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’m Not Very Happy With My Invisalign Treatment, My Teeth Feel Loose And Sore, Is This Normal?

October 7th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Manoloutsou. I have just finished my Invisalign treatment and I’m really not happy with the results, my two front teeth that were slightly bucked feel very loose. My orthodontist has said this is normal and they’ll settle in a couple of days of wearing the retainer. I’m not convinced and the area is very painful which is making me even more skeptical. Can you advise me please? Should I seek a second opinion?

September 17th, 2012
Q.

Hi Doctor,
If I have Invisalign would I be able to pay a bit every month? Or does it depend on the clinic? I couldn’t afford £3000+ all at once.
Also,does wearing Invisalign affect speech?Also, when treatment is finished will I have to wear a retainer?I know during a consultation I would find all this out but for now I don’t want to be pressured into doing something that I am not sure about.Any help and advice you have would be greatly appreciated.

After braces treatment will my teeth reverse back to their original position?

June 6th, 2012
Q.

My two front teeth buckle inwards and causes my alot of pain in the mornings and also when eating. I have been to one orthodontsist quite a few years ago who old me I would have to have teeth taken out before any treatment could be done and also that my teeth would reverse back to their original state.
I really want to do something about this. I am 33 and I don’t have lots of money so I would also have to look at what in terms of treatment I could afford.
Do you think this is right or should I get a second opinion?

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.
