My Teeth Have Relapsed, What Can Be Done?

August 5th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Thorne. I had Invisalign treatment 2 years ago, but I don’t think I wore the aligners for as long as I should have, I mean I would take them out quite often when I probably shouldn’t have, and I didn’t wear the retainers every night. My teeth weren’t really that bad but still enough of a problem for me to have braces to straighten them. I think my teeth have relapsed slightly, as there is a slight overlap between my top 2 teeth. What can be done about this?

I Had Braces But My Wisdom Teeth Have Caused Them To Relapse. How Much Would It Cost To Fix The Top Set?

April 22nd, 2014
Q.

Hi Adam,

I was having a look through your website and was hoping you could make a recommendation for me. I had braces as a teenager, which left me with perfectly straight teeth. But due to my wisdom teeth coming through, this has pushed my molars forward and caused my front 4 teeth to squint. Is there a particular version of your product that could work best to straighten my teeth and also would you have an idea on cost? It would only be my upper set. Many thanks, I hope you can help me with this and I look forward to your reply.

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
Q.

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.

I Need Your Advice As I Have Lost My Retainer, What Can I Do?

November 25th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Thorne, I really need your help and advice. I have lost my final Invisalign retainer, what can I do? I’m worried about what my orthodontist will think and say. Will I have to pay extra for spares? What happens If I leave it, will my teeth start to go back to their old position? Thank you, I really hope you can offer some advice and help me with this!

I have lost my bottom retainer and my top retainer is cracking, what should I do?

January 30th, 2012
Q.

Hi, I had the treatment for a gap in my two top front teeth however the orthodontist tidied up my bottom teeth too (these were not really the problem) however I lost the retainer for the bottom set and I am just worrying that when I wear the top one’s at night I am ruining them with my teeth as they are cracking where my bottom teeth touch them. Is this usual for people to experience or do you have patients that only have treatment for the top / lower teeth? I cannot afford to replace my lower retainer and my teeth have moved already. What is the normal course of action for this? Many Thanks

What can I do to stop my teeth moving again?

December 9th, 2011
Q.

I have been wearing my invisalign braces since Sept, since then I have spoken with numerous people who have worn braces at some point in their life, most having got them young therefore not having to pay, generally most say that after a few years they notice slight movement, even though they wore the retainer for the suggested period, obviously having spent a lot of money on this treatment, I am looking for any advice you have that will help prevent future movement?

Can Invisalign straighten my teeth again and what can I do to stop them relapsing again?

November 28th, 2011
Q.

Hello doctors,

I wonder if you could help me. I had braces about 10 years ago and my teeth within that time have relapsed. They are not as bad as they were, but I still would prefer them to be straight. A mild amount of crowding has occurred at the front of my mouth, probably because my wisdom teeth have come through and caused a bit of tightening. Anway, i waffle i was just wondering could invisalign treat this and will it be able to stop it relapsing again?

thank you very much for reading and for your time.

My teeth have relapsed again, what do you recommend?

October 31st, 2011
Q.

Hello, two years ago I got retainers on my teeth but I found them a pain and often didn’t wear them. My teeth were not really misaligned that bad but was still a problem. So my dentist gave me braces which I wore for about three months or so. I was then given retainers after the braces to avoid relapse but again didnt wear them often. My teeth has now relapsed slight as one of my front teeth is slightly overlapping another. What would you suggest for me?

My teeth are moving after my Invisalign treatment, even though I wear retainers.

October 18th, 2011
Q.

Hi, i have finished my invisalign braces about six months ago. I was wearing my retainers every night but i noticed that my teeth had moved slightly so i have gone back to wearing my aligners at night. i have been advised that this can happen sometimes and that i can purchase additional aligners (the ones i have are damaged). Surely the retainers should have been made perfect in the first place? I do feel that this is just a gimmick to get more money
