Is a retainer after Invisalign important?

August 24th, 2011

hello

I have completed my treatment and am very happy with the results, but i haven’t been given a retainer. I thought that would be part of the cost, am I right in thinking that? I really don’t want to waste all the work and i really like the way my teeth look down how much is it to buy a retainer for my teeth? Is a removable one as good as one fixed to the back of the teeth?

thanks

I’ve missed out in orthodontic work when I was 16, now I am 19 what will I have to pay?

August 24th, 2011

Hello Doctor,
When i was 16 my dentist referred me to an orthodontist for braces, he explained that the waiting list was long but i was prepared to wait as I have fangs and they really get me down so i cant smile. After waiting ansd waiting i hadnt heard anything so contacted my dentist only to be told that basically there was no record of the referal I do not know what went wrong but I had waited over 2 years for this (now being 18) I did not know what to do I was so angry and upset my dentist did not provide no help whatso ever. I am no just 19 and in full time education so obviously cannot afford braces can you provide any advice please? thank you for your time

Treatment to close front tooth gap has caused other gaps. What can be done?

August 24th, 2011

Dear Mr Kumar,
Hope you are in the best of health.
My question is that I have a gap in my top two front teeth and I have an over bite.

I am half way through a four month treatment with Clearstep and I have been told now that even though the gap between my front two teeth is closed I will now be left with gaps through the rest of my teeth.

Also after an hour of not wearing the clearstep my teeth start to move as they have gaps in them and the dentist has recommended that at the end of my treatment he will fill the gaps with a filler in order that they do not move.

I am now thinking of my options and want to know whether I will have the same problems with invisalign.

Kind Regards

A.

Can Invisalign correct my crooked teeth and ‘fangs?’

August 23rd, 2011

i have really, really horrible teeth, which are crooked and twisted and then have those weird fang things, with my teeth growing out of my gums! i really like the idea of invisalign as it just so much more unnoticeable than other braces, but do you think i am a viable candidate for this, or is there a brace system better suited to me? If there are other braces better for my condition could you please recommend them to me?

thank you for your time

Can Invisalign correct my buck teeth?

August 23rd, 2011

hello Dr ,

I am looking into the possibility of having the invisalign invisible braces treatment for my front teeth which are bucked teeth and stick out quite a lot. Do you think that it would be ok for me to have invisalign for this condition? I am really, really interested in the braces as my friend had one and you just can’t see it at all which is great for me. What is the general price for the treatment with buck teeth like me?

thank you for your time and feedback.

I have lots of little gaps between my teeth, what are my options to close them?

August 23rd, 2011

hello

I have lots and lots of little gaps between my teeth, almost as if my teeth are smaller than normal teeth. I am looking into the different options for closing these gaps such as resin bonding and braces and I was just wondering if invisalign would be ideal for this certain condition? I would prefer this over other braces as if seems to be one of the most discreet, but if it is not correct for my condition could you recommend anything else?

thank you for your time

How much does an individual Invisalign aligner cost?

August 22nd, 2011

hi there,

just wanted to know how you go about pricing up your invisalign treatment. I understand that each person would have to wear a different number of the aligners, how much are they priced individually? I am asking because I do not think my teeth would need too many aligners as it is only two protruding canines that are causing me some mild embarrassment. How many aligners do you think this would need? and how much would it cost?

thank you for your time

My aligner feels loose already, should I be worried?

August 19th, 2011

Hi Doctors

i am on the third stage of my invisalign and have been wearing them for about a week and the aligner is already starting to feel loose. Is this an indication that I should be onto the next stage or could something be wrong with the aligner? I plan to go to my dentist next week but i’d just like some info before hand.

thanks very much for your time
