Dear Vasileia,
I would truly appreciate if you could confirm me that in order to use invisalign you have to put some white fillings and its not possible to do the Invisalign treatment without them.
And if yes are these fillings very visible?
thanks
kind regards

Hi, I have one wonky tooth next to my two front teeth (before the brace it was almost on its side) and am 3/4 way through my invisalign treatment. the tooth has rotated quite a lot since last march when i first got the braces but I’ve had to have a refinement due to a space in the bottom on the tray where the attachments didn’t fit as the tooth wasn’t moving down. Now on my refinement trays (14 new ones) the gap had returned. Is there any advice on what I can do? Thanks, for your time doctor thorne

I have been using invisalign braces since Oct 2010, and had 10 sets of braces up to August 2011. I then had a further 5 sets of braces because my upper arch was still not aligned. I returned to my dentist at the end of Oct 2011, but the tooth next to my front tooth was still not in line with my arch ( it used to overlap behind my front tooth, it no longer does but is still behind the arch line of my upper teeth). My dentist told me Invisalign has refused further treatment as they have “reached their goal”. I argued that our goal was an aligned upper arch but my dentist just repeated the above. He then put a liquid emanel on top of the tooth to bring it in line with my front tooth and arch. I have had this since Oct 2011, but am not happy with it. The colour is more yellow than my own teeth, and I feel that my treatment is not complete, and not in line with what my dentist said was achievable. I asked if it was a money issue but he did not answer. Please can you advise me what to do – I am due to see my dentist in 2 weeks to have the final part of the treatment – a metal wire at the back of my upper teeth to prevent movement of my teeth back. I don’t see the point of doing this when my teeth are not fully aligned and why do I have to have liquid enamel put over a perfectly healthy tooth ( I have also been told that this discolours easily and needs replacing yearly).
I appreciate any advice you can give.
Many thanks

Dear Dr Raj,
When I was younger and went to get braces, the dentist told me that I have an impacted tooth which will need to be removed before I get the braces. This threw me off and 10 years down the line I regret not doing it.
Today I went to the dentist for the first time in years, and he told me that the tooth needs NOT to be removed and I can progress with Invisalign. But im not sure because why did the dentist who I saw the first time mention it?
My front Incisors are straight but wonky to the side and I’m afraid the impacted tooth is causing the wonkiness by forcing them to grow at an angle. If I were to get Invisalign to straighten these wonky front teeth, are there any risks that it make hit the impacted canine? Or what would happen if they did?
Thanks!

I have been wearing my invisalign braces since Sept, since then I have spoken with numerous people who have worn braces at some point in their life, most having got them young therefore not having to pay, generally most say that after a few years they notice slight movement, even though they wore the retainer for the suggested period, obviously having spent a lot of money on this treatment, I am looking for any advice you have that will help prevent future movement?

Is it ok to have invisalign if you have had gum disease in the past? I had it about 5 years ago and my teeth haved moved because of it. I would like to have my smile straightened out with invisalign so no one will see it, but am worried that my gum disease will come back, because i have to have the brace in my mouth all the time. What do you think?
thank you
