Do I Need Time Off Work If Invisalign Affects My Speech?

June 20th, 2014

Hello! I’m currently working in an important role over at a call centre but I’m due to have my first set of aligners next week, so I’ve booked a day’s holiday to receive them. I didn’t ask if they’d affect my speech because I didn’t think anything of it at the time, is this something I should be concerned about? Do you think I should speak to my boss about it? Maybe ask for a couple more days off? Because obviously, I can’t work in a call centre if I can’t speak properly surely! Thanks for your time, I hope you can advise me!

Hi there. I’m currently using Invisalign. I’m half way through treatment and my dentist’s company has up and gone. Do you know the best way for me to source the remaining stages of aligners that I require to finish my treatment?

I’ve Been Wearing Invisalign Aligners For Two Years But My Treatment Has Been Unsuccessful. Why Is This?

June 9th, 2014

Hi. I am angry because when I initially began Invisalign treatment, I was told it would take 6 months and 2 and a half years later I’ve had 4 sets of refinements, my teeth still have gaps in between them, and my bottom teeth still cross over each other. As I’m sure you can appreciate, I’ve spend a lot of money. But now my dentist wants to try veneers and to be honest I’ve spent enough money, I expect my natural teeth to be straight now. Can you offer me any advice? Thanks.

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 Is The Difference Between Invisalign and Inmam Aligner?

May 30th, 2014

Hello, I just wondered if you could give me some details, I’m weighing up my options for braces. I’m looking at both Invisalign and Inman Aligner, but they both seem pretty much the same to me but obviously I’m no expert which is why I’m asking you! Do they work just as well as each other? Thanks in advance, Susan.

Does It Cost To Have Aligners Replaced If They Break?

May 29th, 2014

Hi, I broke my Invisalign aligner, completely by accident of course! I took it out to brush my teeth and trod on it by mistake (it fell off my sink). Anyway, I went to my orthodontist straight away to ask for a new one. I thought he’d give me one free of charge, seeing as though I’m already paying a fortune for it! BUT he’s charging me for a new one and I have to wait a week for it! Surely this isn’t right? Do you think I should seek a second opinion about this? Thanks for your time.

It’s Been 3 Months And I’m Seeing No Results. What Should I Do?

May 20th, 2014

When I visited my orthodontist for a consultation he did stress that my teeth needed a lot of straightening, I have suffered from a bad bite for many years. Anyway, after drawing up a treatment plan he still thought that Invisalign would help me. However, 3 months down the line and I’m not seeing ANY results. I feel like he’s just told me it will work to get money out of me. I don’t know what to do because surely I should have seen some differences by now! What do you think I should do?

Does Invisalign Treatment Really Take 18 Months To Be Completed?

May 19th, 2014

Hi there. I didn’t realise how long I’d be wearing the aligners for. My orthodontist suggested that I’ll need around 18 months for the treatment to be completed! I was convinced he’d say 6 months at the most! Is this right? Does it usually take this long? Or is it just a way for him to charge me more? Please be honest with me. Thank you.
