What is the shortest and longest amount of time treatment has been completed in?

August 18th, 2011

hello

I am looking at lots of different braces to see which would be the best for me. I really like the sound of invisalign as i would preferably like a brace that no one else could see, which is obviously one of inivsaligns main selling points. I just wondered about the time scale though. Could you please tell me the longest someone has had to wear the invisalign brace with you and the shortest time? My orthodontic condition mainly affects my front teeth which are a little twisted

thanks for your time

I now need a dental implant, will this affect my Invisalign treatment?

August 11th, 2011

i was meant to be getting invisalign treatment in less than a week, with my aligners fast on there way, but now ive gone and had a stupid accident and broke my front tooth. My dentist says theres not enough left for bonding or veneers and suggests an implant. If i got an implant and it took like 3 months or so to heal could i still start my invisalign? do you think my teeth will still match enough? I don’t know what to do, and it horrifies me to think that i might have to pay again

any help you could give would be really, really appreciated

Is my 13 year old daughter suitable for Invisalign?

August 11th, 2011

hello

i am looking to get invisalign for my 13 year old daughter. She is very self conscious about her two front teeth which stick out a little bit. I of course think she is beautiful as she is, but it has really been bothering her of late and i would very much prefer a brace that wasn’t going to be too noticeable and make matters worse. Do you think she will be ok with invsialign or is she too young for this particular brace?

Any help you can give would be great. Thank you for your time

Is there anyway to shorten the treatment time of my Invisalign braces?

August 5th, 2011

hello doctor,

i have started wearing my aligners and it has been about 4 weeks so am stll on my second aligner. There was a point with the first aligner, where is wasn’t becoming as loose as the dentist told me it would and i wondered if i could do anything to ensure that the brace is working at its optimum level. My friend has told me about some mouth guard thing, i think it is called exceldent or something that speeds up the action of braces. Have you come across it and would you recommend it?

thank you

A.

How long should I have to wait to receive my aligners? It has been a month

August 1st, 2011

I have been for a checkup/examination and moulds were taken for impressions of my teeth and have been sent off to the invisalign lab. That, however, was a month ago and I am still yet to receive my braces. I have rang my orthodontist and he continues to badger me off with “they’re coming soon” How long does it usually take for the aligners to be made? I know they are coming from america, but i would expect them to be here by now for the amount of money i am paying. Any help you can give would be great, and the words of another doctor, will hopefully scare my own into doing something!
thanks
