I don’t think my aligners are moving my teeth properly, what should I do?

January 26th, 2012
Q.

Hi, I have one wonky tooth next to my two front teeth (before the brace it was almost on its side) and am 3/4 way through my invisalign treatment. the tooth has rotated quite a lot since last march when i first got the braces but I’ve had to have a refinement due to a space in the bottom on the tray where the attachments didn’t fit as the tooth wasn’t moving down. Now on my refinement trays (14 new ones) the gap had returned. Is there any advice on what I can do? Thanks, for your time doctor thorne

Are adjustments after Invisalign treatment is complete normal?

January 23rd, 2012
Q.

hello doctor Thorne

Could you explain a little bit more about adjustments with invisalign braces? My dentist tells me that I need further work, longer than he estimated when i first got the braces and I just wanted to make sure that that was a normal thing to do and that I am not being lead on with further treatment.

Is is normal to have extra work to my teeth after the designated time?

thank you doctor for your time

What is the difference between Invisalign and Invisalign Lite?

August 23rd, 2011
Q.

hello doctors,
i hope you are having a good day

i just wanted to ask about invisalign lite. What exactly is the difference between invisalign and invisalign lite? I suffer from mild buck teeth which i don’t think would take too much to correct so what do you think would be the best treatment for me? Is one for more complex conditions that the other?

Thank you for your time and any help you can give doctors

I have had Invisalign for two years and still no results. What can be done?

May 11th, 2011
Q.

I have been receiving Invisalign treatment – I am un happy with the results and the dentist carrying out the process. Was initially told it would take 6 months to a year and it is now nearly 2 years. Have had 3 sets of refinements, teeth still move during the day with gaps appearing and still have crossed lower teeth. Dentist now suggests veneers? – I would rather have straight natural teeth which is what I have paid the £3500 for. Can’t find anywhere to complain. Not sure what to do next. Please can you offer some advice.

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?,
