Q. Hi, I have 4 crowns in and one sticks out more than it should so I\’m a bit worried that it\’s going to interfere with my new invisalign braces. Should I be concerned?,
A. Well if these are new crowns then yes. If they are existing crowns then your dentist dd take an impression over them, so you should not worry Dr R Kumar BDSLDSRCS

Q. I am going to need refinements and they are included in the original price. Is this for impressions and all that? Will it be the same length to wear each one as before? Hope you can answer.,
A. The cost of the refinements are usually included. There may be up to 10 new aligners for mild refinement. Each one should be worn for 2 weeks each.

Q. Hi I went for an invisalign consultation and they said I\’m suitable which is great but my dentist has told me I need my wisdom tooth extracting because it\’s going to cause trouble for the treatment. How long will I have to wait after I\’ve had the tooth extracted for the invisalign impressions? Thanks,
A. I doubt if your wisdom teeth would be involved in creating space for the Invisalign. You could have impressions and then have teeth out. The braces take 4-6 weeks to arrive which would give the sockets time to heal Dr R Kumar BDSLDSRCS

Q. Hey, i\’m nearing to end of my treatment now and my bottom row of teeth don\’t seem to have improved at all, they still look crooked. Why is this? what should i do about it?,
A. Sometimes the teeth can seem to not have moved. Some teeth especially lower teeth (due to their size) can be resistant to moving. The dentist can take some new impressions of the teeth and submit a case refinement. This is where Invisalign make some more braces to \”fine tune\” the teeth to get them in the correct position.

Q. I\’m about to have the invisalign fitted next week and was told yesterday that i need a filling! will this affect how my aligners fit? i don\’t want to wait any longer for the treatment, i\’ve already waited ages. thanks for the help,
A. Hopefully not, if the new filling can be shaped to the originbal tooth shape it should not be a problem make sure dentist checks the fit of your aligners after the filling is completed. If the filling is very large you may need new impressions.
