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

October 26th, 2011
Q.

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 sort out crossbite?

September 20th, 2011
Q.

hello Dr Thorne

I had a brace a few years back, for a crossbite. My dentist didn’t give me a retainer so now my teeth have started to drift back into their old horrible position. Is invisalign able to treat this type of problem and once I have had the treatment can i have a retainer, preferably one that is fitted to the back of the teeth? How much do you think this would cost?

thank you Dr

Will invisalign help close the the gap between my teeth in time for my sisters wedding?

September 6th, 2011
Q.

hello doctor

i want to get invisalign for my two gappy front teeth, but was just wondering, typically, how long invisalign usually takes? What is the shortest time you have treated someone with it and what is the longest? i really wanted/needed my teeth to be straight in 7 months for my sisters wedding i was worried i’ll now be to late, do you think i’ll have enough time if i get treatment now or is it potentially to late?

thanks for your time

I have been told only metal braces can improve jaw alignment. Can Invisalign not help me?

April 1st, 2011
Q.

Dear Dr Raj

I have had two consultations at seperate dentists and the Dr’s have said that the way my upper jaw has grown from birth to now (26 years), that only metal braces would be suitable. :(

My two front teeth stick out a bit but otherwise they are all ok. Can you help with a nice smile?

I am unsure of the aesthetics of fixed braces, can you recommend an alternative?

January 24th, 2011
Q.
Hi Dr Viola, I think i have overcrowded tooth with one tooth (front) that has slight grown upwards and makes me look like a dracula. I have been to a dental surgery in london before but he said invisalign wouldn’t be the best option, fixed braces will be better. I sent some photos recently to two other dental surgery and one said fixed braces and another said inman aligner. I don’t mind spending good money to get excellent results but i’m totally confused what to go for. I definitely do not want to go for fixed braces as i am 27 and i have to do a lot of presentations- with fixed braces i’ll look horrible ! I also heard of sectional braces, would that work for me ? Oh pls help… Thank you,
