Will Tooth-Grinding Wear Away at Invisalign Aligners?

July 30th, 2014

Hello Drs Cannell & Stafford. I suffer with Bruxism and have to wear a mouth guard at night to stop me from grinding my teeth. My teeth are very crooked though so I would like to have braces. My dentist says I should have traditional fixed braces but I would much prefer to have Invisalign. I can see why my dentist doesn’t think I should have Invisalign as I wouldn’t be able to wear the guard at night but I would like a second opinion anyway. Would my tooth grinding wear away at the aligners? I really don’t want big metal braces so are there other options for me if I can’t have Invisalign? Thank you.

Is Invisalign Treatment Suitable for My 13 Year Old Son?

June 17th, 2014

Hello there, I have a question on behalf of my 13 year old son. Now that all his teeth have come through, we are considering braces as they are quite crooked and lacks confidence at school. He says he would feel much less awkward wearing Invisalign because they’re much less visible than the chunky metal braces. Would he be able to have Invisalign treatment even though he’s only 13? Thank you for any advice you might be able to offer.

What Is The Most Comfortable Brace System?

May 30th, 2014

Hello, I wondered if you could just provide me with a small piece of advice please? I can’t handle pain very well at all. I am overly sensitive and it’s been a problem of mine for many years now. The doctors hated me when it came down to having injections or anything like that. My teeth are very misaligned and I’ve been after braces for years but worried about the amount of pain that they may incur. Can you please tell which braces you think are the most comfortable? Thank you!

Can You Achieve The Same Results With Invisible Braces?

March 25th, 2013

Hello doctor Thorne, I am very concerned about my teeth. I have very crooked teeth and have been wanting to sort them out for years. I am now consulting with my dentist to have some orthodontic work done to fix my teeth. I absolutely dont want to have my teeth in metal braces as i dont wish my appearance to compromise peoples opinions of me particularly in work. However, I just dont fully understand how invisalign and the other invisible braces really work and if they can really be as successful in straightening your teeth as the mental fixed braces as my teeth are really very very crooked. What do you recommend for people with severely crooked teeth

Providing That The Condition of Teeth Are Minor How Long Does It Take For The Aligners To Work

February 12th, 2013

Hello,
My sister is getting married in September and she is quite down about her teeth as they are a bit crooked at the front. She has always been a bit embarrassed about them but I think she has just learnt how to hide them.
I have heard of Invisalign and wondered if this might work over a few months? I know that it would depend on her teeth but literally three teeth are crooked at the front. I am asking because if it might work then I would like to pay for treatment for her. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Am I suitable for Invisalign treatment?

September 3rd, 2012

Hello,
I have minor problems with both my upper and lower teeth. On my bottom jaw three teeth are not straight, one of them is higher up than the others and also slightly behind.On my top jaw both fang teeth are not quite straight but that’s about it.
Do you think I would be suitable for Invisalign from what I have told you? I know this is difficult as you haven’t seen my teeth!Also I would like the treatment to be fast because I will join a cruise ship in April next year and would like it all to be sorted by then. If you think it would take longer what is the next best brace to get that is quickish and discreet? I really don’t want fixed braces!
Thank you doctor in advance for your help.

Is Invisalign treatment possible in the Army?

July 30th, 2012

Hello,
I am joining the army in September and am due to have a consultation in three weeks about starting Invisalign treatment for three crooked teeth.
To be honest I didn’t know very much about Invisalign until i read up on it on here. I am now starting to think I shouldn’t have Invisalign or any other treatment as I am not sure where I will be with the army. Do you have any suggestions? My crooked teeth actually cause me pain when i eat so I would like to fix them for this rather than so my teeth look perfect. Thanks for your help.
