Please Can You Provide Some Information on Vivera Retainers?

July 23rd, 2014

Hello Dr Akere

I’m thinking of having Invisalign and have looked at the prices on various websites, but my concern is about the Vivera retainer. I know this is something I’ll have to wear after treatment but I can’t seem to find a lot of information about them. Is there an additional cost for the retainer? I’d also like to know how long they last. Hope to hear back from you.

I am unsure if I am suitable for Invisalign?

October 16th, 2012

I just started my Invisalign case. I’m on my first aligner. The first dentist I went to told me Invisalign couldn’t work for me, I was disappointed but didn’t give up. I went to another dentist and he looked at it once and said I’m perfect for Invisalign. But from reading peoples questions and complaints, I’m starting to get worried about if I’m been taken for ride for my money. So is it possible for someone to turn me down and some other dentist see me and say I’m perfect for Invisalign.I would really appreciate any help and advise that you can give me. I look forward to hearing from you shortly.

Could you give me a rough treatment price for Invisalign?

July 4th, 2012

Hi, just wondered whether you could give me a rough guideline price? I know it is different for everybody’s individual teeth, it’s only the top I need doing, and they really aren’t that wonky at all! The two teeth next to my two front teeth are slightly uneven, so beating that in mind, could you tell me roughly how much I am looking at, before I book a consultation please!! Thankyou

Can Invisalign correct my relapsed teeth?

July 4th, 2012

Hi there,
I wore a metal brace about 15 years ago for about two year. I can’t really remember the exact problems but I know that my lower jaw jutted out more than my upper jaw. I also had a fang tooth growing above the other teeth.
I didn’t wear a retainer after the treatment and I have noticed a shifting in my teeth from a really good position to some of my teeth moving around .
I wondered if wearing Invisalign for a period of time might help move them back and then perhaps I would have to wear a retainer for a bit?

Is Invisalign treatment right for me?

July 2nd, 2012

Hi,

I am thinking about having Invisalign and visited 2 dentists who can provide it. However, their opinions were quite different. One told me that it would be like a 7 month treatment and that all aligners would arrive together, while the other one said it would be a 15 month treatment and that each aligner would arrive individually depending on the progress. Also the price thus was quite different: 3800 euro vs. 4800 euro. Who should I believe? Thanks!

Can Invisalign be used to treat both the top and bottom teeth at the same time?

February 22nd, 2012

hello doctor Thorne

Would I be right in thinking that invisalign can straighten both top and bottom teeth? I have had a problem with over crowded teeth since I was a teenager, but did nothing about it and subsequently I have now reached the age of 28 and my teeth are still in the same state. I am now looking for some kind of discreet treatment and really think Invisalign could be the answer to my problems, but just thought it best to ask an expert before I began any treatment.

Thank you very much for any information you can give me

Can I have Invisalign braces even though I had an impacted canine in the past?

January 12th, 2012

Dear Dr Raj,

When I was younger and went to get braces, the dentist told me that I have an impacted tooth which will need to be removed before I get the braces. This threw me off and 10 years down the line I regret not doing it.

Today I went to the dentist for the first time in years, and he told me that the tooth needs NOT to be removed and I can progress with Invisalign. But im not sure because why did the dentist who I saw the first time mention it?

My front Incisors are straight but wonky to the side and I’m afraid the impacted tooth is causing the wonkiness by forcing them to grow at an angle. If I were to get Invisalign to straighten these wonky front teeth, are there any risks that it make hit the impacted canine? Or what would happen if they did?

Thanks!
