Should I Get Aligners??

February 12th, 2013

Hello,
I recently went to the dentist for a consultation to get my teeth whitened but while I was there she said that perhaps I should think about orthodontic treatment as a few of my teeth are a little bit out of line on my top teeth. To be honest I haven’t really thought about it before but now she has brought it up I do feel a bit concious of them.
She left me to have a think about it and I have seen some adverts for aligners and if I was to get any it would be these I think. If my teeth problems are minor how long do you think I would have to wear the braces?
Also I am worried about the cost and a part of me thinks I may just leave them for now.

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,

A.

Does Invisalign treatment leave any marks on teeth?

August 25th, 2011

hello doctor,

Do invisalign leave any marks on your teeth after the treatment like traditional braces. Obviously it won’t be the residual glue you get from metal braces but has it ever left scratches on teeth after treatment has been completed? I just ask because I plan to get my teeth whitened after my teeth are nice and straight and deserve to be shown off for once! and friends who have had braces and then whitening have experienced a blotched whiteness to their teeth due to where the brace had been. Does this ever happen with invisalign?
hope you can help and thank you very much for your time
