Am I Suitable for Invisalign After Having Gum Disease?

August 6th, 2014

Hello. I have suffered with gum disease for about a year now and have been visiting my dentist for periodontal treatment for a number of months to get it under control. I really want to use Invisalign to straighten my teeth, but am I suitable for it after having gum disease? Due to the gum disease there are gaps between my teeth that are quite noticeable. I plan to book a consultation as soon as I can, but I’d love to hear any advice you might have for me. Thanks in advance!

Is Invisalign The Right Treatment For Me?

February 10th, 2014

Hello Dr Thorne, I hope you can help me with my enquiry, I recently visited a orthodontist who recommended to me Invisalign, my top teeth stick out a lot with lots of gaps, plus my jaw is further back. Is Invisalign the right treatment for me? I’m unaware of the other types of braces there are and would like to know what each can do for me. Thank you in advance, I look forward to hearing you advice and information on this matter.

Can Invisalign straighten my teeth in time for my sister’s wedding?

January 3rd, 2012

hello there, i have a severe overbite and a gap between my two front teeth would invisalign be a likely candidate? How long does it take the treatment to reach its goal on average, I just ask because I am to attend my sister’s wedding in 6 months and would love to have straight teeth in time of the pictures! If Invisalign wouldn’t be the best choice would you be able to recommend me another brace system, I would be very grateful if you could. Thank you for your time

I have come to end of my Invisalign treatment, but I am not completely happy, is there anything I can do?

November 7th, 2011

I am coming to the end of wearing the invisalign aligners and in two weeks i will start wearing the retainer. My front teeth were very overlapped, now the are much straighter however i have a big gap between them, especially at the top by the gums. My dentist told me my gums may drop into the gap but i have to say i dont believe him.

Is this possible? What can i do to close the gap? Or what can i do if i am not happy with the results?

Thank you

I am on my 9th set of Invisalign and a gap has started to appear, are the braces working properly?

April 27th, 2011

I am on my 9th of 11th set of Invisalign treatment for my upper teeth. I must say that the videos i was supplied with are not looking at all like they will end up by set 11. There has also been a continual gap that has now significantly increased on tray number 9th. This exists on the lower portion of my upper lateral incisor, the tray appears to fit my teeth well apart from this tooth. I work abroad so i have been given 2-3 trays at a time to change with consultations every time i have been back. Is there any advice that you can give me? I have paid 4000 for my treatment and was hoping for pretty flawless result. My teeth were not in that bad a start to start and didn’t really require that much work.

Thanks
