I think my dentist giving me the run around how far’s to far?

September 22nd, 2011
Q.

im unhappy with my invisilign dentist.i gave them half of a $2000 downn payment.i was under the impression that when i went in a week or 2 later my trays were going to be ready,instead they just showed me digital images and asked for the other $1000 for the other half of the down payment.i told them i would pay that when the trays came in….so they kept calling me saying the trays were ready to be delivered and they needed the other half of the down payment,i gave it to them and set up an appointment for the next week,i got a phone call the day before the appoinmnet saying there was a problem in the factory and the trays havet even been made or hipped yet and should be here by the end of the month.so far its been a bout a 2 month process ive given them $2000 and have received nothing.am i being dramatic or should i ask for my money back and go somewhere else since i feel like im always getting the runaround?if i do ask for my money back would i get a full refund since i havent received any treatment yet?

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

September 15th, 2011
Q.

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

An accident stopped progress on my invisalign treatment can I now continue?

September 14th, 2011
Q.

Hi, I do you know if you can you start invisalign again, as in carry on? I had to cut my treatment short due to an accident, which damaged my front teeth and had to stop the invisalign so i could get my teeth back to normal. My dentist has given me a full bill of health and says i am good to go with brace work, however i was 3 trays into my invisalign do you think i could just continue or would i have to have everything reassesed again? and would I be charged again?

thank you

what’s the best method to sort out my overlapped teeth?

September 6th, 2011
Q.

Hi please could you help me out I need advise on methods of ‘uncrowding’ crooked teeth. I just wanted to know what’s the best treatment for crooked front teeth? Mine have crossed over quite badly and i really want treatment to sort them out, but I would prefer if it was something more discreet like invisalign. Can you treat my condition with invisalign and if you can how long does it usually take?

thanks

My 11 year old daughter still has some baby teeth, would she be able to have Invisalign?

August 25th, 2011
Q.

Hi there,

I have a 11 year old daughter whose teeth are in pretty bad shape and I was wondering if she would be able to get the invisalign treatment? It is her two front teeth which are the worse, as they are bucked due to a dummy she has when she was younger, and are slightly gapped. They are both her adult teeth but she does have a few teeth which are still in the baby stage. In your opinion is 11 too young for braces and if so when would be the best age or stage? I just want her to have nice teeth to avoid any potential future tauntings.

thanks for your time doctor

How can you be sure that teeth will move properly with Invisalign treatment?

August 25th, 2011
Q.

Hello doctor Sepehrara,

i just wanted to ask a general question about how the invisalign aligners work. I know that there are made in the United States with your mould and the details sent for perfect and bespoke fitting but how is it possible to know how you teeth will evolve throughout the course of the treatment? I understand that you are given the full set of aligners from the start but what if your teeth react differently and therefore the next set of aligners no not fit. What would happen then? Sorry for being so nosey i just want to be thorough in my research and get the best brace system and I really like the sound of invisalign,
hope you can help thank you for your time

Can Invisalign correct my buck teeth?

August 23rd, 2011
Q.

hello Dr ,

I am looking into the possibility of having the invisalign invisible braces treatment for my front teeth which are bucked teeth and stick out quite a lot. Do you think that it would be ok for me to have invisalign for this condition? I am really, really interested in the braces as my friend had one and you just can’t see it at all which is great for me. What is the general price for the treatment with buck teeth like me?

thank you for your time and feedback.

How long should I have to wait to receive my aligners? It has been a month

August 1st, 2011
Q.

hi

I have been for a checkup/examination and moulds were taken for impressions of my teeth and have been sent off to the invisalign lab. That, however, was a month ago and I am still yet to receive my braces. I have rang my orthodontist and he continues to badger me off with “they’re coming soon” How long does it usually take for the aligners to be made? I know they are coming from america, but i would expect them to be here by now for the amount of money i am paying. Any help you can give would be great, and the words of another doctor, will hopefully scare my own into doing something!
thanks

Is sensitive treatment as a result of Invisalign and something to worry about?

May 31st, 2011
Q.

Hi Doctor

i have recently started my Invisalign treatment and am around 2 months in but my teeth are still sensitive from time to is the normal. I worry a little bit more than most because i have been told that I have short roots and could suffer from root absorption and the general sensitivity is coming from the tops of my teeth. I have booked an appointment to see my dentist but in the meantime would like some extra advice to make a considered decision. In your estimation doctor, think it wise to stop treatment completely?

thank you for your time

I am in the middle of my Invisalign treatment but am soon to have my wisdom teeth taken out, will these affect the brace?

April 27th, 2011
Q.

Hi I have an Invisalign consultation booked for next month. Before that I have a six monthly check up with my dentist. I am slightly worried because the last few times I have been he has been monitoring my wisdom teeth which he says will need to come out at some point. Could there be issues with wisdom teeth coming through/being removed and the Invisalign treatment? should I tell the Invisalign dentist?
