I Broke My Invisalign Retainer. Will My Teeth Be Fine Without It?

May 7th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Raha. Is there any chance you could help me? I broke my Invisalign retainer recently and I’m afraid to tell my orthodontist. He’s quite scary. Will my teeth be okay if I just leave it? I know your supposed to see the treatment through to the end but my teeth are fine and straight enough now. What should I do? I don’t want to go back!

How Much Should I Be Paying For A Vivera Retainer?

April 3rd, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Thorne, I hope you can help.i have now come to finish my invisalign full top and bottom aligners.i received my vivera bottom aligner for night time a few months ago,but was still having treatment for the top teeth untill recently.my dentist has told me im not entitled to the vivera unless i want to pay extra? this was not the case for my bottom one so i find this a bit strange.he went onto say invisalign have changed there contract and no longer supply the 3 sets of vivera that originaly were inc in the full price i paid of £4000.are you able to shed any light on this as my dentist is a bit cagey about it? also hes said that in the future if i need a replacement vivera it will cost me, are you able to confirm to me how much this will cost as again hes baing cagey about it aswell.
any help/advise you can give me would be great as im not happy and need to pluck up the courage to contact him to dispute it.im currently wearing my last invisalign aligner on top and have been for about 3 months now and i know that i shouldnt be and should have a sturdy retianer for night time.thank you

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

February 22nd, 2012
Q.

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

My teeth are still not aligned correctly, even after refinements. What should I do?

February 20th, 2012
Q.

Hi, I started invisalign 2 years ago to correct some wonky teeth at the top and bring forward one bottom tooth at the front which was behind the others. I had 33 aligned for the top and 25 for the bottom. Although my teeth looked better (but not perfect after the first course) I was unable to bite my back teeth together and so I was offered a course of refiners – a further 9 for the bottom and 15 for the top. I am just on my last top refiner but still my back teeth appear to be nowhere near meeting. Plus my top teeth are still not in a smooth curve at the front with one of my front teeth slightly forward of the other. I am worried as the first set of refiners did not correct my bite (which was fine before I started any treatment) and I am still not happy with the overall appearance of my teeth.

What are my options, what should I be saying to my dentist in 2 weeks?

Thanks,

My treatment is complete, but my teeth still need aligning, what should I do?

January 5th, 2012
Q.

Hello, Dr., I have invisalign (14 aligners). my treatment has come to an end but my treatment is not incomplete as mty teeth are not in the correct position. My dentist has told me that the canine tooth still needs moving other than that everything is fine as they are align from the inside. (but not from the outside).The smile is important with straight teeth or just align inside? I completely disagree. What do I do? thank you for your time
