Will Invisalign work for my 14 year old daughter?

May 29th, 2012

Hello,
My daughter was told a few years ago that in time she would need braces for both her upper and lower teeth. She is 14 and really doesn’t want braces for the usual teenage reasons for wanting to look nice, not to be picked on etc
She has been doing her own internet research and had found out about Invisalign and now will talk about nothing else.
I am aware that you cant get these on the NHS so it would be costly for me and I am worried that because you can take them out that she will take advantage of this when I am not around to see her. What is your opinion?

Would Invisalign work for my 14 year old daughter?

May 28th, 2012

My daughter has a metal brace that is causing us many problems. She is 14 and finds wearing the metal brace very embarrassing and humiliating.
She also regularly complains that the brace is rubbing her inner cheeks and mouth. She always has ulcers and bleeding. We have tried a wax that you apply to the brace but it hasn’t made much difference.
Do you think it is too late to consider Invisalign for her? I know I will have to pay privately but I am upset at the pain my daughter is in.
She has been wearing the brace for five months.
Thank you for your help.

Would Invisalign braces treatment work for my 13 year old son?

May 25th, 2012

Hello, I hope that you are well

I just wanted to inquire about invisalign for younger patients. My son is 13 years old and his teeth have come through very crookedly and now that they are all through I thought it would be time to do something about it to help boost his confidence. I really like the thought of him wearing invisalign, as it is invisible and he won’t be made to feel as awkward as he would wearing big metal braces-so my question is even though he is 13 would be be able to get invisalign and from how I have described his condition in this message do you think invisalign is the best treatment for him?

thank you very much for any help you can give me Dr Manoloutso

Would Invisalign be the best form of treatment to straighten my bucked front teeth?

May 22nd, 2012

Hello Adam,
I have slightly bucked teeth at the top and have never received treatment to sort them out. I am 23 and I feel more self concious now. I have a dentist on the NHS who said a brace should sort it out but I didn’t realise there were so many different types these days. I like the sound of Invisalign but can you wear them just on the upper teeth and if the problem isn’t too severe would it take less time to work? Thank you for your help,

A.

Can I have Invisalign treatment even though I am a cage-fighter?

May 22nd, 2012

Hello,
This is a bit of a strange question but I have wonky teeth and am getting married next summer. i would like to sort my teeth out for the wedding and have looked at Invisalign as one of my options.
My concern is that I do cage fighting as a hobby and wear a mouth guard. How will this affect me having Invisalign because I read that you need to wear them about 20 hours a day. I would like the treatment to work as fast as possible obviously because I have a deadline to meet!
Thanks for your time.
