Q.

Hello,
I have two questions….
1/ I am 53yrs..Am I too old to have Invisalign ?
2/ I did have a brace in my 30’s which straightened my teeth to a certain level but I still have two veneers to make my teeth look as even as possible. If I did have treatment, would these veneers to be removed during treatment?
Thanks

What can done to fix my relapsed teeth?

Thursday, March 3rd, 2011
Q.

Dear all,
I am a 35 year old woman and I just took off 6months braces to close up a huge gap between my 2 front teeth (incisors), which i wore for a year. I took them off on the 13th of July 2010 and i am not happy with the result. At present i have 3 issues – One – I didnt get the retainer on the day i took out the braces till 4days after and the gap started opening up, Two- my overbite size is increasing as i do not have proper retainers. three my mid line has shifted and 4 my lower jaw is shifting to the right on its own i am making a consious effort to hold it together. its been a month since i took off the braces and i am yet to have a permanent retainer. i have complained to him and his story keeps changing. i need to confirm if this is normal process. so i can address this issues i have with him properly. i basically didnt get the treatment i was expecting.

Also he didnt do an xray before we started the treatment is that normal

thanking you in Advance.

Should I have Invisalign treatment to shrink the gap where I had a tooth extracted?

Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011
Q.

I had gone through orthodotics treatment when I was around 14-16 years old, and at that time, my 4 pre-molars were removed.

Currently, I am 33 years old, and I recently got my lower left lateral incisor removed due to infection. My dentist suggest me considering invisalign treatment.

Please can you advise if this is an appropriate treatment for me (as i have orthodotic treatment before.)

Thank you very much.

Would Invisalign work on front teeth that lean inwards where teeth either side stick out?

Tuesday, February 15th, 2011
Q.

Hi Dr Hughes, my two front teeth lean inward and the teeth either side stick out. Sounds awful doesn’t it! Do you think that Invisalign could correct this? I had orthodontic work as a child but it didn’t work very well! I am 37.
With many thanks for your help.
Kind regards

I am due to have 4 teeth removed for orthodontics, is this excessive?

Friday, February 11th, 2011
Q.

I have had separate assessments for Invisalign and Incognito lingual braces to correct an overlap of upper front teeth and misalignment of lower front teeth. Both assessments have come back saying that four teeth need to be extracted – one in each of the four ‘corners’ of the mouth – prior to fitting of the appliance in order for it to work. This seems rather drastic and I cannot imagine that the gaps left by the removal of such large teeth will be closed by the realigned teeth, although the orthodontist who did the Incognito assessment has said they there will be no gaps at the end of treatment (which could take up to 22 months). I’ve booked to have the extractions done next wek, but I’m really still not very happy about having perfectly healthly teeth removed for this purpose. Does it sound right that I have to take such drastic action to get the smile that I want? (I’m in my 40s).
