Do I need fixed braces or can I have Invisalign aligners?

November 6th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr,
I would like to have Invisalign braces because they are not very obvious looking, but my current dentist says that I need fixed braces. I only have three crooked teeth on my lower mouth at the front so I can’t see why I need a fixed brace. My dentist doent do Invisalign so perhaps this is why. But in your opinion do you think that I qualify for Invisalign treatment? Thanks and I know its hard to tell without seeing my mouth yourself, but any help would really be appreciated.

I don’t think my aligners are working

November 7th, 2013
Q.

Hello there,
I am currently wearing clear aligners and have been for the past three months but I am getting worried that they are not working. I have seen no movement at all even when i use the next set of aligners every few weeks. i asked my dentist and he said that there is minimal movement at the start and to be patient but as they are so expensive I am concerned that I have chosen the wrong kind of braces. Is there anyway that I could ask to change braces or would I have to pay fthe full amount for these and another kind of brace? i think I want fixed braces as i would feel more secure knowing they are definitely moving my teeth. is this normal to have no movement yet?

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
