How long should I have to wait to receive my aligners? It has been a month

August 1st, 2011

I have been for a checkup/examination and moulds were taken for impressions of my teeth and have been sent off to the invisalign lab. That, however, was a month ago and I am still yet to receive my braces. I have rang my orthodontist and he continues to badger me off with “they’re coming soon” How long does it usually take for the aligners to be made? I know they are coming from america, but i would expect them to be here by now for the amount of money i am paying. Any help you can give would be great, and the words of another doctor, will hopefully scare my own into doing something!
thanks

Are Invisalign as good as traditional fixed braces?

June 13th, 2011

Hello,

could you tell me how long invisalign has been around and the rate of success and time frame compared to other more traditional brace systems? I am looking to get braces as i have very crooked teeth and am torn between the attractiveness of invisible braces and the established nature of metal braces. I don’t really want to have braces and find the work less than satisfactory but it would be nice to have unnoticeable braces at the same time. From your experience are they as good as metal braces and how long have you been using invisalign?
thank you for your time doctor

What kind of time period is expected from Invisalign treatments?

May 4th, 2011

hi,

i was wondering what is the usual time period from start to finish for the invisalign treatment? I have two twisted teeth and a bit of an overbite would that be a usual invisalign case or would it take extra time and work?
And what is the general cost of Invisalign and is it available in a payment plan?

thanks
