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.

My retainers cause me gum pain

November 3rd, 2014
Q.

I’ve had braces for about a year and a half from 28th march 2012 to 8th September 2013 however, I have not been wearing my retainers for after treatment due to them hurting my gums but I wore them for 9 months and stopped. Now that I do not wear my retainers I have noticed that my teeth are slowly moving back which are causing me to have pains. I do wish to have braces again, but would like to know if I would pay and how much itll cost me. I am currently 17 and a student at college.

What braces would be suitable for my front teeth?

October 11th, 2013
Q.

Hello Doctor,
I am getting married next Year and really want to get my teeth sorted out before my big day. My teeth are in a bit of a mess, they are healthy and white but not straight. I can see problem areas all over my mouth. I am a primary school teacher so if I am to wear braces they would have to be discreet and not affect my speech too much. I have been looking at Inman Aligner treatment as I saw some information about it in a magazine. I don’t know much about other braces but what would you say would be the best treatment for me? My back teeth are straight its just all the front ones top and bottom. There are so many braces and so many websites that i just get very confused about which would be best for me. Thank you for your time and I look forward to seeking your advice. Kind regards and take care

Which Discreet Braces Would You Recommend?

May 20th, 2013
Q.

Hi there! I was wondering if you could help me with something? I’m a 32 year old professional, I work in an office role and I have to give presentations and that sort of thing to other large businesses. I am looking into cosmetic braces to fix my very misaligned teeth but I am looking for something that will not impact my speech OR my smile really. So something that is both discreet but practical and will work fast. Can you recommend anything? I would just like a general idea before I make an dental appointment. Thank you!

What would be the best system to fix concave shapes on the sides of my arch?

April 11th, 2012
Q.

Hi Adam, I have thought about braces for some time now as my upper arch has a sort of concave shape to from my premolars to my the teeth behind my canines like a ‘n’ with collapsed sides sort of thing. I want to know whether or not a brace can sort this out and what would be the best type of brace to use should I have the option? as a secondary thought I would like whatever system to be the quickest possible, just incase that changes anything. thank you for taking the time to read this.

I am near the end of my Invisalign treatment but am not totally happy. What can I do?

March 5th, 2012
Q.

Hi, I am currently having invisalign in London. I am basically at the end of treatment, I had 11 trays, and now am on 12+ on both top and bottom, but my orthodontist didnt really want to give me the 12+ trays. It was only because I am still concerned by teeth aren’t fully straight that he did this. It’s one tooth on top inparticular which hasn’t fully rotated. I was given the impression that if this didn’t sort it, there wasn’t much more he would be able to do. I have seen online that some clinics offer refinement with invisalign… Do you know if this is true for all clinics and whether it would be included in the original price? I was told when I signed up that at the end of treatment, he could make little tweaks if you weren’t completely happy with the treatment. What do you think? Many thanks.

When will I begin to see a change in my teeth with Invisalign?

March 5th, 2012
Q.

Hello Ms Sepehrara I need to askk you a question about invisalign. I have read your profile and have looked on your site and can see that this is your forte as such. so then, I have been wearing the Invisalign braces for just under two weeks and am due for my second set soon. I have been told that there will be four sets of these braces/aligners used. I have seen no apparent difference up to now and was wondering how the changes required would be made over the next three at this rate…
Could you please tell me hen I would start seeing improvements in my teeth shape or whether I should have already and some things wrong. thank you Dr for your time.

Should I have Six month smiles or Invisalign to fix my crooked teeth?

February 17th, 2012
Q.

Hi Anoop. I had braces just over a year ago but had them removed just over a year into my treatment because they had clearly made no effect on my teeth what so ever. I know this because the impressions on my old gum shield were exactly the same as those made in putty after this duration of time of treatment. I was really miffed off considering my teeth were only crossed- and not to the greatest extent I might add. I was wondering if i would be a good candidate for Invisalign or six month smiles with mildly crossed teeth? or will my previous treatment have jeopardised this? thanks

What’s the quickest treatment for me: Invisalign or Six Month Smiles?

January 30th, 2012
Q.

HELLO Mr Maini. I would like to ask you about orthodontics, I have heard now for a while that there are orthodontic treatments available that are either quicker than traditional methods or ones that help/work along side, I have looked at six month smiles along with invisalign. I believe I would be a good candidate for Invisalign given the state my teeth are in (not too severe). but i have also now spotted AcceleDent that runs coherently with treatment to speed it up. If i am looking for a quick treatment (before the end of this year) which option would you say is consistently best to go for the invisalign, acceledent or six month smiles, as I know this is a your forte as such. thanks Dr
