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?

Will Invisalign Help With Moving Relapsed Teeth Back?

June 2nd, 2014

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)?

Great. I managed to chip my front tooth when playing football at the weekend. My aligner still fits but I am worried that this may in some way harm the treatment. Will it?

I Had Braces But My Wisdom Teeth Have Caused Them To Relapse. How Much Would It Cost To Fix The Top Set?

April 22nd, 2014

Hi Adam,

I was having a look through your website and was hoping you could make a recommendation for me. I had braces as a teenager, which left me with perfectly straight teeth. But due to my wisdom teeth coming through, this has pushed my molars forward and caused my front 4 teeth to squint. Is there a particular version of your product that could work best to straighten my teeth and also would you have an idea on cost? It would only be my upper set. Many thanks, I hope you can help me with this and I look forward to your reply.

Can I Drink Sparkling Water When Wearing Aligners?

April 11th, 2014

Hi Dr Manoloutsou. I just got my first tray yesterday. I’m not usually a water drinker, I dislike the taste it leaves in my mouth. I usually drink flavoured sparkling water. The flavoured water I drink contains no sugar and no artificial colours. However, the ingredients do include citric acid, potassium citrate, and malic acid. Can I can drink? Still water is making me gag and it’s only day two. Thank you!
