Are there any other discrete braces options to Invisalign, as I was told I cannot have this treatment?

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010
Q.
Hi there, i really need to straighten my teeth, however i dread to have conventional braces as I am at an age which i think it will look embarassing! I work in a senior role which involves presentations and I am becoming very conscious about my teeth, I had braces when i was young but my dentist did not do a good job! I am thinking invisalign, i did visit one dentist and he said it would not be possible with my teeth without a good reason. Waht do i do, are there any other discreet options. Help please. Thanks,

Can invisalign help shift the gaps from tooth extractions?

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010
Q.
Dear Dr Moore The midline of my upper teeth is shifted to the right side due to a tooth extraction. It looks awful. I wonder if invisalign could be used to move them back in their place or just correct them so it would not be so visible. Many thanks for your advise in advance.,

What would be the cost of Invisalign?

Friday, March 12th, 2010
Q.
Hi Dr Caplan I have been looking at the invisable brace. I haven’t been for a consultation yet as i have always been a little embarrased of my teeth. About 9 or 10 years ago i had a fixed brace, when this was removed i had perfectly straight teeth. I was given a different type of brace that rested on the roof of my mouth. Unfortunatly, i sounded like i had a lisp and being a child i stopped wearing it during the dsay and eventually my teeth moved. My bottom teeth don’t bother me but my top teeth do. The two front teeth have protruded out of the alignment. Would it be possible to repair this using the invisable brace?? Do you know roughly how much it would be and if you can via monthly direct debits. Thanks for your time Rebecca,

Is Invisalign reason for pain in jaw?

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I got braces about 5 years ago and had them removed like 2 years ago. Before treatment i had to get 4 teeth removed, the 1st bicuspids. I guess my mouth is too small for my teeth. Since i had my braces removed my top front teeth have been shifting and my bite has changed as well. What I hate the most is the front teeth because they’re moving back to how they were before, like a V shape sicking out. (I used to suck my thumb as a child) So i decided to see another orthodontist since mine couldn’t really help me and just told me to press on my front teeth while watching t.v.! I just started treatment with the new orthodontist and he recommended invisalign for my top teeth and put in one of those glued on retainers on my bottom front teeth so they wont shift anymore. ( they’re pretty straight) I’ve only been wearing the invisalign tray for 3 days now but i notice my jaw is in pain on the right side. Is it because of the invisalign??? I don’t want the discomfort to get worse. Also, i dont know if this is an issue, when i had my impressions done for the invisalign, he also shaved between a couple of teeth in the front so that there would be more room for my teeth to move. So during the few weeks that I had to wait until i started my treatment, I felt my teeth and bite shift slightly since he shaved them and made room. So now when i’m wearing the invisalign its changing my top teeth to fit what it WAS a few weeks ago, And the bite on my bottom teeth are different since they started to shift. Is this an issue??? I hate that i’ve had to go to another orthodontist and pay alot more money for more treatment ( 6 months ). I also apparently have 5 wisdom teeth that have not been removed. This new orthodontist did not say anything about removing them. Would my wisdom teeth be causing my teeth to shift more? should i get them removed ASAP? or will i end up having to get even MORE treatment in the future once they’re out? I’m sorry for the long e-mail, i just need some advice. THANK YOU,

Can I get braces wihout the use of train track braces?

Friday, February 12th, 2010
Q.
Im almost 21years old and my top front 4 teeth stick out further than the rest. MY dentist told me that I could have braces when I was younger but said it would be purely for cosmetic reasons and would be quite painful. For that reason I never had them, something I deeply regret. Is there any way of making my teeth look ‘normal’ without the train track braces as I feel im too old for them now and it would not suit for my line of work. I would really be greatful for your response. Many thanks.,
