Can I Straighten Just The One Side Of My Teeth?

February 12th, 2013

Hello Dr Sepehara, I hope you can help me. I’m 24 and have crooked teeth but its only on the right side on the bottom teeth. For this reason I never had braces because I thought it would effect the rest of my teeth which are all straight and fine. Is there an aligner which can largely leave the left half of my bottom teeth alone but straighten the ones on the right side? Or would you recommend a different treatment all together. I’m a bit confused on what to do but i’m worried that if left much longer then the crooked teeth with eventually effect the other straight teeth. please let me know what your expert opinion is, Thank you in advance

Can You Use The Aligners To Whiten Your Teeth As Well?

February 6th, 2013

Hello, Dr Manoloutsou, I have very crooked teeth but only at the top, the bottom ones are relatively straight apart from slight overcrowding. I would not like a fixed metal brace on my teeth and i’m interested in having invisalign aligners but just one for the bottom set of teeth so it would look natural. However both sets of teeth are really discoloured, The have both been stained from a coffee habit. but I have now stopped drinking coffee and started using whitening toothpastes but they’re not working as well as I had hoped they would. Basically, I want to know if you can use the aligner trays to bleach your teeth as well as straightening them at the same time? Thanks, in advance,
