Is Invisalign Right For Me? Or Should I Consider Another Brace?

June 10th, 2013
Q.

Hi, I am 15 and I have had braces before. I was given treatment for my overbite,however I lost my retainer and my teeth moved back and I don’t like the way they look anymore, it’s only my top teeth and there’s only a few teeth out of place so do you think invisalign is the right treatment? i have heard that it’s pretty expensive however so  what’s the maximum price you think I would have to pay? are there any other options you think i should consider? i want something that you can’t see,  i was already picked on for wearing my other train track braces.Would i be able to get help with the NHS due to my age? I’m not sure how i’m supposed to go about getting them fixed. thanks for your time.

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?
