How Much Does it Cost to Replace an Aligner?

July 22nd, 2014

Hello Dr Patel. Invisalign braces seem like the ideal option for me because they’re removable and discreet, but I am really clumsy and manage to lose everything so I’m worried I’d lose my aligner! How much would I have to pay if that happened? I also wanted to ask if there’s a cooling off period in case the aligners don’t agree with my for whatever reason? Another worry I’ve got is that I’ll find them painful and just want to take them out all the time. Thank you!

Will my illness mess up my Invisalign treatment?

September 27th, 2012

Hello Doctor,
I am currently having Invisalign treatment and have been wearing braces for about four months now. Everything has been going fine and my dentist is happy with the results so far as am I. The problem is that for the last nine days I have been extremely ill with a throat and chest infection and have not been wearing my aligners. Mainly because I have just felt too ill to bother and also I have been coughing a lot and they were inconvenient really. Perhaps being ill I wasn’t thinking properly. Anyway, I know i have to confess this to my dentist ASAP but what do you think the outcome will be? has it messed up my whole treatment ? Thanks you in advance.
