Hello, I am 21 and didn’t have braces as a child, but I regret this now. I was wondering if I am too old to have Invisalign and also if there are any payment options which make it affordable? Thanks.

What Is The Best Treatment To Fix My Cross-Bite?

May 15th, 2014
Q.

Hello. I have a mild cross-bite. It’s been bothering me for some time now. It’s only really noticeable when I smile but I grind my teeth in my sleep, which obviously won’t help the matter! I think it’s making my bite worse! I’m looking into braces to help the situation, is there anything that you can recommend before I approach an orthodontist? I don’t really know what to ask for. Is there any brace that is especially for a cross-bite? Thank you!

I Broke My Invisalign Retainer. Will My Teeth Be Fine Without It?

May 7th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Raha. Is there any chance you could help me? I broke my Invisalign retainer recently and I’m afraid to tell my orthodontist. He’s quite scary. Will my teeth be okay if I just leave it? I know your supposed to see the treatment through to the end but my teeth are fine and straight enough now. What should I do? I don’t want to go back!

What Is The Average Cost And Length For Invisalign Treatment?

April 24th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Sepehrara. I have been wanting to correct my teeth for quite a while now but the only problem with me is the cost. I’m currently studying, and this year would be perfect for me to try and go through a treatment for my teeth. I have slight crowding with my top teeth and more crowding with the bottom teeth. Would you be able to tell me what the average cost and length would be for treatment with Invisalign braces? I am 20 so I do pay for my regular treatments.

Thanks for your time.

Regards,

Kiran Chahal.

Providing That The Condition of Teeth Are Minor How Long Does It Take For The Aligners To Work

February 12th, 2013
Q.

Hello,
My sister is getting married in September and she is quite down about her teeth as they are a bit crooked at the front. She has always been a bit embarrassed about them but I think she has just learnt how to hide them.
I have heard of Invisalign and wondered if this might work over a few months? I know that it would depend on her teeth but literally three teeth are crooked at the front. I am asking because if it might work then I would like to pay for treatment for her. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Should I Get Aligners??

February 12th, 2013
Q.

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.

Can I Straighten Just The One Side Of My Teeth?

February 12th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Sepehara, I hope you can help me. I’m 24 and have crooked teeth but its only on the right side on the bottom teeth. For this reason I never had braces because I thought it would effect the rest of my teeth which are all straight and fine. Is there an aligner which can largely leave the left half of my bottom teeth alone but straighten the ones on the right side? Or would you recommend a different treatment all together. I’m a bit confused on what to do but i’m worried that if left much longer then the crooked teeth with eventually effect the other straight teeth. please let me know what your expert opinion is, Thank you in advance

What treatment should I choose to correct my bite?

April 30th, 2012
Q.

Hi, when I smile my back teeth meet but my front teeth don’t, I think my dentist said it was a high in bite but I could be wrong, he said to get it fixed I would have to have my jaw broken and it all re-set he also said I would be awake!. It’s never really bothered me but recently I’ve noticed it seems to be getting worse, I can’t bite sellotape and eating things like sandwiches with tomato or cucumber on is becoming harder as I can’t bite through it so usually end up with it hanging out of my mouth which as you can imagine is embarrassing. I was just wondering if there is another way of getting the problem sorted and if not is there away of being put to sleep to have it done, I’m not the best patient and usually have a little cry and shake no matter how small the procedure so the thought of being awake whilst they broke my jaw is petrifying. Also I know that I wouldnt be able to have this done under the NHS so I was wondering how much this is likely to cost to have done Thank you for taking the time out to read this is much appreciated.

Is tea or coffee likely to have ramifications on the state of my Invisalign aligners?

February 9th, 2012
Q.

Hello and good day to you doctor I have recently been told about the dangers of the ‘sugar bath’ effect with invisalign aligners. Ive been told this is where you drink sugary drinks while wearing the aligners and the sugar all stays in the aligner, where it starts really getting to work on the teeth and not in a good way!. I’m not a fizzy pop drinker myself, but I do drink an awful lot of tea and coffee throughout the day and would very much so like to know if there be similar ramification with wearing the invisalign aligner and drinking coffe and tea and dental damage?

thank you doctor
