Can Invisalign Express Treat Just One Tooth?

June 6th, 2014
Q.

I have one tooth on the top which, due to not enough space, has raised and is now growing further out than the rest – basically I think it just needs to be pushed back. Is this possible with Invisalign Express and if so, how long approximately would it take? The problem is just one tooth as the rest of my teeth both upper and lower and quite straight.

Why won’t Invisalign Lite work to close the gaps in my daughters teeth?

November 6th, 2012
Q.

My 17 year old daughter has been given a treatment plan for Invisalign and Invisalign Lite. The dentist has repeatedly tried to steer us to the full Invisalign treatment, which costs almost double. He has said that if we went with Invisalign Lite, “it would look fine.” He has offered us “14 aligners to align the front teeth better improve the vertical dimension to provide more space for future treatments, but this will not fully close the spaces between the extracted teeth.” The extracted teeth were baby teeth (ur3 and ul3) that were removed because my daughter had two ingrown upper canines that were impinging on the roots of her two front upper teeth. We just don’t seem to understand why he tells us that Invisalign Lite won’t close the spaces at the front.

Are adjustments after Invisalign treatment is complete normal?

January 23rd, 2012
Q.

hello doctor Thorne

Could you explain a little bit more about adjustments with invisalign braces? My dentist tells me that I need further work, longer than he estimated when i first got the braces and I just wanted to make sure that that was a normal thing to do and that I am not being lead on with further treatment.

Is is normal to have extra work to my teeth after the designated time?

thank you doctor for your time

I have finished my treatment, but I am not happy with the results, what can I do?

January 20th, 2012
Q.

I have been using invisalign braces since Oct 2010, and had 10 sets of braces up to August 2011. I then had a further 5 sets of braces because my upper arch was still not aligned. I returned to my dentist at the end of Oct 2011, but the tooth next to my front tooth was still not in line with my arch ( it used to overlap behind my front tooth, it no longer does but is still behind the arch line of my upper teeth). My dentist told me Invisalign has refused further treatment as they have “reached their goal”. I argued that our goal was an aligned upper arch but my dentist just repeated the above. He then put a liquid emanel on top of the tooth to bring it in line with my front tooth and arch. I have had this since Oct 2011, but am not happy with it. The colour is more yellow than my own teeth, and I feel that my treatment is not complete, and not in line with what my dentist said was achievable. I asked if it was a money issue but he did not answer. Please can you advise me what to do – I am due to see my dentist in 2 weeks to have the final part of the treatment – a metal wire at the back of my upper teeth to prevent movement of my teeth back. I don’t see the point of doing this when my teeth are not fully aligned and why do I have to have liquid enamel put over a perfectly healthy tooth ( I have also been told that this discolours easily and needs replacing yearly).
I appreciate any advice you can give.
Many thanks

My smile has suffered a relapse, can Invisalign straighten my teeth again?

November 28th, 2011
Q.

HI, i am now 17, and received dental treatment from my local orthodontist around 3/4 years ago my treatment lasted about 18-24 months, when my braces were removed I traveled for a summer holiday during the trip i lost my retainers which i was given after my treatment i didn’t think to contact my orthodontist, years later i have noticed a slight move of my lower set of teeth but a more substantial move of the upper ones, i was wondering if it would be advised to get the treatment re-done, would appreciate some advise possibly to do with the invisalign treatment to.

thanks

Can you explain how Invisalign Lite works?

October 5th, 2011
Q.

hello

could you tell me how invisalign lite differs from normal invisalign? I’ve heard it is a little cheaper is that true? I have a gap between my front teeth, which I would really like closing, but I really want to find the cheapest option avaialble to me if possible. If it isn’t the best treatment what would you recommend doctor?

thank you

Can I decide how far my teeth are moved with Invisalign?

September 20th, 2011
Q.

dear Dr,
i would like to correct my teeth but not until the moment that they are totally aligned; i like my canine tooth to be a little out of their place, they look nice to me, i just want to push them back a little but not totally (lets say, to be totally on their right place they would have to be moved 4mm). in this case the movement I would like for them would be of just 2mm, so they will be still a little out, but is how i like them…. could I get a express invisaling in this case?

What is the difference between Invisalign and Invisalign Lite?

August 23rd, 2011
Q.

hello doctors,
i hope you are having a good day

i just wanted to ask about invisalign lite. What exactly is the difference between invisalign and invisalign lite? I suffer from mild buck teeth which i don’t think would take too much to correct so what do you think would be the best treatment for me? Is one for more complex conditions that the other?

Thank you for your time and any help you can give doctors
