I never wanted ‘unsightly’ braces now i’m 63 would I qualify forclear braces?

September 15th, 2011

I am 63 years old and have quite a large overbite. I have always disliked my prominent teeth but have never had the courage to wear a brace because of them being so unsitely. Now that they have ‘invisible braces’ I am eager to know if I could potentially be a candidate for this treatment and how much treatment itself costs.
Could you help

Thanks

Can Invisalign correct my crooked teeth and ‘fangs?’

August 23rd, 2011

i have really, really horrible teeth, which are crooked and twisted and then have those weird fang things, with my teeth growing out of my gums! i really like the idea of invisalign as it just so much more unnoticeable than other braces, but do you think i am a viable candidate for this, or is there a brace system better suited to me? If there are other braces better for my condition could you please recommend them to me?

thank you for your time

Can Invisalign correct the damage my tongue thrusting has caused?

July 26th, 2011

I have a problem with my tongue, i think it’s called tongue thrusting, and it has effected my front teeth, so they kinda jut forward. I was wondering if invisalign would be a good brace for sorting this out? Also, i will probably be needing something after the treatment to stop my tongue from ruining my smile, could you tell me is there is anything like that available?

thank you

I’ve just had my braces removed and my teeth look bigger.

May 10th, 2011

I had my braces removed after 18 months (upper ceramic and lower metal) 3 months ago. My teeth are bigger as a result, especially the two front teeth. I’ve been told that this is as a result of the bone reforming/changing shape and not because they have been pulled from the gums. I’m disappointed with the result. Will the teeth eventually shorten after a period of time? The top 2 rows are also slightly pushed outwards and i smile less than i used to.

I have extremely sensitive teeth but really need a brace, would I be suitable for the Invisalign treatment?

April 27th, 2011

hi,

i have extremely sensitive teeth, with most specialised toothpaste having no effect at all. However, i do need orthodontic treatment on my top teeth and would prefer to have invisalign treatment as it seems the gentlest of all brace treatment. Would you say this is true and do you have any advice on helping sensitive teeth?

thanks
