I have a gap between my front teeth, am I suitable for Invisalign treatment?

October 27th, 2011
Q.

Dear Dr Sepehrara, I have a gap right in the middle of my front two upper teeth. this one is quite strange as all my teeth (with the exception of these two) are straight, but these two look like curtains if you will, they both angle slightly away from each other which in turn creates this gap. i’d never really noticed for years (sounds daft but this is true) until I decided to do something about it and got in there and had a look myself. I don’t want traditional braces and think that these would be a bit over the top to consider that all they have to do is close one gap not many. what I wanted to know is whether I would be able to get Invisalign to fix this issue? what do you think? for me Invisalign is the better option if it one you see, if it isn’t an option for this kind of orthodontics than what would be the better option? thanks

It may be a possibility, but I… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

What is the difference between Invisalign, Invisalign lite, clearstep and simpli5?

October 12th, 2011
Q.

good day Dr, I have a slight overcrowded set of front lower teeth 5 in total I believe. I have been informed of invisalign and have looked at it since. the idea of such treatment appeals to me as I dont then heave to wear a brace and can take it out in order to enjoy the finer things in life. since looking at this technique I decided, ye, i definitely want this before noticing both simpli5, invisalign lite and clearstep. I wanted to know if these did anything anything differently? I only have a minor overlap its nothing crazy that why this technique appealed so much to me. could you show me the differences between these please because if they’re just different providers they surely cannot be producing the same product? cheers

Yes, they re all the same – th… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

What are the differences between Invisalign and clearstep? And what financial support is available for a student?

October 7th, 2011
Q.

hi there,
I would like to know whether or not there is a difference between clearstep and invisalign both in the performance and the cost?

I am a student at Nottingham university and have crooked upper teeth. they are not crazy bad just slightly overlapped. I feel I am a good candidate for this type of treatment over a brace.

I am quite happy to cover the miles to see a well practised orthodontist such as yourself. I noticed that in your profile it mentions that you are an elite clearstep provider and upon seeing a picture of it it looks the same as invisalign and i was just wondering whether there would be a difference in price or performance of either- or whether they are at all different full stop?

secondly is there any financial help I can get as a student of still 19yrs old as this type may exceed my current budget, or does it depend on the practitioner?

could you perhaps recommend what you think is a better, quicker treatment or is this the best?

thanks very much.

Can invisalign fix my gap teeth having never had previous treatment?

September 21st, 2011
Q.

Hello, I have a gap in my top front teeth of approx 2 mm and smaller gaps in my bottom teeth. I have been offered treatment by my dentist using the Invisalign lite system. Is this treatment appropriate for such gaps or would full Invisalign treatment be preferable? I am 43 years old and have had no previous treatment. Also would I require a retainer after treatment and would this involve something attached to the back of my teeth or would I be able to wear a retainer at night for example.
Thanks

A.

Why has my dentist given me Invisalign lite?

July 27th, 2011
Q.

I only have around four weeks (two aligners) left of my invisalign treatment left to go. One of my top front teeth and the tooth next to it still arent aligned and look as though they have quite a bit to go until becoming straight- should I be worried that they wont be straight in the time left? Also I paid £3000 for my upper and lower invisalign but I have just noticed on my aligner packaging that is says invisalign lite- this isnt something my dentist discussed with me and now i am worried as i have heard that invisalign lite does not include refinement aligners which may be needed. I dont want to end up having to wear metal braces as that is why i went for invisalign in the first place. many thanks for your help.

Is the invisalign best for me?

July 19th, 2011
Q.

i have quite a lot of gaps between my teeth, like all of my teeth are spaced out a bit too much. I really like the idea of invisalign because it seems so discreet and unnoticeable but just wondered if it would be effective enough for all of my gaps. There is almost a gap between every tooth! Also what is the general price for a course of invisalign just so I can work out a budget. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated and thanks for your time

What type of braces would be suited to my narrow arch and two front teeth that stick out?

July 8th, 2011
Q.

Hello doctor,

My doctor tells me that I have a narrow arch on my top jaw and i have always noticed that my smile is quite narrow and ‘rattish’ This isn’t helped by my two sticky out front teeth which have also bugged me all my life. I now have the money to spend on decent braces and a good smile for the first time in my life, but would obviously like to make an informed decision about the braces I choose. Which, in your opinion would be best suited to my condition?

thank you for reading my message and any help you can give

Is there a suitable braces treatment that isn’t metal for my tooth condition?

July 8th, 2011
Q.

Hello Dr Patel, I am interested in having the Inman Aligner Brace because it is a lot faster than other braces but my dentist says that my teeth are too crooked for this treatment and I have to have some of my teeth removed for braces and the best treatment for me is metal braces. Is there an alternative to metal braces if you have very crowded teeth as I do not want anyone to see me wearing metal braces. I know there is Invisalign but my dentist even discouraged me from this saying that it will take 3 years with invisalign compared to 18 months with metal braces. Can you also give me an idea of how much this treatment would cost even if its a ballpark estimate. Thanks 

A.
Thank you for your enquiry.
