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?

My dentist has suggested doing orthodontic treatment because I have short tooth roots. Is this ideal?

December 7th, 2010
Q.
I am scheduled to start invisalign treatment next month. I have been told I have very short tooth roots and as a consequence my orthodontist has suggested doing all of the orthodontic treatment as quickly as possible (less than six months) to prevent more resorption. I am unsure however as surely moving teeth quickly would be worse. (I am assuming that greater force would be applied to my teeth to accomplish the same amount of work in less time.) Is my orthodontist correct, or will this cause more resorption than doing it over a longer period of time?,
A.
It is difficult to advise you … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
