Is My Dentist Trying To Con Me With Expensive Braces Costs?

August 9th, 2013
Q.

Hi Adam, here’s my problem: I personally don’t think I need braces, I’m convinced that a couple of veneers would simply do the trick. I think my dentist is trying to con me, I don’t know how to go about approaching the subject. I’ve already expressed my concerns because the gap is tiny but he’s saying I need fixed braces! Can you please advise me, honestly, I don’t think I’m going to get the right treatment. He says I’ll have to wear them for at least a year!

Is it usual to require more aligners beyond the suggestion treatment time?

June 19th, 2012
Q.

hello dr

is it usual for invisalign treatment to take longer than was first diagnosed-so to speak! I though it would only be twelve months, but now my dentist wants me to have another two months of braces. I just wanted to make sure tht this was common practice mainly because i think my teeth look perfect now. What do you think is my best course of action?
thank you for your help on the matter,

I have short roots so am using Invisalign to straighten my teeth, are there any bad side effects?

April 12th, 2011
Q.

I am going to get Invisalign in a couple of weeks. I had brace in my youth and have very short roots. Because of this my dentist wants to do all the orthodontic treatment as quickly as possible to prevent root resorption. Couldn�t this make the problem worse by apllying greater force to the teeth? I have not been able to find much info online so if you could give me some advice that would be great.
