I’ve Had Gum Disease in the Past. Will Invisalign Cause Future Problems?

August 19th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Akere. I had gum disease just over 2 years ago, but my mouth is more or less okay now. I do know that gum disease isn’t just a one-time thing and can come back. Because I had gum disease for quite a long time, my teeth have changed positions and my smile doesn’t look very nice now. I’m dying to have straight teeth and Invisalign sounds great but I’m worried that my gums and teeth are weaker because of the gum disease so will Invisalign cause problems for me?

Are the costs my dentist is charging for Invisalign treatment correct?

January 3rd, 2012
Q.

I recently went to my dentist to enquire about invisalign but wanted a second opinion as he has only been involved in invisalign for two years. I visited another dentist who told me that I would need invisalign for ten months and he put together a price plan. However the prices was £800, £600 higher than the first quote and I am expected to pay for xrays outside of this. The dentist told me that xrays should be carried by dentists every few years but I feel that I am being misled..after doing some research the xrays are needed as part of the diagnostics for invisalign. Does this price seem high & should xrays be included?

I injured my tooth just before I was to begin Invisalign. Could I still go ahead with it?

June 6th, 2011
Q.

hello there doctor,

i wonder if you can tell me if I am ok to begin invisalign treatment. I was planning to go ahead with it when a few weeks ago I had a fall and impacted one of my front teeth. I had this thoroughly checked out by my dentist, who x-rayed the area to make sure there was no deep damage. He found this to be negative and said my tooth was fine and apart from the odd twinge here and there the tooth feels fine and I have been eating upon it. Do you think I could go ahead with Invisalign in this point in time? I am quite eager to get started towards a better smile but obviously do not want to compromise my overall oral health. What is your opinion doctor? I have booked an appointment with my other doctor just to make sure but the more advice the better in my opinion. Thank you very much for your time.

Would Invisalign still be an option despite facial injury suffered some months ago?

May 31st, 2011
Q.

Hello Doctor and thank you for taking the time to consider my question.  I recently suffered an injury to my face and mouth and although my teeth don’t feel at all sensitive like they did at first I was wondering if it would still be dangerous for me to start invisalign after this accident?
It has been about 3 months since the injury and I have been for check-ups at my local dentist who said there was nothing wrong with the roots or teeth but i would just like another opinion of yours to put my mind at ease.

Thank you for your time and I hope you can help.

My dentist warned my about root resorption. Would this prevent me from having Invisalign?

May 31st, 2011
Q.

hello Doctor, hope the day finds you well,

I have been thinking of getting invisalign for a long time and have recently been able to gather the funds to so. I went to my regular dentist to have a checkup and told him that I was thinking of having Invisalign, and he made the comment that my roots may be too short for the treatment and something about root resorption. I know you won’t be able to tell completely without seeing me in person but could you explain this condition and the ramifications if i start Invisalign treatment.

thank you for your time and any help would be greatly appreciated

Hello,
Iâ??ve recently been researching your website and just wanted to ask about the cost of the braces. Is there a confirmed price at the start of the procedures and does this price cover the cost of each brace fitting?
