Are There Any Discreet Braces Suitable for People That Grind Their Teeth?

June 5th, 2014
Q.

Hi, I’ve been looking into braces for a long time now but I grind my teeth at night. My dentist has been trying to get this under control but it’s still a really bad habit of mine. Is there any discreet brace you can recommend that would be suitable for me? My teeth were already misaligned before I started grinding my teeth…so that isn’t the problem! I wanted Invisalign but have been told because they’re aligners they won’t be suitable because of the grinding. Thank you for your help!

Can I have Invisalign treatment even though I am a cage-fighter?

May 22nd, 2012
Q.

Hello,
This is a bit of a strange question but I have wonky teeth and am getting married next summer. i would like to sort my teeth out for the wedding and have looked at Invisalign as one of my options.
My concern is that I do cage fighting as a hobby and wear a mouth guard. How will this affect me having Invisalign because I read that you need to wear them about 20 hours a day. I would like the treatment to work as fast as possible obviously because I have a deadline to meet!
Thanks for your time.

Can Invisalign straighten my smile in time for my wedding?

April 4th, 2012
Q.

My left front tooth is slightly bigger than my right and it sticks out quite far catching on my lip it is really only this tooth that overhangs when I bite down and it looks slightly more twisted than the others when I smile. My mouth is quite small but I have had 4 teeth removed years ago to help with overcrowding but my front tooth seems to be getting worse I was wondering is invisalign the quickest solution to this is as I’m getting married in 3 months and feel concious off this in photos many thanks

Can Invisalign straighten my teeth in time for my sister’s wedding?

January 3rd, 2012
Q.

hello there, i have a severe overbite and a gap between my two front teeth would invisalign be a likely candidate? How long does it take the treatment to reach its goal on average, I just ask because I am to attend my sister’s wedding in 6 months and would love to have straight teeth in time of the pictures! If Invisalign wouldn’t be the best choice would you be able to recommend me another brace system, I would be very grateful if you could. Thank you for your time

Is Invisalign the best brace to close a front tooth gap and move my crowded teeth?

December 7th, 2011
Q.

hello Doctor Thorne,

I hope you can help. I am looking into finally getting some braces for my teeth, which have a very big gap between the front two teeth and then the rest of the top jaw (teeth I mean) are severely crowded. Obviously this doesn’t look at all attractive, so I am looking for the best treatment to close up the gap and spread out the other teeth (I guess that’s what would happen) Do you think that invisalign would be up to this job?
if so how long could you estimate it would take and how much would it cost?

thank you very much

Can Invisalign straighten my crossed teeth in 4 months?

October 21st, 2011
Q.

i am looking for fast effective treatment to be completed in 4 months for crossed over front teeth. Do you think it is at all possible for me to received those kind of results in that time with invisalign? The crossed teeth are the only problems I have and I do not have any dental or gum disease, so that will not be a problem when it comes to treatment. Do you think Invisalign would be a good choice?

thank you

My aligner feels loose already, should I be worried?

August 19th, 2011
Q.

Hi Doctors

i am on the third stage of my invisalign and have been wearing them for about a week and the aligner is already starting to feel loose. Is this an indication that I should be onto the next stage or could something be wrong with the aligner? I plan to go to my dentist next week but i’d just like some info before hand.

thanks very much for your time

What is the shortest and longest amount of time treatment has been completed in?

August 18th, 2011
Q.

hello

I am looking at lots of different braces to see which would be the best for me. I really like the sound of invisalign as i would preferably like a brace that no one else could see, which is obviously one of inivsaligns main selling points. I just wondered about the time scale though. Could you please tell me the longest someone has had to wear the invisalign brace with you and the shortest time? My orthodontic condition mainly affects my front teeth which are a little twisted

thanks for your time

Is there anyway to shorten the treatment time of my Invisalign braces?

August 5th, 2011
Q.

hello doctor,

i have started wearing my aligners and it has been about 4 weeks so am stll on my second aligner. There was a point with the first aligner, where is wasn’t becoming as loose as the dentist told me it would and i wondered if i could do anything to ensure that the brace is working at its optimum level. My friend has told me about some mouth guard thing, i think it is called exceldent or something that speeds up the action of braces. Have you come across it and would you recommend it?

thank you
