Is It Bad to Wear Aligners at Night?

August 21st, 2014

Hi. I would really like to have Invisalign treatment, they sound by far the best of all the braces I’ve been reading up on, but I’m worried about wearing them during the night. I’ve heard that wearing aligners when you’re asleep is really bad for your oral health and can cause plaque to build up.I’m hoping it’s just a horror story with no truth in it and obviously I would keep my teeth and aligners clean. But before I go ahead with this I’d just like to double check with an expert like your good selves.

Why Has My Bite Changed?

August 12th, 2014

Hi Drs. I’m really concerned about my bite. I recently finished my Invisalign treatment and have noticed a change in my bite from when I started. I thought it was because of the aligners doing their job during the treatment but obviously now the problem is still here. My molars don’t touch when I close my jaws and it doesn’t feel right. My dentist told me the aligners wouldn’t affect my bite but obviously this is not true. Will I have this problem forever now or is there something that can be done to put it right?

Will Tooth-Grinding Wear Away at Invisalign Aligners?

July 30th, 2014

Hello Drs Cannell & Stafford. I suffer with Bruxism and have to wear a mouth guard at night to stop me from grinding my teeth. My teeth are very crooked though so I would like to have braces. My dentist says I should have traditional fixed braces but I would much prefer to have Invisalign. I can see why my dentist doesn’t think I should have Invisalign as I wouldn’t be able to wear the guard at night but I would like a second opinion anyway. Would my tooth grinding wear away at the aligners? I really don’t want big metal braces so are there other options for me if I can’t have Invisalign? Thank you.

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 I Have Invisalign Treatment Even Though Some Teeth Are Missing?

June 19th, 2014

Hi there, I was wondering if you could shed some light on my situation. I was involved in an accident a couple of years ago and I ended up losing three of my teeth. I would like Invisalign braces but will they still work even though I don’t have a full set of teeth? I can’t afford to get them straightened AND have the missing ones replaced, so which do you think I should go for? Thanks.

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.

I Think Invisalign Is Making My Crown Loose. What Shall I Do?

May 14th, 2014

Hey guys. I started Invisalign 3 weeks ago, but I’m now having a problem. I had a dental crown fitted a few years ago and now, with Invisalign treatment, it feels like it’s starting to come loose. I think it’s due to the aligners. If I touch it, it feels very loose. What shall I do?

Would Invisalign Fix My Crooked Teeth, Or Am I Too Old?

May 6th, 2014

Hi! When I was 13 I had slightly crooked teeth and had braces to straighten them out. My dentist at the time never mentioned that I’d have to wear a retainer afterwards, so I didn’t. I’m 27 now and they are slightly crooked AGAIN and I hate the way they look. Would Invisalign be able to sort my problem out, or am I too old? Also how much would Invisalign cost for a situation like mine? Thank you.
