Is it normal for one side of my aligner to be looser than the other?

September 6th, 2011
Q.

hello

could you tell me whether is it normal for one side of my aligner to be looser than the other? Im on my 3rd aligner and it hasn’t happened for the first 2, they went loose all over towards the end of each respectively, but this looseness on only one side has never happened before and is beginning to get on my nerves, i just wanted some proper feedback before I start getting unnecessarily worried about the issue and trying to fix what’s not broken thanks for any help you can give me doctor

what’s the best method to sort out my overlapped teeth?

September 6th, 2011
Q.

Hi please could you help me out I need advise on methods of ‘uncrowding’ crooked teeth. I just wanted to know what’s the best treatment for crooked front teeth? Mine have crossed over quite badly and i really want treatment to sort them out, but I would prefer if it was something more discreet like invisalign. Can you treat my condition with invisalign and if you can how long does it usually take?

thanks

My periodontist and orthodontist have different opinions about my teeth

August 25th, 2011
Q.

I am a 40 year old, faced with a delimma. I have seen a Periodontist recommended by my Dentist for severe gum recession, most probably caused by grinding my teeth at night related to tooth overcrowding.
The Periodontist recommends extensive gum grafting for approximately 14 teeth! When I recently visited with my Dentist, she recommends that I have the Invisalign treatment done to correct ‘crowding’ BEFORE the gum grafting, because if I get the grafting done first, it would be “just like putting a bandaid on the problem”. Of course, the Periodontist feels that the gum grafting should come first. Can you PLEASE help clarify, in your opinion, which should come first?
Thank You!

A.

Can Invisalign correct my crooked teeth and ‘fangs?’

August 23rd, 2011
Q.

hi

i have really, really horrible teeth, which are crooked and twisted and then have those weird fang things, with my teeth growing out of my gums! i really like the idea of invisalign as it just so much more unnoticeable than other braces, but do you think i am a viable candidate for this, or is there a brace system better suited to me? If there are other braces better for my condition could you please recommend them to me?

thank you for your time
