Will Tooth-Grinding Wear Away at Invisalign Aligners?

July 30th, 2014

Hello Drs Cannell & Stafford. I suffer with Bruxism and have to wear a mouth guard at night to stop me from grinding my teeth. My teeth are very crooked though so I would like to have braces. My dentist says I should have traditional fixed braces but I would much prefer to have Invisalign. I can see why my dentist doesn’t think I should have Invisalign as I wouldn’t be able to wear the guard at night but I would like a second opinion anyway. Would my tooth grinding wear away at the aligners? I really don’t want big metal braces so are there other options for me if I can’t have Invisalign? Thank you.

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

June 5th, 2014

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!

Will Invisalign Stop Me From Clenching My Teeth?

May 15th, 2014

My dentist office recently recommended Invisalign as a treatment to straighten my slightly misaligned teeth. They told me that with this treatment it will stop my clenching once my teeth are aligned. Is this true or would it be best to just keep using dental guards when I sleep? My teeth have only a slight misalignment that most people wouldn’t even notice.

Hello Dr. Patel. I am thinking about getting Invisalign to straighten my teeth.
Unfortunately, I grind my teeth in my sleep. Does this affect the aligners?

How Long Will A Vivera Retainer Last For?

May 20th, 2013

Dear Dr Thorne

I am considering an Invisalign course and can see from the website that treatment for the average person starts at approximately £2500. Whilst I accept that Vivera retainers will need to be worn for the rest of my life I am unable to find anywhere on the website the cost implication of this. How long, on average, is a Vivera retainer expected to last, is the lifetime supply included as part of the course of treatment, if not how much are a pair of retainers?

regards. Hope to hear from you soon.
