Why Has My Bite Changed?

August 12th, 2014
Q.

Hi Drs. I’m really concerned about my bite. I recently finished my Invisalign treatment and have noticed a change in my bite from when I started. I thought it was because of the aligners doing their job during the treatment but obviously now the problem is still here. My molars don’t touch when I close my jaws and it doesn’t feel right. My dentist told me the aligners wouldn’t affect my bite but obviously this is not true. Will I have this problem forever now or is there something that can be done to put it right?

How Can I Sort Out My Crowded and Discoloured Teeth?

August 8th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Sepehrara, I’m hoping you can give me some advice. I’m very unhappy with my teeth, they are incredibly crowded and they’ve become discoloured. It has really damaged my confidence, so much so that I never smile at anyone now. I feel as though my unhappiness is causing my family to be unhappy too. I take the best care of my teeth that I can but because of the crowding I find it difficult. What can I do?

6 Month Smiles or Invisalign?

August 7th, 2014
Q.

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?

Can I Still Carry on With My Invisalign Treatment Even Though I’m Pregnant?

August 4th, 2014
Q.

Hi! I’ve been having Invisalign treatment for 5 months but have just found out that I’m pregnant. I’ve not spoken to my orthodontist yet, will be seeing him in just under two weeks but I would just like to put my mind at rest. Will I have to stop the Invisalign treatment whilst I’m carrying my baby? Will being pregnant affect the treatment? Any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

My Teeth Are Still Not Straight After 23 Months, What Can I Do?

July 24th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Sepehrara, 

I’ve been having Invisalign treatment for nearly 23 months now and my teeth are still a very far cry from straight. My dentist hasn’t been great to be honest and he initially predicted that it would take 8-12 months to sort out my crooked teeth but it’s now been pretty much 2 years and barely anything has changed. My dentist is now suggesting alternatives such as veneers but I’ve already paid over £3000 for Invisalign so that I’d have natural straight teeth. I’m currently on my 3rd set of refinements. What can be done about this?

Is Invisalign as Effective Metal Braces When Treating a Cross Bite?

July 4th, 2014
Q.

Hi Drs Cannell and Stafford. I’m 24 and my teeth are horrible. I was told I didn’t need braces when I was younger but as I’ve got older they’ve just got worse and worse.I have real confidence issues because of them so I really want to get them sorted out. I don’t want metal braces because I’m too self-conscious. I have a severe cross bite, do you think Invisalign would be as good as fixing this problem as metal braces? Thank you.

Do I Need Time Off Work If Invisalign Affects My Speech?

June 20th, 2014
Q.

Hello! I’m currently working in an important role over at a call centre but I’m due to have my first set of aligners next week, so I’ve booked a day’s holiday to receive them. I didn’t ask if they’d affect my speech because I didn’t think anything of it at the time, is this something I should be concerned about? Do you think I should speak to my boss about it? Maybe ask for a couple more days off? Because obviously, I can’t work in a call centre if I can’t speak properly surely! Thanks for your time, I hope you can advise me!

Can I Have Invisalign Treatment Even Though Some Teeth Are Missing?

June 19th, 2014
Q.

Hi there, I was wondering if you could shed some light on my situation. I was involved in an accident a couple of years ago and I ended up losing three of my teeth. I would like Invisalign braces but will they still work even though I don’t have a full set of teeth? I can’t afford to get them straightened AND have the missing ones replaced, so which do you think I should go for? Thanks.

Is Invisalign Treatment Suitable for My 13 Year Old Son?

June 17th, 2014
Q.

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.

Can I Transfer to Another Invisalign Dentist if I’m Not Happy With My Current One?

June 11th, 2014
Q.

Hi. If I am not pleased with my dentist for any reason, can I continue my Invisalign with a different dentist? I have really critical concerns about her and I don’t know who to talk to. She said that I should wash my mouth with bleach and water! I thought she was joking but she was not!
