I have extremely sensitive teeth but really need a brace, would I be suitable for the Invisalign treatment?

April 27th, 2011
Q.

hi,

i have extremely sensitive teeth, with most specialised toothpaste having no effect at all. However, i do need orthodontic treatment on my top teeth and would prefer to have invisalign treatment as it seems the gentlest of all brace treatment. Would you say this is true and do you have any advice on helping sensitive teeth?

thanks

I have been told that I need root canal surgery, will this effect my Invisalign treatment?

April 18th, 2011
Q.

I chipped one of my front teeth a couple of years ago. At a recent check up I was told that there was permanent nerve damage and I may have to have a root canal.
I am in the process of saving up for Invisalign treatment which I was hoping to start soon. Could root canal work delay this and could starting orthodontic treatment with a newly done root canal have adverse consequences?

Would Invisalign express be suitable for treating just one tooth?

April 14th, 2011
Q.

I have only one tooth that sticks out at the front and it’s twisted at an angle of about 45 degrees. Do you think that Invisalign is ideal for this one tooth and can this be done with Invisalign express. Is it cheaper if you only work on one tooth rather than all my teeth?

The refinements my orthodontist has reccommended are hurting my jaw and causing headaches.

April 14th, 2011
Q.

Hiya

I finished my last tray of Invisalign last year and was really happy with the results. My dentist thought I still needed more doing, so after much dithering I agreed to undergo refinements. After a few moths of the process I felt like my bite was changing and was really uncomfortable. For my teeth to sit together I feel like I need to pull in m lower jaw. It feels strange and mu jaw muscles ache, I have also been noticing I have been getting headaches. My dentist says I will get used to it but I am not sure. I have lost confidence in the process a little bit, I am wondering whether continuing witht he refinements is a good idea or should I demand new x-rays and additional treatment? help I feel really lost here.

I have short roots so am using Invisalign to straighten my teeth, are there any bad side effects?

April 12th, 2011
Q.

I am going to get Invisalign in a couple of weeks. I had brace in my youth and have very short roots. Because of this my dentist wants to do all the orthodontic treatment as quickly as possible to prevent root resorption. Couldn�t this make the problem worse by apllying greater force to the teeth? I have not been able to find much info online so if you could give me some advice that would be great.

Can I use Invisalign for treating relapsed teeth?

April 12th, 2011
Q.

I had braces when I was younger and they gave me a really great smile. The problem is I hav been moving around a lot for work so have not really had the chance to visit a dentist regularly and I think my teeth have relapsed, I feel like they are pushing outward again and they are aching. Could I use Invisalign to treat this?
