I’ve Had Gum Disease in the Past. Will Invisalign Cause Future Problems?

August 19th, 2014

Hello Dr Akere. I had gum disease just over 2 years ago, but my mouth is more or less okay now. I do know that gum disease isn’t just a one-time thing and can come back. Because I had gum disease for quite a long time, my teeth have changed positions and my smile doesn’t look very nice now. I’m dying to have straight teeth and Invisalign sounds great but I’m worried that my gums and teeth are weaker because of the gum disease so will Invisalign cause problems for me?

I’ve Chipped My Tooth. Will It Harm My Invisalign Treatment?

May 20th, 2014

Great. I managed to chip my front tooth when playing football at the weekend. My aligner still fits but I am worried that this may in some way harm the treatment. Will it? I have my appointment at the dentist coming up this Friday anyway so I will ask then but I would appreciate to hear your opinion. Thanks.

Will My Wisdom Teeth Affect My Treatment?

May 8th, 2014

I began the invisalign treatment a few months ago but my wisdom teeth have started to erupt. My dentist has said one of them has to be removed because of how it’s growing. So with this in mind, I’m really worried that it’s going to affect my treatment. It was going so well and I feel it’s all going to go wrong now. Can you please try and ease these fears for me? I’m due to see my orthodontist in 2 weeks but frightened about what he’s going to tell me.

I Have Been Quoted More Than I Expected For Invisalign Treatment. It’s Left Me Confused And I’d Like To Know If This An Accurate Estimate?

February 17th, 2014

Hello Dr Kumar. I have a question I would like clarification on. I used to have braces and didn’t wear my retainers long enough, which meant that I suffered from orthodontic relapse. I have since been quoted £4000 for Invisalign for some minor corrections on my teeth. Is this right? I was expecting less, especially as the Invisalign website quotes £1800 for minor treatment. This has left me a little confused and any advice you could offer me on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Would There Be Any Problems With Changing My Invisalign Dentist?

January 20th, 2014

Hi Raj, I have a question for you that I would really like confirmation on. I have already been assessed for Invisalign and my dentist has a treatment plan. I have paid for the initial assessment etc. I would like to know whether I can now take this plan to another dentist for treatment or would I have to go through the whole procedure again? Would this incur any further costs or would the price stay the same? Thank you in advance for your advice and I forward to your reply.

Is There Any Way Of Receiving Invisalign Treatment In Another Country?

December 16th, 2013

Hello Dr Thorne, could you tell me if there is a way one can be treated without visiting another country, since there are many challenges? Is there any way you can quote the price for Invisalign and if possible, the transactions be made though the post office either in cash or instalments? Also is there any way the braces be sent to me and fitted by a dentist close to me? I hope you can help me as I would really like to have my teeth straightened. I look forward to your reply and I hope you can help me. Many thanks.

Hi. I’m Becoming Frustrated By My Orthodontist, He Said My Invisalign Treatment Would Be Straightforward But I’ve Lost A Tooth.

October 14th, 2013

Hi. I am currently receiving Invisalign from an Invisalign preferred orthodontist, that’s why I visited him in the first place. He said that treatment would be smooth and results were going to predictable. I’m very disappointed with the treatment thus far. I have had to have a tooth removed, which he said wouldn’t be required and I’ve had several ulcers that keep coming back. Can you please advise me? Because I’m beginning to lose my rag with him. Cheers.

I’m Not Very Happy With My Invisalign Treatment, My Teeth Feel Loose And Sore, Is This Normal?

October 7th, 2013

Hello Dr Manoloutsou. I have just finished my Invisalign treatment and I’m really not happy with the results, my two front teeth that were slightly bucked feel very loose. My orthodontist has said this is normal and they’ll settle in a couple of days of wearing the retainer. I’m not convinced and the area is very painful which is making me even more skeptical. Can you advise me please? Should I seek a second opinion?

I’m using Invisalign and just found out that I’m pregnant, will I have to stop treatment?

July 8th, 2013

Hello Dr Kumar. I was just wondering if you could please advise me with something? I have been undergoing the invisalign treatment for a few months now and found out that i am pregnant. I haven’t had chance to speak to my orthodontist yet, I’m due to see him next week but frightened he’s going to tell me that i have to stop treatment. Can being pregnant affect the way the braces work? I’ve read chances of gum disease occurring is heightened during this time so maybe it isn’t a good idea to keep the aligners in? Any advice would be great, would just love a heads up before i visit him. Thanks!
