Can Invisalign Express Treat Just One Tooth?

June 6th, 2014

I have one tooth on the top which, due to not enough space, has raised and is now growing further out than the rest – basically I think it just needs to be pushed back. Is this possible with Invisalign Express and if so, how long approximately would it take? The problem is just one tooth as the rest of my teeth both upper and lower and quite straight.

Will Red Wine Stain My Teeth If I Brush My Teeth Straight After?

June 5th, 2014

Hello. I’m a big red wine drinker, love the stuff. I have been told by various people that red wine will stain the Invisalign aligners, and actually the teeth themselves if you drink red wine whilst wearing the aligners. I just thought I’d ask, would my teeth still be stained if I brushed my teeth straight after drinking it (without the aligners in of course)? Thanks in advance.

Are There Any Discreet Braces Suitable for People That Grind Their Teeth?

June 5th, 2014

Hi, I’ve been looking into braces for a long time now but I grind my teeth at night. My dentist has been trying to get this under control but it’s still a really bad habit of mine. Is there any discreet brace you can recommend that would be suitable for me? My teeth were already misaligned before I started grinding my teeth…so that isn’t the problem! I wanted Invisalign but have been told because they’re aligners they won’t be suitable because of the grinding. Thank you for your help!

What Are Attachments, And Are They Visible?

June 2nd, 2014

Hello Dr Sepehrara. I have been recently told that I could have Invisalign treatment to solve my crooked teeth problem. I am so relieved with this news as my teeth are really quite severely crooked. However my dentist started talking about attachments and buttons in order to make them more effective. I don’t understand and when I asked questions about what they were and why I needed them, my dentist was very vague in answering them and gave me no real answer. Could you give me an overview of what these attachments or buttons are and why I would ever need these? I thought the big selling point of Invisalign was that it was invisible and simple with no ‘attachments’. Thank you in advance for you advice.

Will Invisalign Help With Moving Relapsed Teeth Back?

June 2nd, 2014

Hi. As a teen, I’ve worn fixed braces on two separate occasions to aid moving my teeth backwards. At 17, I was finally free from fixed braces and was provided with retainers to wear at night. Through the years (I’m currently 24), I had stopped wearing them and as a result feel my teeth have started to move forward again and spaces have started to develop. Would Invisalign help with moving my teeth back (my teeth are straight with no apparent signs of overcrowding)?

Is Invisalign Right For Me?

June 2nd, 2014

Hi, I was just wondering if you think Invisalign is right for me? I have severely overcrowded bottom teeth and my top 2 front teeth protrude very noticeably. I’ve had braces on in the past but I was name called a lot so didn’t want fixed braces again. I’ve heard Invisalign is a clear type. Do you think I could have the treatment from what I’ve told you?
