My Aligner is Bent. Should I Visit My Orthodontist?

August 11th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Patel, hope you are well. I’ve been wearing Invisalign aligners for a good 2 months now and so far am very happy as there have been no problems. But the other day I dropped my aligner on the kitchen floor and it sort of looks bent now. It still fits alright but should I go to my orthodontist about it anyway? I’ve got quite a while to go until my next visit but I’m worried that the bend will affect my treatment even though it’s only very slight. Do you think I should make an appointment?

My Aligners Cause Me a Lot of Pain. What Can I Do?

July 3rd, 2014
Q.

Hi, I have been suffering with a lot of pain during my Invisalign treatment, and it gets worse with every new set of aligners. My gums are sore and swollen and I feel like I constantly have mouth ulcers. My dentist says this is bound to happen. I imagined it would be painful at first but it is really just constant all the time. Due to the amount of pain it causes I keep having to take them out so I’m worried that they’re not working as they should because I don’t have them in long enough. I haven’t told my orthodontist that I take them out because I don’t want him to be angry. What should I do?

Are Missing Back Molars A Problem When Considering Invisalign?

February 4th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Kumar. I just wondered if you could tell me whether having missing back molar impacts on the success rates of Invisalign? I’m not even sure if I’m suitable yet, and I’m due for a consultation at the dental suite next week but I really want Invisalign. I don’t think I will be happy with anything else that they have to offer me. Are missing teeth a huge problem with this treatment? I’m hoping the aligners will actually close the gap caused by my missing teeth. Many thanks. It would be great to hear from you so I can move on with this matter.

Hi Dr Kumar, My Invisalign Is Hurting Me Six Weeks Into Treatment, Is This Normal?

January 6th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Kumar. I was wondering whether you could help me or offer some advice. I don’t think Invisalign is working for me. I’ve kept the aligners in as advised by my orthodontist but they’re hurting so much. I haven’t taken them out apart from when I’m cleaning my teeth because the orthodontist advised me not to. But they’re honestly really hurting, I didn’t think the pain would be this bad. I’m only 6 weeks into it, my orthodontic said to expect discomfort but I find myself constantly taking pain killers, is this normal? Thank you for your time.

I’m on my tenth set of aligners and still haven’t been seen by my orthodontist, is this right?

June 3rd, 2013
Q.

Hello Doctor Patel. I wondered if you could please advise me on something? I have a problem with an overbite and so decided to start using invisalign last September.
I am now on my tenth set of aligners and still haven’t been seen again by my orthodontist. I haven’t been asked to arrange an appointment or anything. I thought the aligners had to be changed and fitted by them? To ensure the correct fit etc. I am not sure if I’m on the right track. I only saw him in my consultation day.
Is this right? I don’t even know if the treatment is working properly, as I’m not really sure what to expect. These aligners cost me a fortune. I don’t know what I should do, should I ring the practice up do you think, I don’t want to insult him by suggesting he isn’t providing me with the correct treatment.  What do you think?

What is the better treatment Clearstep or invisalign?

January 5th, 2011
Q.
I have had three consultations for invisible orthodontics and I am very confused! One orthodontist has recommended Clearstep and two Invisalign! Each says their recommended treatment is better not because of my individual problem but because more professional care and attention is given in the laboratory by trained orthodontists! and therefore a better result is achieved! I am very confused and don’t know which to choose. Please can you help? ,
