Can I Pay for Invisalign in Installments?

September 4th, 2014

Hi Michael. My teeth are very overcrowded and crooked and I would really like to have Invisalign treatment to correct them, but I feel that they are too expensive for me. Would I be able to pay in installments over a certain period of time? Also, how much does it pay to have a consultation to discuss Invisalign with a dentist? Will I have to pay even for a check-up? It’s my bottom teeth more than the top, they seem to look much worse. Please help me, I don’t smile much due to this problem and I’d really like it to be solved as soon as possible.

Should My Aligners Feel This Loose?

September 2nd, 2014

Hello Dr Sepehrara. I’ve got a small problem but I don’t want to ignore it in case it’s really important and ruins my whole treatment. It doesn’t feel like my aligners are fitting properly.My first set really hurt my gums and I was really aware of them, and my gums only stopped hurting when I started with the next set. I’m still on the 2nd set but they feel quite loose, like there’s no strain at all. Is this normal, or should I feel more pressure? I don’t think they fit right in comparison with my first set. What do you think?
