It’s Been 3 Months And I’m Seeing No Results. What Should I Do?

May 20th, 2014
Q.

When I visited my orthodontist for a consultation he did stress that my teeth needed a lot of straightening, I have suffered from a bad bite for many years. Anyway, after drawing up a treatment plan he still thought that Invisalign would help me. However, 3 months down the line and I’m not seeing ANY results. I feel like he’s just told me it will work to get money out of me. I don’t know what to do because surely I should have seen some differences by now! What do you think I should do?

Providing That The Condition of Teeth Are Minor How Long Does It Take For The Aligners To Work

February 12th, 2013
Q.

Hello,
My sister is getting married in September and she is quite down about her teeth as they are a bit crooked at the front. She has always been a bit embarrassed about them but I think she has just learnt how to hide them.
I have heard of Invisalign and wondered if this might work over a few months? I know that it would depend on her teeth but literally three teeth are crooked at the front. I am asking because if it might work then I would like to pay for treatment for her. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Is It Normal To Wait This Long For Treatment?

January 16th, 2013
Q.

My Invisalign dentist has been paid in full in March of last year, I have completed all of the scans, had my teeth moulds done and viewed my 3D model. The last time I visited them was in June 2012 and yet I still have not started my treatment.

Everytime I chase them they say they are waiting for the trays to arrive from America and there has been a delay due to the new technology that has been introduced. Is this normal?

After researching the dentist on line I have found hundreds of other patients in the same position and some saying the actual invisalign treatment they eventually received was so bad they had had to pay for corrective surgery on their teeth.

This has made me very nervous about even completing my treatment.

Is there an Invisalign code of practice? Or some standard that needs to be kept so a dentist can treat patients with Invisalign?

Any guidance you can give is greatly appreciated as it looks like I will be pursuing a full refund and would like to arm myself with as much information as possible.

Many thanks

Can you tell me how many aligners are normally needed to complete Invisalign treatment?

August 25th, 2011
Q.

Hello doctors, i hope you are well

could you tell me the general number of aligners you experience people using and what the usual time scale is for an ‘average’ case? My teeth aren’t that bad i just have a gap between my front teeth and some slight gaps between two other teeth, nothing too major but enough to make me feel unhappy with my smile. I ask about the time scale because i am getting married in 3 months and would really like to look my best in the photos with my gorgeous wife to be. If you help me achieve the smile I need i’ll be sure to invite you both to the wedding! lol

thank you very much for your time doctors
