If you have a overbite and your lips start to grow would invisalign help straighten your teeth and help your lips get back to the normal size. thank you

Hi, Could you please provide me with more details as regards to invisilign/6 month brace treatment. Will the consultation be free of charge? What arethe prices of each treatment? Thanks, Manpreet

i need your help i have really pokey out teeth like micky mouse , i dont want bracs as they look like train tracks across my face i need something that can make me look beaitufl ? can you help !

Invisalign is a great alternative to fixed braces.

HI!,,, I have a couple a questions. the first one is when u aply almost invinsible braces on is it for all the customers? My second question is will it hurt when they apply the braces,, if yes what can you do to fix that problem. I have more questions ??? How long will the procedure take to applly to the patient. Do u need all your teeth to be taken out and newed for the braces to be put on ,,,, ? And if u play any sports that wiill need mouth guards to be put on what will u do?

Invisible braces don’t really hurt but they feel tight for a few days, most patients are suitable for them but you need a full assessment first

hello I have been wearing my invisalign for about 2 weeks now and i just have a quick question about invisalign and eating. I always take my invisalign out when i am eating, but sometime do not get the chance to brush my teeth before i put it back in. SHould i always brush my teeth? and how long after the meal is over is it ok to put the aligner back in? thank you

it is much better to brush and floss your teeth before the aligners go back in.

we are born all different, every person has their little issue about their bodies or face, now since i was a teenager my only dream was to have straight teeth, it is very important because when you talk and you see people they look at your teeth you just loose the idea of talking trying your best to not be the centre of attention when it comes to loud laghing so is it possible to have my teeth straight get rid of this gaps?

Invisalign treatment is very often utilised to close gaps. I would recommend a full clinical and radiographical consultation from a reputable Invisalign Doctor in your area to assess your teeth and suitability for treatment. Best of luck with your treatment.

I would like to have my teeth straightened without wires but I also have very, very sticky out front teeth. can i find any kind of treatment for this using invisalign, or is it better if i look for another option? if this is the case what brace do you think i could have? are there any braces that are fixed to your teeth that are also invisible? thanks

Hi there! Retracting your teeth back in place should not be a problem with Invisalign, but an assessment if you are a good candidate for this has to be done first. We do offer free Invisalign assessments in our practice, so if you are not too far away it would be good to evaluate you. Hope that helps

My 12 year old daughter is currently undergoing orthodontic treatment firstly to bring her bottom jaw forward and then eventually to straighten her teeth. She has a twin block appliance currently which causes her immense pain and discomfort. Do you think it is worth us exploring invisalign for her as a less painful approach.

Hi I don’t feel invisalign would be appropriate. There could be alternative treatment options, but I would require to examine to give a definitive answer.

Hi Dr, I just have a single tooth out of place (upper tooth) what would the estimated cost and time of treatment be?

If it is a simple case of alligning one tooth then, the cost would be from £1500.

Hello can child or rather young teenagers have invisalign for their teeth? my son is 14 and he is really self concious about his front two teeth, which stick out slightly. I don’t think it would take much to move the tea into place, but I really want to get him treatment sooner rather than later, so he won’t suffer any taunts. thank you for your time doctor

can l get invisalign if l m 13

what do you have to do to become an accredited invisalign dentist? i am looking at having the treatment but want to be sure that im not just goin to some cowboy orthodontist. also does the invisalign brace come with a retainer for afterwards? thanks

Hi , it is really down to experience. Invisalign provide a weekend course for accredited dentists. I personally feel that the dentist should have experience in all types of teeth straightening methods to be able to discuss the best option for the patient.

Do orthodontists and cosmetic dentists provide exactly the same service as far as Invisalign is concerned? How can I best assess different providers against each other? Many thanks!

I think the important things are 1. experience 2. does the dentist provide various cosmetic braces as well as conventional braces to provide all the options to the patient 3. how many invisable braces cases has the dentist done. Can they provide examples of there cases.

I am trying to decide whether to go ahead with Invisalign and which dentist to choose. Could you tell me a bit about elite/prefrered providers? what does this status mean and what does one have to do to attain it? thanks

My advice would to find a dentist who has knowledge in all systems and then is able to offer you the merits of all systems so you are informed about the advantages and disadvantages of each system.

Hi I have a very slight open bite at the front of my teeth the back join when i bite but when i talk sometimes you can see my tounge especially when i say “s” so it looks like a subtle lisp which is causin me confidence dificulties is invisilign something that could help this ? Thanks

I feel damon braces may be a better option, if you have an open bite.

how many months will invisalign correct the alignment of the teeth? and how much will it usually cost?

