Can I Drink Red Wine When I Take the Aligners Out?

August 15th, 2014

Hello doctor! I have read that red wine will lead to staining of aligners, and also the teeth themselves if you drink with them in. What about when you drink with them not in your mouth and you clean teeth straight after. Is this okay? I’m a big fan of red wine but I really don’t want to stain the aligners, so I’m hoping you can give me some piece of mind!

Is Invisalign as Effective Metal Braces When Treating a Cross Bite?

July 4th, 2014

Hi Drs Cannell and Stafford. I’m 24 and my teeth are horrible. I was told I didn’t need braces when I was younger but as I’ve got older they’ve just got worse and worse.I have real confidence issues because of them so I really want to get them sorted out. I don’t want metal braces because I’m too self-conscious. I have a severe cross bite, do you think Invisalign would be as good as fixing this problem as metal braces? Thank you.

Can You Achieve The Same Results With Invisible Braces?

March 25th, 2013

Hello doctor Thorne, I am very concerned about my teeth. I have very crooked teeth and have been wanting to sort them out for years. I am now consulting with my dentist to have some orthodontic work done to fix my teeth. I absolutely dont want to have my teeth in metal braces as i dont wish my appearance to compromise peoples opinions of me particularly in work. However, I just dont fully understand how invisalign and the other invisible braces really work and if they can really be as successful in straightening your teeth as the mental fixed braces as my teeth are really very very crooked. What do you recommend for people with severely crooked teeth

Should I Get Aligners??

February 12th, 2013

Hello,
I recently went to the dentist for a consultation to get my teeth whitened but while I was there she said that perhaps I should think about orthodontic treatment as a few of my teeth are a little bit out of line on my top teeth. To be honest I haven’t really thought about it before but now she has brought it up I do feel a bit concious of them.
She left me to have a think about it and I have seen some adverts for aligners and if I was to get any it would be these I think. If my teeth problems are minor how long do you think I would have to wear the braces?
Also I am worried about the cost and a part of me thinks I may just leave them for now.

Is Invisalign treatment right for me?

July 2nd, 2012

Hi,

I am thinking about having Invisalign and visited 2 dentists who can provide it. However, their opinions were quite different. One told me that it would be like a 7 month treatment and that all aligners would arrive together, while the other one said it would be a 15 month treatment and that each aligner would arrive individually depending on the progress. Also the price thus was quite different: 3800 euro vs. 4800 euro. Who should I believe? Thanks!

How will a missing tooth affect my braces treatment?

June 1st, 2012

I have wanted braces treatment for a while now because my teeth buck inwards at the top and my bottom front teeth are crooked. I was looking into whether the Inman Aligner or Invisalign would be suitable as I want a discreet look for my job.
I haven’t had any consultations yet about this as I want to be in a financially stable situation before I proceed.
The problem I have now is that during a rugby match someone knocked out one of my teeth and I had to have an emergency appointment at a dentist near where I was playing.
How will this affect my braces treatment? The emergency dentist cleaned the area and gave me antibiotics and briefly discussed my options.
Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.

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.

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.

Would a UK dentist be able to take over my Invisalign treatment, which I started in the US?

April 30th, 2012

Is there a dentist in London, UK that would be willing to take a new patient with invisalign already? I began my treatment in Miami, FL where I currently live, but will have to move in July to London for 2.5 years… So I’m wondering if there is any dentist that will be willing to service and deal with any of the discomforts sometimes come with the aligners (i.e. having to “sand” them down).

I never wanted ‘unsightly’ braces now i’m 63 would I qualify forclear braces?

September 15th, 2011

I am 63 years old and have quite a large overbite. I have always disliked my prominent teeth but have never had the courage to wear a brace because of them being so unsitely. Now that they have ‘invisible braces’ I am eager to know if I could potentially be a candidate for this treatment and how much treatment itself costs.
Could you help

Thanks
