Am I Cleaning My Invisalign Aligners Properly?

April 25th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr. Thorne. When using Invisalign, my teeth discolour slightly. This happens over the two weeks that I wear the aligners, despite my cleaning them as the orthodontist recommends (with washing up liquid). Is this normal, or should I be doing something different? Thank you.

Is Teeth-Shaving Safe?

April 25th, 2014
Q.

My dentist has informed me that if I want to have Invisalign aligners, I will need to get some of my teeth shaved away. I am quite scared by the prospect as I have heard that it can cause sensitive teeth and damaged teeth. It it safe? Thanks.

What Is The Fastest Solution For Straightening My Teeth?

April 24th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr. Akere. I had braces around 3 years ago and my teeth were straight afterwards, but then my retainer broke and I didn’t get it sorted, and now my teeth have moved back. I want my teeth to be straight again as soon as possible, will Invisalign be the best solution for me? Thanks!

Can I Wear My Aligners When I Go To The Sauna Or Is There A Chance They’ll Melt?

February 24th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Thorne, I hope you can help me, I have a query for you. I was just wondering recently if it is okay to wear my aligners in the sauna three times a week for about 20mins to half an hour? Or will they melt? I would hate for anything to happen. Also is there any other activity that could harm or prevent my treatment from taking place successfully. It worries me that something could happen and I would have to pay for treatment all over again. I would be great to hear back from you regarding this enquiry. Many thanks!

I Dropped One Of My Invisalign Aligners And Now It Looks Bent, Should I Visit My Orthodontist About This?

July 19th, 2013
Q.

Hi Dr Manoloustou. I dropped my top Invisalign aligner the other day and it’s now bent slightly, it seems to fit okay but not sure if i should go to my orthodontist about this? I’m not actually due to go and see her for another 3 weeks but if this slight bend is going to affect my treatment time then i’m not sure what i should do? What do you think?? should i make an appointment? She is always SO busy because she’s an amazing orthodontist so i don’t really want to trouble her if I don’t actually need to. I mean, it’s only bent I didn’t break it, thank fully I didn’t stand on it because then I would be in great trouble haha. Thank you very much for your advice, I appreciate you reading this and getting back to me.