Hi there! It depends on how much alignment we have to do for your teeth. The biggest the movement that is necessary to be done to straighten your teeth, the longest it will take. That is why I cannot answer your question before I can have a look at your teeth. Average treatment time is 12-18 months. Hope that helps

Hello Dr Thorne, I hope you can help. I am looking to have my teeth in good order before my birthday, which is in October and just wondered whether it would be plausible for me to have straight teeth in this time? I have a few teeth that over lap on both my top and bottom teeth near the front of my mouth and I have never really been happy with them. It’s my big 30 this year and I was hoping for once to have a decent smile to surprise all my friends with. Do you think Invisalign can do this for me? thank you for your time and assistance

Hi It depends on how far the teeth have to move to be straight. If you have Invisalign then even if the teeth are not fully straight by your birthday your smile will be better…but I’d get a consultation and treatment started as soon as possible! Adam

Hi there, I am looking into getting Lingual braces. It is just one tooth at the front (on the top set) that crosses the other by about 3/4mm. I wondered if you had a rough guide of how much time it could take to move the tooth and also the price? Or maybe there is another alternative brace that could work quicker for me. (I really would like one that cannot be seen or barely been seen as I am 22) many thanks

We find Invisalign braces to work well, they are practically invisible and can be removed to clean your teeth and for eating. I am in the middle of a course of treatment with Invisalign and finding the whole experience very easy- perhaps they might work well for you?

I have two slightly overlapping top central front teeth that i’d like to get an invisi-align for. At over £2.5k in the UK it’s too much of a luxury to treat myself to. Do you have any idea please how much it would cost in Romania? Am working in Brasov and around Transylvania this summer, and wondered if there was a decent dentist operating there that you could recommend to me. An email would be really helpful. Am there later July and August. Be great to set them straight again! I also need my teeth whitening and have a chip on another front tooth, the one next to the canine which needs to be added to with a little cap. Many Thanks,

i’m sorry i have no idea of costs in Romania, it is an expensive treatment so don’t expect it to be a lot cheaper if available at all.

Hello Ms Sepehrara. I have been considering braces for a long time and think I am going to opt for a more cosmetically viable option. I’m happy if the brace is either quicker or looks better than a generic set of train tracks. I have a tooth that sits higher up on the gum line than the rest of my teeth and as such I assume that means I cant have Invisalign. I am miffed as I like the look of this treatment. It is only this one problem on my top jaw that needs sorting hence why I have have been in a rush to fix it. Is there a particular fixed brace you would recommend to solve such a small problem? thanks

Hi unfortunately it is impossible for me to say which type of treatment is appropriate with carrying out a radiographic and clinical examination. I am sure there is an appropriate treatment, but you would require a consultation.

Hello, I feel as though I need braces. I am 17 years old and I also want to know if I have to pay for them. I havent been to see a denstist for a very long time and I would like to make an appointment but I dont know where and when and I want to get them sorted before I am 18. Everyone in my family has had braces and I havent and now they all have perfect teeth and I want a confident smile. Thankyou…

Hi I would recommend you have a consultation with a dentist experienced in different forms of teeth straightening , and discuss what your options are. Unfortunately it is impossible for me to say what is appropriate without examining your mouth.

Hi., I am nineteen years old. I have an overjet and I need a way to fix this without extractions. I have moderate crowning on the top and I have spaces between my bottom, front teeth. I can tell, by looking, that my jaw is underdeveloped. Do you think Invisalign would work for me? I am desperate. I feel absolutely hideous and I long for the day that I can feel as beautiful as other women do. Help!

Invisalign works well for lots of cases and might work for you. If you’d like to book in for an assessment at my clinic in Essex we can offer you a free consultation to see if you’re suitable please call 08443 87 87 88

Hi I have recently invested in invisalign but it appears I am having an allergic reaction to them I am unable to wear the aligner due to having an almost immediate burning sensation in my throat and a production of thick phlegm. Is there any solution to this ?I have waited for the day to get my teeth sorted after an injury to my jaw but now I am unable to use the treatment. Thanks

Hi It could be possible you have an allergic response to the aligners – do you suffer from other allergies? It could also be wearing something in your mouth feels uncomfortable initially. Hopefully it is the latter but I wold cease to wear the aligners and contact you dentist immediately to discuss this with you and Invisalign. Good luck Adam

hello I’ve been reading up on invsialign and im a bit unsure about this aspect of it “you change the aligners every two weeks” does that mean you have to go back to your dentist every two weeks or do you get given the full batch and then you change them at home. If this is the case do you still need to go to the dentist and if yes how often? thank you dr Patel

Normally the dentist sees you every 6 weeks so gives you 3 aligners each time.

Hello, I am moving to Florida in three months for work and I currently have invisalign braces. I have spoken to my orthodontist about this as I still need treatment whilst I am over there. He said about giving me all the details etc of the treatment and the aimed result etc to give to someone over in Florida but will I have to pay more? I wanted my orthodontist to give me the rest of the braces so I could take them all and perhaps see an orthodontist over there just to check progress but now I am confused. what do you think is the best course of action?

You would have to pay to be seen by a different dentist. If you wanted to move to a different dentist, I would recommend to speak to your current orthodontist and see what he suggests.

