My Dentist Has Moved. How Can I Finish My Invisalign Treatment?

June 16th, 2014
Q.

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?

Can I Transfer to Another Invisalign Dentist if I’m Not Happy With My Current One?

June 11th, 2014
Q.

Hi. If I am not pleased with my dentist for any reason, can I continue my Invisalign with a different dentist? I have really critical concerns about her and I don’t know who to talk to. She said that I should wash my mouth with bleach and water! I thought she was joking but she was not!

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

June 9th, 2014
Q.

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
Q.

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
Q.

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
Q.

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 Are Attachments, And Are They Visible?

June 2nd, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Sepehrara. I have been recently told that I could have Invisalign treatment to solve my crooked teeth problem. I am so relieved with this news as my teeth are really quite severely crooked. However my dentist started talking about attachments and buttons in order to make them more effective. I don’t understand and when I asked questions about what they were and why I needed them, my dentist was very vague in answering them and gave me no real answer. Could you give me an overview of what these attachments or buttons are and why I would ever need these? I thought the big selling point of Invisalign was that it was invisible and simple with no ‘attachments’. Thank you in advance for you advice.

Will Invisalign Help With Moving Relapsed Teeth Back?

June 2nd, 2014
Q.

Hi. As a teen, I’ve worn fixed braces on two separate occasions to aid moving my teeth backwards. At 17, I was finally free from fixed braces and was provided with retainers to wear at night. Through the years (I’m currently 24), I had stopped wearing them and as a result feel my teeth have started to move forward again and spaces have started to develop. Would Invisalign help with moving my teeth back (my teeth are straight with no apparent signs of overcrowding)?

Is Invisalign Right For Me?

June 2nd, 2014
Q.

Hi, I was just wondering if you think Invisalign is right for me? I have severely overcrowded bottom teeth and my top 2 front teeth protrude very noticeably. I’ve had braces on in the past but I was name called a lot so didn’t want fixed braces again. I’ve heard Invisalign is a clear type. Do you think I could have the treatment from what I’ve told you?

How Long Would It Take To Treat My Cross-Bite With Invisalign?

May 30th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Akere. Could you please tell me the usual treatment time for Invisalign when used for a cross-bite of the two front teeth? It is pretty severe so would you recommend Invisalign as the best treatment? I can pay up to £3000, would this be enough? Sorry for all the questions I just really want to be thorough! Thank you for your time.
