Can I Pay for Invisalign in Installments?

September 4th, 2014

Hi Michael. My teeth are very overcrowded and crooked and I would really like to have Invisalign treatment to correct them, but I feel that they are too expensive for me. Would I be able to pay in installments over a certain period of time? Also, how much does it pay to have a consultation to discuss Invisalign with a dentist? Will I have to pay even for a check-up? It’s my bottom teeth more than the top, they seem to look much worse. Please help me, I don’t smile much due to this problem and I’d really like it to be solved as soon as possible.

Should My Aligners Feel This Loose?

September 2nd, 2014

Hello Dr Sepehrara. I’ve got a small problem but I don’t want to ignore it in case it’s really important and ruins my whole treatment. It doesn’t feel like my aligners are fitting properly.My first set really hurt my gums and I was really aware of them, and my gums only stopped hurting when I started with the next set. I’m still on the 2nd set but they feel quite loose, like there’s no strain at all. Is this normal, or should I feel more pressure? I don’t think they fit right in comparison with my first set. What do you think?

Will Invisalign Close the Gaps Between My Teeth?

August 29th, 2014

Hi Dr Patel! Recently I’ve been considering my options for braces and Invisalign sound great. I had braces about 6 years ago to fix my overbite, and my teeth are still more or less straight, but a few of my front teeth on the top and bottom have gaps in them and the bottom ones are slightly slanted. Would Invisalign be suitable to close these gaps? I’d also like to know how much it would cost if I were to go ahead with Invisalign, and also how long the process would take. Thank you, I look forward to your reply.

Will Invisalign Straighten My Teeth?

August 28th, 2014

Hi Dr Akere. I was involved in an accident 3 years ago and a few my teeth were damaged in the process. I’ve been saving up the money to have dental treatment which is why it has taken me so long, but now I’m financially ready to get braces. My top two teeth seem to dip inwards if that makes sense, and I feel like I look weird. They cause me some pain sometimes but it’s not constant, I only feel it from time to time.Would Invisalign straighten my teeth?

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.

I’ve Had Gum Disease in the Past. Will Invisalign Cause Future Problems?

August 19th, 2014

Hello Dr Akere. I had gum disease just over 2 years ago, but my mouth is more or less okay now. I do know that gum disease isn’t just a one-time thing and can come back. Because I had gum disease for quite a long time, my teeth have changed positions and my smile doesn’t look very nice now. I’m dying to have straight teeth and Invisalign sounds great but I’m worried that my gums and teeth are weaker because of the gum disease so will Invisalign cause problems for me?

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!

My Aligner is Bent. Should I Visit My Orthodontist?

August 11th, 2014

Hi Dr Patel, hope you are well. I’ve been wearing Invisalign aligners for a good 2 months now and so far am very happy as there have been no problems. But the other day I dropped my aligner on the kitchen floor and it sort of looks bent now. It still fits alright but should I go to my orthodontist about it anyway? I’ve got quite a while to go until my next visit but I’m worried that the bend will affect my treatment even though it’s only very slight. Do you think I should make an appointment?

How Can I Sort Out My Crowded and Discoloured Teeth?

August 8th, 2014

Hello Dr Sepehrara, I’m hoping you can give me some advice. I’m very unhappy with my teeth, they are incredibly crowded and they’ve become discoloured. It has really damaged my confidence, so much so that I never smile at anyone now. I feel as though my unhappiness is causing my family to be unhappy too. I take the best care of my teeth that I can but because of the crowding I find it difficult. What can I do?

6 Month Smiles or Invisalign?

August 7th, 2014

Hello, hope you are well! I’m trying to decide between Invisalign and 6 Month Smiles. About a month ago I had a consultation for Invisalign, and the dentist I saw said I might not be 100% satisfied with the results because it might be significantly better at straightening my bottom teeth than the top (my teeth at the top are severely crowded). He seemed to think that fixed braces would be much better for me and as much as I really want Invisalign I looked at fixed braces and found out about 6 Month Smiles. Would this be better for me?
