Is invisalign able to close gaps between teeth?

September 24th, 2009
Q.
Hello Dr, I have been told that Invisalign only works on overcrowded teeth and not on closing gaps up which is my problem. However on the Invisalign website in America they show cases like mine being treated. I’m desperate to improve my smile which is not terrible but being 28 I don’t want metal braces. There is gaps between most of my upper teeth but the bottom row is fine. The top row are slightly protruded too and the bottom row are close up behind them so both sets may have to move back slightly. I have plenty of room and always thought that this wouldn’t be a problem. I have the money and could start treatment tommorrow given the green light. I hope you can help me Thankyou for reading.

At what age should you take your child for their first dentist appointment?

September 14th, 2009
Q.
Hello, my child is quickly growing up (one years old already!)and is getting some baby teeth through already. What is the best age to take a child in to the dentist for their first check up? I want to make sure my child’s teeth are taken care of well, as my own were not given the best of care when I was younger.

How long will a crown typically last?

September 10th, 2009
Q.
I got a crown for one of my teeth when it got broken off. I had to get the whole tooth removed through surgery. This was around two years ago. When I go to the dentist she says the crown is holding up well, which makes me worry about how long it will actually last. She did mention the option of an implant when we first discussed what I could do, but I chose a crown becuase it was cheaper. How long do crowns typically last?

Do lower dentures fit less well than upper dentures?

September 9th, 2009
Q.
I currently wear complete upper dentures and they fit fine, after an initial time of uncomfortableness. However, my bottom teeth are not in particularly good condition either, but I would rather not get dentures for them as I have heard they fit less well than upper dentures. Are there any other options available, or am I hearing wrong in the first place?
