Can I Still Carry on With My Invisalign Treatment Even Though I’m Pregnant?

August 4th, 2014

Hi! I’ve been having Invisalign treatment for 5 months but have just found out that I’m pregnant. I’ve not spoken to my orthodontist yet, will be seeing him in just under two weeks but I would just like to put my mind at rest. Will I have to stop the Invisalign treatment whilst I’m carrying my baby? Will being pregnant affect the treatment? Any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

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.

Please Can You Provide Some Information on Vivera Retainers?

July 23rd, 2014

Hello Dr Akere

I’m thinking of having Invisalign and have looked at the prices on various websites, but my concern is about the Vivera retainer. I know this is something I’ll have to wear after treatment but I can’t seem to find a lot of information about them. Is there an additional cost for the retainer? I’d also like to know how long they last. Hope to hear back from 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.

My Aligners Cause Me a Lot of Pain. What Can I Do?

July 3rd, 2014

Hi, I have been suffering with a lot of pain during my Invisalign treatment, and it gets worse with every new set of aligners. My gums are sore and swollen and I feel like I constantly have mouth ulcers. My dentist says this is bound to happen. I imagined it would be painful at first but it is really just constant all the time. Due to the amount of pain it causes I keep having to take them out so I’m worried that they’re not working as they should because I don’t have them in long enough. I haven’t told my orthodontist that I take them out because I don’t want him to be angry. What should I do?

Does Chlorine Stain Invisalign Aligners?

June 25th, 2014

Hi, I have a query about Invisalign. I swim professionally, and have been looking into using Invisalign to straighten my teeth. Would I be able to do this? I swim for a few hours every day, would I be able to keep the aligners in? My concern is they might get stained by the chlorine in the water. I’m seeing an orthodontist next week but I thought I’d ask for some advice from you before my consultation. Thank you.

Do I Need Time Off Work If Invisalign Affects My Speech?

June 20th, 2014

Hello! I’m currently working in an important role over at a call centre but I’m due to have my first set of aligners next week, so I’ve booked a day’s holiday to receive them. I didn’t ask if they’d affect my speech because I didn’t think anything of it at the time, is this something I should be concerned about? Do you think I should speak to my boss about it? Maybe ask for a couple more days off? Because obviously, I can’t work in a call centre if I can’t speak properly surely! Thanks for your time, I hope you can advise me!

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.

Is Invisalign Treatment Suitable for My 13 Year Old Son?

June 17th, 2014

Hello there, I have a question on behalf of my 13 year old son. Now that all his teeth have come through, we are considering braces as they are quite crooked and lacks confidence at school. He says he would feel much less awkward wearing Invisalign because they’re much less visible than the chunky metal braces. Would he be able to have Invisalign treatment even though he’s only 13? Thank you for any advice you might be able to offer.
