6 Month Smiles or Invisalign?

August 7th, 2014

Hello, hope you are well! I’m trying to decide between Invisalign and 6 Month Smiles. About a month ago I had a consultation for Invisalign, and the dentist I saw said I might not be 100% satisfied with the results because it might be significantly better at straightening my bottom teeth than the top (my teeth at the top are severely crowded). He seemed to think that fixed braces would be much better for me and as much as I really want Invisalign I looked at fixed braces and found out about 6 Month Smiles. Would this be better for me?

I’ve Chipped My Tooth. Will It Harm My Invisalign Treatment?

May 20th, 2014

Great. I managed to chip my front tooth when playing football at the weekend. My aligner still fits but I am worried that this may in some way harm the treatment. Will it? I have my appointment at the dentist coming up this Friday anyway so I will ask then but I would appreciate to hear your opinion. Thanks.

My dentist has placed some attachments on my front teeth and they look awful, why has this happened?

August 31st, 2010

Q.
I\’ve just returned from the dentist with my first set of aligners fitted. My dentist however has stuck some protrusions on my front side teeth. I was never told this would be needed, and it looks VERY, VERY odd – enough to make me reconsider choosing invisalign vs. normal braces (which I used to have when younger) and where nothing weird needed to be done to my teeth. They now look distorted, deformed even, with this stuff stuck to my original teeth and I am embarassed to be seen in public. Worse still, I\’ve no idea how these things will be removed without permanently damaging my teeth. Is this standard practice, and if so, why was I not told about it before paying for the treatment in full? Appreciate an opinion from another dentist. Thanks,

A.
