February 2nd, 2011
Q.
I have a crossbite and an orthodontist told me that i need to get on braces asap because i’m already 18. he also said that i needed surgery to move my lower jaw back. Can i still get invisalign before that surgery? Or that i have to just go with regular braces?,

Invisalign does not seem to be making a difference. Are fixed braces the route to go?

August 4th, 2010
Q.
my dentist has showed my an x-ray of my teeth, the clincheck and said my teeth aren\’t moving like he expected. I\’ve been wearing the invisalign now for around 4 months and i can say i haven\’t noticed any difference in my teeth and he said that there\’s nothing he can do but wait and see if the aligners move my teeth. If they don\’t move then what am i supposed to do? Please advise me! He said i may have to wear fixed braces.,

Do I need metal braces? I wanted invisalign!

April 26th, 2010
Q.
I am 48 years old and just visited my orthodontist who said I need metal braces. I have a missing tooth in the bottom which has caused my middle teeth to shift and one of them is overlapping. My ortho said that invisilign would not correct this and need metal ones. Is this correct? I am 48 yrs old and would rather not have a mouth full of metal. please help,

A question about ceramic and sapphire brackets..

April 20th, 2010
Q.
I would like ceramic or sapphire brackets but would like to know if there is any chance of the aluminium leeching out whilst wearing them. (Also, hopefully the glass won\’t contain any lead) Many thanks.

Would I be able to change from fixed braces to Invisalign?

March 17th, 2010
Q.
I am 15 and have just started with fixed braces but they are making me very self conscious. I am hoping that i will be able to change to invisalign but the problem i can see is that i have already had a couple of teeth removed. Do you know if it would be posisble for me to switch at this early stage?,

Which of Invisalign and fixed braces offer quicker results?

March 5th, 2010
Q.
I am 26 and my dentist has informed me that I would need a brace to close the gaps at my bottom teeth which are about 3mm wide. The dentist has told me that I can go with fixed braces or that I can have the invisible braces but can you tell me which one would give me results in the quickest fashion and which would offer me the better results. What cost would I expect to pay for each teratment also please.

Am I paying for invisalign and metal braces treatment separately?

February 23rd, 2010
Q.
I have a front tooth overbite and my dentist has recommended me metal braces for the bottom and invisalign for the top. Does this sound normal to you? Does this increase the price having 2 different treatments or the same grounds? He has not said anything about tooth extraction so hopefully that will not be necessary.
