Can Crowns Be Used to Straighten Teeth?

June 18th, 2014

Hello, I have a question to ask. I’m 65 years old and have been to see my dentist about having my teeth straightened. I assumed he would suggest braces of some sort, but he wants to do it by using crowns – 20 of them! He told me that my teeth won’t move easily with a brace, but when they’ve been crowned they will be re-aligned, so not crooked anymore. I just thought I’d come to you for a second opinion. Can teeth be straightened with crowns?

I Think Invisalign Is Making My Crown Loose. What Shall I Do?

May 14th, 2014

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?

I now need a dental implant, will this affect my Invisalign treatment?

August 11th, 2011

i was meant to be getting invisalign treatment in less than a week, with my aligners fast on there way, but now ive gone and had a stupid accident and broke my front tooth. My dentist says theres not enough left for bonding or veneers and suggests an implant. If i got an implant and it took like 3 months or so to heal could i still start my invisalign? do you think my teeth will still match enough? I don’t know what to do, and it horrifies me to think that i might have to pay again

any help you could give would be really, really appreciated
