Hey guys. I started Invisalign 3 weeks ago, but I’m now having a problem. I had a dental crown fitted a few years ago and now, with Invisalign treatment, it feels like it’s starting to come loose. I think it’s due to the aligners. If I touch it, it feels very loose. What shall I do?

Hi Dr. Akere, I’m wondering if you can help me out. I want braces and Invisalign seem like the best choice, but I’m one of these people that seems to be allergic to everything! What are aligners made of, and do they contain any harmful materials? I really don’t want a bad reaction in my mouth! Thank you.

Hi Dr. Thorne. I have slightly protruding front teeth, and I was wondering how long would I need braces for? Also how much would Invisalign cost for me (I am 15 years old)? I am worried about getting them as I wear glasses too so am conscious about my image.

Hi I was just wondering if you could help me with something? I’m a professional swimmer and looking into straightening my teeth with invisalign. Would this system be suitable for me? I mean in terms of wearing them? It would be ideal for me to keep the aligners in but I swim every day, twice a day so how would I go about keeping the aligners in? Also, if I did keep them in are they likely to stain due to the chlorine? Just some general advice would be nice before I visit my orthodontist, I’d just like to gather some general tips and such. Thank you for your time!

Hi Adam =),
I currently have braces and have had them for about 14 months now. I wanted them to close the gaps i have between some of my teeth, but was told i needed them because my upper jaw is smaller than my lower jaw, and i have a cross bite. So they tried to move my jaw, my teeth were already straight and about 4 months ago i was told that my jaw wouldn’t move anymore, it was stubborn. Haha!
They did work on closing my gaps, which is usually very simple to do with power chains, as i’ve been told by friends and from researching online. But this doesn’t seem to be the same for me. They’ve taken the power chains off my upper set and replaced the wire with a rectangular steel wire, and from research, i have found that this is a wire used when treatment is basically finished. But i’m not happy, i assume that they can close the gaps as i have about 4 small gaps range from about 0.5mm to about 2mm wide, they’ve closed a bit, but i still think my teeth look horrible, my teeth seem to look diagonal when i take a picture and look at them. Should i ask my dentist if there is anything i can do about it? Or do you think an invisalign lite treatment could be used just to close the gaps on my upper set? If so could you give me a rough estimate of the time it would take and the price?
Thank you

Hello Dr Sepehara, I hope you can help me. I’m 24 and have crooked teeth but its only on the right side on the bottom teeth. For this reason I never had braces because I thought it would effect the rest of my teeth which are all straight and fine. Is there an aligner which can largely leave the left half of my bottom teeth alone but straighten the ones on the right side? Or would you recommend a different treatment all together. I’m a bit confused on what to do but i’m worried that if left much longer then the crooked teeth with eventually effect the other straight teeth. please let me know what your expert opinion is, Thank you in advance

Hello,
My daughter was told a few years ago that in time she would need braces for both her upper and lower teeth. She is 14 and really doesn’t want braces for the usual teenage reasons for wanting to look nice, not to be picked on etc
She has been doing her own internet research and had found out about Invisalign and now will talk about nothing else.
I am aware that you cant get these on the NHS so it would be costly for me and I am worried that because you can take them out that she will take advantage of this when I am not around to see her. What is your opinion?

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

hello doctors,
i hope you are having a good day
i just wanted to ask about invisalign lite. What exactly is the difference between invisalign and invisalign lite? I suffer from mild buck teeth which i don’t think would take too much to correct so what do you think would be the best treatment for me? Is one for more complex conditions that the other?
Thank you for your time and any help you can give doctors
