Do I have to have white fillings to complete my Invisalign treatment?

January 30th, 2012
Q.

Dear Vasileia,

I would truly appreciate if you could confirm me that in order to use invisalign you have to put some white fillings and its not possible to do the Invisalign treatment without them.

And if yes are these fillings very visible?

thanks

kind regards

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

November 28th, 2011
Q.

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.

Does Invisalign treatment leave any marks on teeth?

August 25th, 2011
Q.

hello doctor,

Do invisalign leave any marks on your teeth after the treatment like traditional braces. Obviously it won’t be the residual glue you get from metal braces but has it ever left scratches on teeth after treatment has been completed? I just ask because I plan to get my teeth whitened after my teeth are nice and straight and deserve to be shown off for once! and friends who have had braces and then whitening have experienced a blotched whiteness to their teeth due to where the brace had been. Does this ever happen with invisalign?
hope you can help and thank you very much for your time

I am unhappy with my Invisalign dentist. Can I stitch to another?

March 25th, 2011
Q.

Hi,
I’ve had invisalign for the past 3 months. When I went to my dentist, I told him that I was not happy with the gaps in my lower teeth. He told me that the only was to fix them was with braces. When I went in to get my aligners I had the buttons put on by his assistant. She had little experience and messed them up so the Dr had to redo them all! Also, he never gave me an explanation of my treatment, he didn’t tell me how long my treatment was, why it was so long (2 years), and he didn’t tell me why I had to wear rubberbands. When I go in for my 6 week visits I have only seen his assistant. Is this normal? Can I switch dentists?

How will having some attachments removed affect my invisalign treatment?

January 5th, 2011
Q.
My orthodontist removed a few attachments from my bottom teeth because I couldn’t remove the bottom aligner easily (it took us over ten minutes to get them off). The top ones were easier to remove, however. How will this affect my treatment? Should I ask for them to be put back?,

Is there any way Invisalign attachments can be placed on the back of the teeth?

December 23rd, 2010
Q.
I have an anterior open bite with about a 6mm opening and I understand that if I treat this with invisalign I will have to wear attachments on my front teeth and I am very self-conscious. Is there anyway these attachments can be placed on the back of the teeth and close the bite?,
