Good Day. I Would Like To Ask You Whether A Six Year Old Would Benefit From Invisalign Treatment?

November 11th, 2013

Good day. I am a practising surgeon abroad. My six year old daughter lives in the West Midlands, and I am seeking assistance with her management. She has a severe class two bite, with significant overjet, with anterior proclincation of her first two incisors and is also slightly retrognathic. I would like to ask if a six year old may benefit from Invisalign during maxillary growth in her mixed dentition stage. I am seeking treatment for her case, and have cephalograms, with tracings already. I would be grateful for your advice. Thank you for your time.

Can Invisalign correct goofy, gapped teeth?

August 31st, 2011

hello

what are the main things that you can treat with invisalign? I have a overbite that makes me look really goofy and my friend, who is also interested in getting invisalign, has a gap between her two front teeth. We’d both like to have invisalign because no one will see it when we are wearing it, but just wanted to make sure that we could be treated before I went and asked my dentist.

thank you for reading my message and any answers you can give

Would Invisalign be able to treat an overbite?

May 4th, 2011

Hello,

i have a very large overbite and wondered if invisalign is strong enough to treat this? In my general research it always seems to be metal or braces with blocks that are recommended for treating overbites but at the same time they are horrendously ugly and uncomfortable to wear.
My overbite is about an inch over do you think invisalign could treat this and would i need any teeth taking out?

many thanks

Is there any way Invisalign attachments can be placed on the back of the teeth?

December 23rd, 2010

Q.
I have an anterior open bite with about a 6mm opening and I understand that if I treat this with invisalign I will have to wear attachments on my front teeth and I am very self-conscious. Is there anyway these attachments can be placed on the back of the teeth and close the bite?,

A.
Yes it is possible but it depe… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

When I had a consultation for 6 month smiles the dentist said the treatment wasn’t ideal. Could you advise?

November 24th, 2010

Q.
hi, I am trying to decide between invisalign and 6 month smile. I already had a consultation for invisalign and the dentist said i may only be 50% happy as it could sort out my wonky teeth at bottom but not maybe my overjet of two topfront teeth due to crowding. he said ideally fixed braces would be a better solution(as in 12-18 month ones) Another dentist offers 6 month smile. Could this be any more effective with overjet? both are offered as part of groupon deals so costs would work out same about 1400 pounds. Thankyou!,
