Q. the aligners aren\’t shifting the two gaps in my front teeth after having the treatment for 4 months now. I don\’t have long to go and I\’m really worried that the gaps are permanent and cannot be moved. How can I know if they are actually moving? Even if it\’s just a little bit?,
A. Your teeth will be moving if your aligners fit really well if there are spaces between your aligners and teeth then things have stopped working.

Q. An attachment on my front tooth isn\’t aligning properly with the rest and it really shows, I\’m not really bothered about the appearance of this because i know they aren\’t going to be there forever, however will this affect my tooth movement? thanks,
A. I am unsure what you mean. I would recommend seeing your Invisalign dentist.

Q. I was given elastics to use a few weeks ago because I have 2 very stubborn teeth which need pulling down. The thing is I don\’t think they\’re working, I haven\’t noticed any teeth movement and feeling slightly anxious about this because I\’ve finished with the aligners now,
A. It is very difficult for me to say what is happening withouth a clinical examination and the appropriate clinical records. You may require a case refinement if you are at the end of the treatment, which is sometimes necessary with Invisalign. I would recommend you see your Invisalign dentist and explain your concerns.

Q. I have a dental implant in my front right tooth and looking to get invisalign, is this wise? Can the invisalign damage the implant? thank you.,
A. Hello, The Invisalign will not be able to move the Implated tooth but all the reamining teeth might be able to have Invisalign. The best is to have a consultation at a Clinic where both an Implant Specialist and an Invisalign provider could have a look at the implant and your teeth prior starting Invisalign .

Q. Helloooo okay so i\’m 19 years old and my parents are buying me braces as a birthday present (because they cost so much!) i\’m considering invisalign but have a few questions. Firstly, how invisible are they? how long on average does a person have to wear them for AND do they hurt? i had fixed metal ones before and they were agonizing! thank you dr :),
A. They are fairly transparent. Treatment duration depends on the amount of movement your teeth need to move. Varies from 6 months to 3 years! When you do put in a new Invisalign aligner, the teeth do feel sore but nobody has ever said to me that the pain is agonizing.

Q. hi, one of my teeth has sort of moved up into my gum since having the invisalign. i\’m really concerned do you think elastics will help me? i\’m not due for an appointment with my ortho till next week so any advice would be great. thank you,
A. Phone your dentist, it might be part of the plan and the tooth may just be moved temporarily.

Q. Hello i\’m experiencing a lot of pain and discomfort from my new aligners (13/21) upper jaw, my teeth are aching a lot and my gums are very tender too. Why is this? Is there anything I can do to ease the pain? I\’ve noticed a little blood on my aligners too!,
A. They could be compressing the gums have your dentist check for tight spots. This aligner may be trying to move a more stubborn tooth. You may need to wear this aligner a bit longer before moving to the next one to ensure all the movement is complete.

Q. Hi! erm i\’ve managed to snap one of my attachments completely by accident! I\’m due to see my ortho but just wondering what he might say? Will i have to start the braces again cos\’ i\’ve been doing it for ages now! thanks,
A. Your orthodontist will either replace the attachment using your current set of braces or perhaps if the desired tooth movement has been achieved, he/she may wish to leave it off your tooth. I wouldn\’t worry about it.
