My Teeth Are Sliding Back Into There Original Position After Wearing Braces. What Treatment Options Should I Have?

November 18th, 2013
Q.

Hi Dr Manoloutsou. I had train track braces when I was a little girl and got really bullied because of them but unfortunately they were the only ones my mum could afford. It has been about 10 years since I had them removed and I can see my teeth sliding back to their old position. I don’t want to go through wearing fixed braces again and I could just need a quick fix or a bonded retainer perhaps? Is there anything you can suggest please? Thank you for your time, I await your advice.

After Invisalign treatment do you get a retainer?

October 4th, 2012
Q.

Hello doctor, I have been looking at getting Invisalign treatment but am nervous as I have had braces before, which solved most of my problems but then my teeth drifted back after a number of years and now I’m basically back to square one. The reason I have chosen Invisalign then is because I have heard that you are given a lifelong retainer after your treatment is complete. Is this true? What does the retainer look like and is it just worn at night? Thank you for your time.

Would I need to wear a retainer with Invisalign treatment?

October 4th, 2012
Q.

Hello there! How do you think it will go if I have Invisalign for both my top and bottom teeth to straighten out some unruly teeth? My top teeth are mainly ok but a little crowded and my bottom teeth are even more crowded! Am I likely to find success with Invisalign? Also, just how much do you think it will cost to have Invisalign? One more question please: Someone who is a dentist has told me that if I have Invisalign then I will have to wear a retainer at night for the rest of my life. Is this true?Thank you for your time and I look forward to any advice that you have for me.

What retainers would you recommend I use following the completion of my Invisalign treatment?

March 9th, 2012
Q.

hello

I you were to personally choose between the types of retainers after invisalign treatment what would you go for doctor? Fixed or removable? I am soon to complete my invisalign treatment and obviosuly don’t want to lose all that hard work, but am just a bit confused about the best retainer. Do you have a retainer-or which retainer do you see the best stability with, with your patients?

thank you doctor

The retainer I was given after Invisalign treatment is causing pain. What can I do?

December 23rd, 2011
Q.

I had Invisalign treatment done while I was in Canada. As I knew I was coming to university in the UK I opted for a permeant retainer/metal wire on the back of my lower teeth. It has now been 3 years and I now am having tooth pain very similar to when I would start wearing a new Invisalign treatment and the teeth are pushing against the wire. Should I be concern as I have felt this pain for a few weeks? Is there anything I can do while I am in the UK (I am here for another year)

What can I do to stop my teeth moving again?

December 9th, 2011
Q.

I have been wearing my invisalign braces since Sept, since then I have spoken with numerous people who have worn braces at some point in their life, most having got them young therefore not having to pay, generally most say that after a few years they notice slight movement, even though they wore the retainer for the suggested period, obviously having spent a lot of money on this treatment, I am looking for any advice you have that will help prevent future movement?

What are the best retainers for my teeth?

October 26th, 2011
Q.

Hello Dr Vaseleia Manoloutsou

I am now at the end of my Invisalign treatment and am happy with the results/positioning of my teeth.

I’m now ready for retainers…. but I am informed that these will cost extra? I was strongly under the impression that retainers were included in the Invisalign treatment package?

Also, I am being informed that the Invisalign retainers can be quite expensive for what they are… and that another make of retainer might be a better option. Does this not go against the grain? This also concerns me.

I just want the very best available to do the job… Obviously I don’t want my teeth to suffer after going through the expense and effort.

I will, of course, discuss this with my orthodontist, but I feel that the advice I may receive will financially be in the interest of the practice… rather than for the good of my teeth.

Without you sitting on the fence, I’d really appreciate your expert opinion and advice on this. Thank you very much in advance.

My teeth are moving after my Invisalign treatment, even though I wear retainers.

October 18th, 2011
Q.

Hi, i have finished my invisalign braces about six months ago. I was wearing my retainers every night but i noticed that my teeth had moved slightly so i have gone back to wearing my aligners at night. i have been advised that this can happen sometimes and that i can purchase additional aligners (the ones i have are damaged). Surely the retainers should have been made perfect in the first place? I do feel that this is just a gimmick to get more money

What should I do if I think my teeth have relapsed following treatment?

January 5th, 2011
Q.
I did an Invisalign treatment which I completed 90-95% of (I think only 2 out of 24 were left), unfortunately, I lost the last two braces in a house move so could not complete it. Since my teeth looked pretty OK, I just used the last brace I had as a retainer until Sep of this year and then stopped using it. Now I feel that my teeth might be relapsing (for e.g. that last brace won’t fit anymore), what would be the best course of action for me? I don’t really want to loose all the work that the Invisalign braces did for me. Please advise. Thanks very much!,
