My teeth looked ‘pushed back’ after wearing Invisalign, what can I do?

December 16th, 2011
Q.

I had braces when i was 13(5 years ago). unfortunatly i took them off with tweezers. Many times i had wore them with many brackets that pop’d out my teeth.I also never wore aligners..i’ve notice how my face change during puberty has my motuh seem’d open even when close, and how i was very unhappy how my face seemed to sink.so last 9 months i’ve recieve my invisalign express aligners, thus my orthodontist said my teeth were in good condition, i wanted to finsh what i started. now i’m on my last set of aligners, im extremly unhappy & uncomfortable how my teeth feel and how my mouth looks as if its been pushed back. My question is if i get braces again, would it push my teeth foward or as it was? is there any other appliance that will help on this matter?

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

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

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.
