My teeth have relapsed again, what do you recommend?

October 31st, 2011

Hello, two years ago I got retainers on my teeth but I found them a pain and often didn’t wear them. My teeth were not really misaligned that bad but was still a problem. So my dentist gave me braces which I wore for about three months or so. I was then given retainers after the braces to avoid relapse but again didnt wear them often. My teeth has now relapsed slight as one of my front teeth is slightly overlapping another. What would you suggest for me?

What are the differences between Clearstep and Invisalign?

October 18th, 2011

is there much of a difference between clearstep and invisalign? I really want to have my teeth straightened but i do not want metal wires and brackets all over my teeth so I definitely think that these clear aligners are the way to go overall. My main problem is front teeth which are a litte bit crooked do you think that either treatment would be good for treating that?

thank you doctor thorne

How much will it be to treat my orthodontic relapse?

October 6th, 2011

Hi there,
I had braces when i was around the age of 11 for around 2years as i had a narrow jaw and protuding teeth the result was lovely but now at the age of 24 my teeth have now moved slightly protuded and the 2 teeth either side of the front teeth have moved nehind which seems to be the cause of the 2 front teeth protuding more, my dentist said i have strong healthy teeth and gums aside from this but my confidence has some what changed. Could you tell me how much an invisible brace ranges from and how long they normally need to be in for, at the moment i am not in a position to pay for them but i hope one day i am.
Thank you for your time, look forward to your response.

Can Invisalign correct the damage my tongue thrusting has caused?

July 26th, 2011

I have a problem with my tongue, i think it’s called tongue thrusting, and it has effected my front teeth, so they kinda jut forward. I was wondering if invisalign would be a good brace for sorting this out? Also, i will probably be needing something after the treatment to stop my tongue from ruining my smile, could you tell me is there is anything like that available?

thank you

I have a dental implant, will I be suitable for Invisalign

June 15th, 2011

hello doctors,

do you think i would be suitable for invisalign, i recently suffered and accident and now have an implant with a post, but the rest of my teeth really need straightening but i am afraid that i will cause damage to the implant. The rest of my teeth are pretty spaced out, with little gaps everywhere, so i want things tightening up.
in your opinion even though I have an implant would I be a viable candidate for invisalign? thank you for your time
