When I had a consultation for 6 month smiles the dentist said the treatment wasn’t ideal. Could you advise?

November 24th, 2010

Q.
hi, I am trying to decide between invisalign and 6 month smile. I already had a consultation for invisalign and the dentist said i may only be 50% happy as it could sort out my wonky teeth at bottom but not maybe my overjet of two topfront teeth due to crowding. he said ideally fixed braces would be a better solution(as in 12-18 month ones) Another dentist offers 6 month smile. Could this be any more effective with overjet? both are offered as part of groupon deals so costs would work out same about 1400 pounds. Thankyou!,

Is it possible to have the attachments on the back of the teeth? Or can I have no attachments and just increase treatment time?

November 23rd, 2010

Q.
Hi Yesterday I had my first aligners fitted and i have attachments on the top and bottom. I thought the entire point of Invisalign was that they fitted close against the teeth and were invisble? My attachments are so obvious that i am horrified with the end result and i am considering giving up on the whole thing – howvever im not even sure this is an option as my dentist has had to shave between my teeth so now i have noticable gaps. I am so disappointed with Invisalign – no where on the website does it mention attachments – whats worse is that looking on the internet it seems everyone has to have them so why is this not stated as standard???? the main questions i want to ask are whether there are any alternatives? for example, can i have the attachments on the back of the teeth rather than the front? is it possible to have no attachments and just increase the period of wear instead? if i take the attachments off my teeth is there any way to remove the bump in the aligner? Please help – i am totally devastated! thanks ,
