Is it okay to have my teeth whitened while having invisalign treatment?

August 17th, 2012
Q.

Hi Anoop, I’m just in the middle of my invisalign treatment on plate #6 it’s going really well, i like how loads of people don’t even know i have it! I was just wanting to know if its a good idea or not to while i’m still wearing the plates to whiten my teeth with self whitening? Or get it done at a dentists but that just costs a lot more! I also wanted to know what do dentists feel about home tooth whitening kits, i’ve heard mixed things really, that your teeth get really sensitive and sore? Does this still happen when you have it done at a dentists? If i could have your advice that would be great! I don’t want to do something that will damage my teeth! Thanks Annop!

I think i might have an abscess under my tooth, will this affect my Invisalign treatment?

August 10th, 2012
Q.

Hey there Raha, I’m about 4 weeks into my Invisalign treatment, everythings been fine up till now but recently i have been having some trouble with one of my teeth on the top. Whenever i bite down on something i get a hard shock going through my tooth – its very very painful! I think i may have an abcess underneather my tooth. What is the best way to deal with this? Because if the tooth is pulled out then will this not affect my Invisalign treatment? I’ve spent a lot of money on it and don’t want it to be a waste but the pain is really excrusiating! Is there a way to get rid of the abcess without pulling my tooth out? Thanks raha, look forward to your reply!

My son is 12, his adult teeth have come through crooked, would you recommend Lingual braces?

August 10th, 2012
Q.

Hi there

do you recommend lingual braces for younger patients? My son is 12 and his adult teeth have come through pretty crooked and he feels self conscious as it is. Im not sure if the invisible braces look advanced enough to straighten his teeth out, so if he has lingual braces it would combine the two best aspects of the two different braces and he wouldn’t feel awkward.

I just worry that because his teeth have only just come through that he won’t be suitable for the braces/

what do you think doctor?

thank you

My top and bottom teeth are very different, is it possible to get two different types of brace at the same time?

July 16th, 2012
Q.

Hey Adam!!! Just have a little question really about lingual braces. My top and bottom teeth are very different, with the bottom set they are quite squashed together and crowded, however the top set are quite straight but just have gaps in them! Is it possible to get two different types of braces at the same time? Because i think lingual braces would work on the bottom however maybe invisalign or Damon braces may be better for the top? Would these have to be done separately or could lingual braces be fitted to my top teeth even though they are quite spaced out? It might look a bit strange that actually! you know better than me! Whats your suggestion? Thanks!

I’m interested in either Damon, Invisalign and clearstep, I want it to be quick and discreet, which would you recommend?

July 16th, 2012
Q.

Hey Dr Maini, I have been researching for 6 months now the best brace for me. I had a consultation with my NHS dentist before this time and they said my teeth would be fine for most current orthodontic treatments – the three i am interested in is – Damon, Invisalign and Clearstep. Firstly could you clarify the differences between Invisalign and Clearstep, if there is a difference? Which would you recommend. I want it to be discreet that’s why i have chose these three. But i don’t want to be stuck with them for a long time? Therefore if the damon braces are faster i will put up with the tracks on my teeth rather than the clear retainers on Invisalign? Is there a price difference at your clinic between clearstep and Invisalign?

My teeth are very crowded, will invisalign be as effective as a metal brace?

July 16th, 2012
Q.

Hello Dr,   Do you think invisalign treatment is as effective as a metal brace? I do think that invisalign look like the better option being clear and all, but i wouldn’t want to give in to invisible treatment if the brace wasn’t going to do the job properly! I hate my teeth, which are all very crowded and incredibly ugly looking and i just want to be able to smile properly for once, without half attemptimg to drag my hand up to my face. I think having a good smile would make such a difference to my appearance and I would be incredibly grateful for any informaiton you can give me on the matter

thanks

I’m thinking about having Invisalign treatment but I smoke, will this be a problem?

June 29th, 2012
Q.

Hey Anoop, I have a question – I’m thinking about having Invisalign treatment soon. There is a problem that I know is my own fault, I smoke around 30 cigarettes a day, I have done for years and I really struggle to cut down. Just wondering will my smoking have an effect on the brace or if my teeth and gums will be more susceptible to rotting or disease? Are you able to take the brace out every time I smoke, Or will this slow my treatment down quite a bit? Is there another option that i can go with that will be better for me or does it not make a massive difference? I know smoking is bad for my mouth in general but just wanted to know if i was putting my teeth and gums at more risk with a brace?

I am allergic to nickel, what brace options do I have?

June 8th, 2012
Q.

Dear Adam, I’m 22 years old and I really want a brace. The only thing is I’m allergic to the nickel that they use in the traditional braces in the NHS, I get very bad blisters when coming into contact with this, i can a number of different allergies, it’s a nightmare! I cannot afford expensive private orthodontic treatments. So I was just asking if there are cheaper braces that don’t have nickel in them? I also wanted to ask what the elastic bands were for, I have seen a few people with them stretching from the top to the bottom of the jaw? Thanks you for your time!

I think I will look a bit daft if I get braces in my thirties. Can you advise?

March 9th, 2012
Q.

Hello Sir,. could you please lay to rest the fears i now have about braces. I have wanted them for a while now but I never wanted the train tracks. As a thirty one year old i feel lI would look a bit daft with them on and I here they take the longest of any treatment. I have been trying to research about things like and Inman Aligner and Invisalign but Have e found a lot of horror stories about both and also stories about how they’ve not worked or lined bottom teeth up with the top etc. what would you say about these types of brace treatment, are they reliable and do they give the correct and desired results? thank you
