My smile has suffered a relapse, can Invisalign straighten my teeth again?

November 28th, 2011

HI, i am now 17, and received dental treatment from my local orthodontist around 3/4 years ago my treatment lasted about 18-24 months, when my braces were removed I traveled for a summer holiday during the trip i lost my retainers which i was given after my treatment i didn’t think to contact my orthodontist, years later i have noticed a slight move of my lower set of teeth but a more substantial move of the upper ones, i was wondering if it would be advised to get the treatment re-done, would appreciate some advise possibly to do with the invisalign treatment to.

My teeth stick inwards, would Invisalign be able to treat this?

November 28th, 2011

my top teeth kinda stick inwards, if you get what i mean. So i look like a ruddy chipmunk, which of course is not a nice look. I was wondering if you could use invisalign to treat my problem, or would i require a different type of brace for that? Could to recommend a good brace if invisalign isn’t the right type of brace for me?

thank you doctor for any help that you can give to me

My bottom set of aligners don’t seem to fit properly, what should I do?

November 28th, 2011

Hello, I’m currently on my second tray of invisalign. I wore the first set for four weeks, but the top tray didn’t fit on my front teeth after the four weeks while the bottom fit fine. With the second set I got attachments. The bottom tray fits, but I’m having the same problem with the top tray. I’m supposed to wear this set for three weeks. Should I be worried that my top tray doesn’t fit? It’s just the four front teeth that don’t go all the way onto the tray and you can see the gap between the tray and the teeth.

Can Invisalign straighten my teeth again and what can I do to stop them relapsing again?

November 28th, 2011

Hello doctors,

I wonder if you could help me. I had braces about 10 years ago and my teeth within that time have relapsed. They are not as bad as they were, but I still would prefer them to be straight. A mild amount of crowding has occurred at the front of my mouth, probably because my wisdom teeth have come through and caused a bit of tightening. Anway, i waffle i was just wondering could invisalign treat this and will it be able to stop it relapsing again?

thank you very much for reading and for your time.

I have small teeth with gaps between them, are braces my best option?

November 24th, 2011

hello Doctor Thorne, I am 18 years old and am looking for brace treatment. I have little gaps between all of my front teeth and i wondered if the best option for me is to have braces to close the gaps? However, i am worried that this may make me have a ‘small’ smile, which may look a little abnormal.
what is your opinion on this matter?

Many thanks

I have come to end of my Invisalign treatment, but I am not completely happy, is there anything I can do?

November 7th, 2011

I am coming to the end of wearing the invisalign aligners and in two weeks i will start wearing the retainer. My front teeth were very overlapped, now the are much straighter however i have a big gap between them, especially at the top by the gums. My dentist told me my gums may drop into the gap but i have to say i dont believe him.

Is this possible? What can i do to close the gap? Or what can i do if i am not happy with the results?

Thank you

A.

Can Invisalign treat my protruding bottom jaw?

November 1st, 2011

do you have many patients who have invisalign for a protruding top jaw? I look so, so silly with my teeth and really want to have it all straightened out and made to look nice, but i would like something that doesn’t draw even more attention to my problem, hence why i want invisalign.

any information would be great doctor and hopefully hear from you soon
