My upper teeth are crooked and twisted but cannot have metal braces will invisalign work

Saturday, May 31st, 2008
Q.
My upper teeth care slightly crooked at the front. I had braces as a child but have been told that the orthodondist used old fashioned techniques that often go wrong. The two teeth immediately on either side of my two front teeth are slightly twisted round and sit a bit behind them. I have attempted braces about a year ago but as an adult can’t really deal with having them, not being able to speak etc. However, I really want straight teeth (especially having already gone through so much pain, extractions etc to get them!). Do you think the invisalign braces would work for me? Thanks in advance.

I lost my front teeth and have an aggressive dentist I have an infection

Saturday, May 31st, 2008
Q.
I lost my two front teeth when I was 8yrs old and since then I have had crowns, plates and now a even wider denture.I always seem to get the dentist that is aggresive in their manner or they have left me in a living hell with infection after infection.My denture has 5 teeth at the front and 1 molar far left. For nearly two years my dentist still says it’s fine and I’ve had to be seen at my hospital .Am I a candicate for another bridge as I just can’t deal with this anymore.I suffer from fibromyalgia and I don’t think the medication I have been on for the best part of 20yrs has helped my own teeth at all!
