Can you explain how Invisalign Lite works?

October 5th, 2011
Q.

hello

could you tell me how invisalign lite differs from normal invisalign? I’ve heard it is a little cheaper is that true? I have a gap between my front teeth, which I would really like closing, but I really want to find the cheapest option avaialble to me if possible. If it isn’t the best treatment what would you recommend doctor?

thank you

Treatment to close front tooth gap has caused other gaps. What can be done?

August 24th, 2011
Q.

Dear Mr Kumar,
Hope you are in the best of health.
My question is that I have a gap in my top two front teeth and I have an over bite.

I am half way through a four month treatment with Clearstep and I have been told now that even though the gap between my front two teeth is closed I will now be left with gaps through the rest of my teeth.

Also after an hour of not wearing the clearstep my teeth start to move as they have gaps in them and the dentist has recommended that at the end of my treatment he will fill the gaps with a filler in order that they do not move.

I am now thinking of my options and want to know whether I will have the same problems with invisalign.

Kind Regards

I am unhappy with my Invisalign dentist. Can I stitch to another?

March 25th, 2011
Q.

Hi,
I’ve had invisalign for the past 3 months. When I went to my dentist, I told him that I was not happy with the gaps in my lower teeth. He told me that the only was to fix them was with braces. When I went in to get my aligners I had the buttons put on by his assistant. She had little experience and messed them up so the Dr had to redo them all! Also, he never gave me an explanation of my treatment, he didn’t tell me how long my treatment was, why it was so long (2 years), and he didn’t tell me why I had to wear rubberbands. When I go in for my 6 week visits I have only seen his assistant. Is this normal? Can I switch dentists?

How can gaps be closed without moving front teeth back?

March 23rd, 2011
Q.

Hello!

I have multiple gaps in both the upper and lower arches of my teeth. I also have a slight overbite, but I don’t believe it is of any concern. My smile is narrow , but I have a large mouth and jaw! The teeth and gaps currently fit well in my mouth and jaw so my concern is that by pushing my teeth back to close all my gaps, my arches will become to narrow and that will have an adverse affect on my mouth/lip shape, and something will not look right when it is all said and done! I forgot to mention that I am a 38 year old female. Do you have any thoughts on this that might be helpful to ease my concerns?

Thank you for your time

If I have overcrowded teeth is it necessary to have teeth removed in order for invisalign to work?

January 5th, 2011
Q.
Does Invisalign ever require teeth to be removed? Is this less than with fixed braces? I would like to get my teeth straightened but my teeth are very crowded and I dont’ like the idea of having teeth removed…,

Invisalign is not correcting my tooth gaps, or is it?

August 12th, 2010
Q.
the aligners aren\’t shifting the two gaps in my front teeth after having the treatment for 4 months now. I don\’t have long to go and I\’m really worried that the gaps are permanent and cannot be moved. How can I know if they are actually moving? Even if it\’s just a little bit?,

Is open bite caused by thumb sucking treatable?

March 17th, 2010
Q.
Because when I was younger i sucked my thumb for too long my bite is not completely right and my arch is gapped. I can sometimes see people looking at my teeth when I am talking to them and I will always cover my mouth when I smile or lauyght. My teeth are an ambarassement so can invisalign help me?,
