week into my first tray and two of the attachments have fallen off. i rang the dentists office and the receptionist told me as long as the aligner stayed in it wasn’t a big deal if the attachments had fallen off. Is this right? otherwise whats the point in having the attachments? any help you give on the matter to help me clear it up would be great.

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?

It feels like my teeth are moving, could Invisalign or Clearstep straighten them?

December 9th, 2011

Over the past few years my front teeth have started to move and have lost what was a very straight line. They also seem to tingle every so often, like they are on the move again! I looked at Clearstep with my dentist some time ago, but due to overcrowding they wanted to remove four healthy teeth before bracing, so I was against the idea. Could the 6 month Invisalign be the answer to put my front teeth back in place, without having any removed? My teeth are a bit crooked accross the bottom, but I only wanted to address the change in the teeth that show.

Can my missing tooth gap be used to spread out my croweded teeth, or should I get an implant?

December 9th, 2011

hello

does invisalign straighten out teeth that have moved because of tooth loss? I have lost my tooth on my top jaw due to an accident and have stupidly left it for years, now my teeth have moved and look awful. If i use invisalign will it move the teeth into that gap and will that look ok, or should i get an implant before had to replace the gap?

what do you recommend doctor?

thank you

Is Invisalign the best brace to close a front tooth gap and move my crowded teeth?

December 7th, 2011

hello Doctor Thorne,

I hope you can help. I am looking into finally getting some braces for my teeth, which have a very big gap between the front two teeth and then the rest of the top jaw (teeth I mean) are severely crowded. Obviously this doesn’t look at all attractive, so I am looking for the best treatment to close up the gap and spread out the other teeth (I guess that’s what would happen) Do you think that invisalign would be up to this job?
if so how long could you estimate it would take and how much would it cost?

thank you very much

Is it ok to have Invisalign after suffering with gum disease?

December 5th, 2011

Is it ok to have invisalign if you have had gum disease in the past? I had it about 5 years ago and my teeth haved moved because of it. I would like to have my smile straightened out with invisalign so no one will see it, but am worried that my gum disease will come back, because i have to have the brace in my mouth all the time. What do you think?

thank you

HI, i am now 17, and received dental treatment from my local orthodontist around 3/4 years ago my treatment lasted about 18-24 months, when my braces were removed I traveled for a summer holiday during the trip i lost my retainers which i was given after my treatment i didn’t think to contact my orthodontist, years later i have noticed a slight move of my lower set of teeth but a more substantial move of the upper ones, i was wondering if it would be advised to get the treatment re-done, would appreciate some advise possibly to do with the invisalign treatment to.

My teeth stick inwards, would Invisalign be able to treat this?

November 28th, 2011

my top teeth kinda stick inwards, if you get what i mean. So i look like a ruddy chipmunk, which of course is not a nice look. I was wondering if you could use invisalign to treat my problem, or would i require a different type of brace for that? Could to recommend a good brace if invisalign isn’t the right type of brace for me?

thank you doctor for any help that you can give to me

My bottom set of aligners don’t seem to fit properly, what should I do?

November 28th, 2011

Hello, I’m currently on my second tray of invisalign. I wore the first set for four weeks, but the top tray didn’t fit on my front teeth after the four weeks while the bottom fit fine. With the second set I got attachments. The bottom tray fits, but I’m having the same problem with the top tray. I’m supposed to wear this set for three weeks. Should I be worried that my top tray doesn’t fit? It’s just the four front teeth that don’t go all the way onto the tray and you can see the gap between the tray and the teeth.

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.
