Hi. I’m Becoming Frustrated By My Orthodontist, He Said My Invisalign Treatment Would Be Straightforward But I’ve Lost A Tooth.

Q.
Hi. I am currently receiving Invisalign from an Invisalign preferred orthodontist, that’s why I visited him in the first place. He said that treatment would be smooth and results were going to predictable. I’m very disappointed with the treatment thus far. I have had to have a tooth removed, which he said wouldn’t be required and I’ve had several ulcers that keep coming back. Can you please advise me? Because I’m beginning to lose my rag with him. Cheers.

Hi. Have your goals changed during treatment? Sometimes seeing your treatment options in Clincheck (the software) can show a better result via a different route, which may have lead to his suggestion of a tooth to be removed. The ulcers may be the edge of the aligner irritating the lip, cheeks or gum, these edges can easily be smoothed over but are much better with the new Smart track material. I would feedback to your orthodontist your concerns initially as he should be able to help you directly, else you can always seek a second opinion.
Good luck, Dr Adam Thorne.
