How will having some attachments removed affect my invisalign treatment?

January 5th, 2011

My orthodontist removed a few attachments from my bottom teeth because I couldn’t remove the bottom aligner easily (it took us over ten minutes to get them off). The top ones were easier to remove, however. How will this affect my treatment? Should I ask for them to be put back?,

Invisalign failed to move my two front teeth fully back and I am unhappy at the results. Can you help?

October 21st, 2010

Q.
I am at the end of my invisilign treatment and have already expressed unhappiness at the end result. I was given extra retainers and then told I can not have my two front teeth fully back as there is no space. I feel I was mis-sold this treatment as this was the sole purpose for me having invisilgn. I was told my teeth would be filed down to make space. I had tradtional braces in my youth, but my front two teeth moved and so i wanted it corrected without having to wear metal braces again. I have now paid Â£6k in total for both invisilign and metal braces and I am not happy. Can you help.,

A.
Dear Sir/Madam, I am very sorr… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
