Will my Invisalign retainer be affected by my wisdom teeth?

April 28th, 2011

Hello
I have just had the first invisalgn retainer fitted but it does not cover my wisdom teeth. Is this correct because I think the wisdom teeth might stop my teeth moving, as don’t wisdom teeth affect normal teeth when then start coming out? Should i have the wisdom teeth removed or is that an overreaction?
many thanks doctor

I am in the middle of my Invisalign treatment but am soon to have my wisdom teeth taken out, will these affect the brace?

April 27th, 2011

Hi I have an Invisalign consultation booked for next month. Before that I have a six monthly check up with my dentist. I am slightly worried because the last few times I have been he has been monitoring my wisdom teeth which he says will need to come out at some point.

I have very crowded, crooked teeth and an overbite, could Invisalign treat this?

April 27th, 2011

my teeth are pretty bad, crowded, crooked and i have an overbite and so i feel i need to turn to braces. I was just going to go for metal braces but then i heard of invisalign which sound great, but i wonder how strong they are, are they only for mild smile imperfections or can they be used for someone like me who has numerous problems and teeth which are in pretty bad condition?

Thanks

I had a brace when I was younger but my teeth have relapsed, is Invisalign a viable treatment?

April 27th, 2011

as a child i had a head brace to correct many imperfection with my teeth such as a large overbite and overcrowding, the treatment was very painful and stupidly i didn’t wear the retainer i was given and so my teeth have drifted back into being crooked, not as bad as before but still noticable. My question is are the invisalign treatment a viable choice for me, are they strong enough and finally how painful are they as i really, really didn’t enjoy my head brace,

Many thanks
