Will Invisalign Straighten My Teeth?

August 28th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Akere. I was involved in an accident 3 years ago and a few my teeth were damaged in the process. I’ve been saving up the money to have dental treatment which is why it has taken me so long, but now I’m financially ready to get braces. My top two teeth seem to dip inwards if that makes sense, and I feel like I look weird. They cause me some pain sometimes but it’s not constant, I only feel it from time to time.Would Invisalign straighten my teeth?

Can I Drink Red Wine When I Take the Aligners Out?

August 15th, 2014
Q.

Hello doctor! I have read that red wine will lead to staining of aligners, and also the teeth themselves if you drink with them in. What about when you drink with them not in your mouth and you clean teeth straight after. Is this okay? I’m a big fan of red wine but I really don’t want to stain the aligners, so I’m hoping you can give me some piece of mind!

I’m Worried My Teenage Daughter Won’t Wear Her Aligners Properly. What Do You Suggest?

July 28th, 2014
Q.

Hello.

My daughter turns 15 next April, and our family dentist has made suggestions that she might need braces on both her lower and upper teeth. Obviously she’s at that age where looks mean everything to her and she’s very self-conscious about what people at school might think or say to her. The dentist did mention Invisalign and it does seem like that’s the one she wants to go for but it’s going to cost me a lot of money as I’ve been told they are not available on the NHS. I’d be happy knowing that she was comfortable at school but then I’m concerned that she’ll take the aligners out when I’m not around and obviously that would be a waste of my money. What is your suggestion? Thank you.

Does Invisalign Treatment Really Take 18 Months To Be Completed?

May 19th, 2014
Q.

Hi there. I didn’t realise how long I’d be wearing the aligners for. My orthodontist suggested that I’ll need around 18 months for the treatment to be completed! I was convinced he’d say 6 months at the most! Is this right? Does it usually take this long? Or is it just a way for him to charge me more? Please be honest with me. Thank you.

My Aligners Are Painful To Wear. What Can I Do To Stop The Pain?

May 16th, 2014
Q.

I have just started wearing Invisalign and it’s a little painful to wear at the moment. Do you know what I could do to stop the pain? How long will this go on for, does it get any better? My orthodontist warned me not to take them off too much but I’m finding it hard to wear them all the time. Please help me with this.

How Long Would I Have To Wear Invisalign Aligners For?

April 23rd, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr. Thorne. I have slightly protruding front teeth, and I was wondering how long would I need braces for? Also how much would Invisalign cost for me (I am 15 years old)? I am worried about getting them as I wear glasses too so am conscious about my image.

I Just Had My Aligners Removed, Along With 3 Teeth! What Happened?

July 29th, 2013
Q.

Hello there.I’m an adult and I’ve recently had Invaslign. When they were taken off, three of my teeth were broken. Is this common? I am currently 67 years old and none of my teeth have broken before. The treatment was going fine, all to plan with no worries at all. Then as soon as the aligners are removed by teeth come out with it! Do you think I had some underlying gum disease problem or something? Something that the orthodontist may have missed? I don’t know what else to do and don’t know where to turn from here. The orthodontist was just as shocked as I was and has referred me to a specialist dentist. I just feel as though I’ve wasted months on the treatment only for it to be completely unsuccessful. Thank you for your time.

How Much Should I Be Paying For A Vivera Retainer?

April 3rd, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Thorne, I hope you can help.i have now come to finish my invisalign full top and bottom aligners.i received my vivera bottom aligner for night time a few months ago,but was still having treatment for the top teeth untill recently.my dentist has told me im not entitled to the vivera unless i want to pay extra? this was not the case for my bottom one so i find this a bit strange.he went onto say invisalign have changed there contract and no longer supply the 3 sets of vivera that originaly were inc in the full price i paid of £4000.are you able to shed any light on this as my dentist is a bit cagey about it? also hes said that in the future if i need a replacement vivera it will cost me, are you able to confirm to me how much this will cost as again hes baing cagey about it aswell.
any help/advise you can give me would be great as im not happy and need to pluck up the courage to contact him to dispute it.im currently wearing my last invisalign aligner on top and have been for about 3 months now and i know that i shouldnt be and should have a sturdy retianer for night time.thank you

Should I Get Aligners??

February 12th, 2013
Q.

Hello,
I recently went to the dentist for a consultation to get my teeth whitened but while I was there she said that perhaps I should think about orthodontic treatment as a few of my teeth are a little bit out of line on my top teeth. To be honest I haven’t really thought about it before but now she has brought it up I do feel a bit concious of them.
She left me to have a think about it and I have seen some adverts for aligners and if I was to get any it would be these I think. If my teeth problems are minor how long do you think I would have to wear the braces?
Also I am worried about the cost and a part of me thinks I may just leave them for now.