Hello, I feel that my front teeth are crooked and this leaves me self-conscious when I meet new people. I went to my new dentist as I have moved and she said that my teeth were not bad enough to get any treatment on the NHS. I don’t mind this but if I am to go private do you think Invisalign is the way to go? three teeth are crooked at the front and side. Thanks

Invisalign is great treatment you need to have a orthodontic consultation so all the options available to you find a dentist who offers more than one type of brace so you have more choice.

Hi, I’m 21 and until recently had a baby tooth that was removed by my dentist. The adult tooth that was to replace this overlapped it slightly and did not come down fully and as such I’ve been left with a gap. I’ve been getting some conflicting advice from 2 dentists. One suggested a brace, possibly invisalign while another has said an inman aligner will work. Any advice will be much appreciated.

I would need to see you to give you the best options I can not advise you over email.

Do you need to have your teeth taken out to have invisalign braces? I have exceptionally crowded teeth, and I also have a fear of the dentist-both go really well together hand in hand! So i just wanted to know what is the likelihood of me needing to have tooth extractions? Are there any braces available that can treat crowded teeth but without the need to have any taken out? thank you

Teeth extractions are not necessary with Invisalign, but it depends on which dentist you see

I have crooked teeth and a few gaps on the top of my mouth that I would like to get straightened.I haven’t found a dental practice yet to get the treatment because I am a bit worried about the cost. Another issue is that I grind my teeth in my sleep and when I am stressed. Not all the time but quite regularly and i wondered if that would damage the braces?

Griding the teeth can be reduced with Invisalign braces; you may grind through a few of them as well, but usually after 2 weeks you move to the next set

hi there I think I would like to have invisalign to straighten out my bottom teeth as well as my top teeth, is this possible, or will it feel to strange and bulky? I would like to have a brace that you can’t see, and obviously invisalign is a good choice for that. The main problem with both my top and bottom teeth is the crowding, is invisalign a good treatment option for this?

Invisalign is a good alternative to metal braces and being only 0.3mm thick they are not obtrusive

hello Is it likely that I will be able to have treatment with the inman aligner for my bottom front teeth. My top aren’t that bad to be honest, but my bottom are just becoming a breeding ground for bad breath and bad teeth. I can’t get inbetween some of them even with floss, so you can imagine what’s going on down there! you are a dentist after all! I’m not sure whether the inman aligner would be the the best practice, but if you could recommend a brace that could do the job i’d be really grateful. thank you

Hi, the Inman aligner works really well in crowded front teeth, but it depends on the severity of the crowding and how many teeth are affected. I would recommend a consultation with a dentist of your choice to see what options are available for you.

I am thinking about going ahead with Invisalign treatment for a few minor problems that are slowly getting worse. I have had a consultation with a couple of dentists and I happy to go ahead with them. A problem that I hadn’t thought of during the consultations is that I do under water swimming. Would the water have a detrimental affect on the braces and also would they possible come out whilst I was swimming? Do you think it would be best to take them out every time I go swimming?

Hi No the swimming underwater will be absolutely fine with them in, nor will they come out as they are very snug fitting to cause the required tooth movement. Adam

My orthodontist is hesitant about going ahead with my treatment for invisalign as it will take around two years – they have never had a treatment plan that long before. Do you think it would be a problem if I were to have invisalign for two years?

Without seeing you I cannot advise. Many orthodontic treatments can take 2 years. If you want something quicker then a fixed appliance may be the best choice Dr R Kumar

I have been told my teeth are not suitable for Invisalign by one dentist and another has told me I am. Also one quoted me only 2 grand and another nearly 4. I’m a bit confused as to what is going on. Can you help?

Hi, Difficult to say whether you are suitable for Invisalign without seeing you. Some dentists have completed a lot of cases and earned an ‘Platinum’ or ‘Platinum Elite’ status and therefore more comfortable with treating more complex cases. Regarding the costs – maybe they are running a promotion? I would recommend finding a platinum or platinum elite Invisalign dentist for another opinion. Good luck

I feel that my teeth are in their perfect position, but I have another 3 aligners left to wear, do you think my dentist would be ok if I just wanted to stop now? Has that ever happened with you when youve been treating other patients? for them to feel content with the treatment already? thank you for your help

Yes of course, if you think that you are finished then the dentist will not mind

I have been looking for the best tpye of braces for me and would really like to have invsialing, but am not sure if they would be the braces for me. have two front teeth that cross over and then gaps in between some of my other top teeth and my bottom teeth are crowded. All in all it’s a big mess! can a person with my teeth problems be treated with invisalign? thanks for your time and I look forward to hearing your expert opinion on the matter, all the best.

Hello! It would be hard for me to say if Invisalign is suitable for you without haven’t seen you! Crowded and crossed over teeth though are treatable with Invisalign, and I would suggest you get assessed by an experienced Invisalign dentist to determine if you are a good candidate. The majority of the cases we treat are crowded cases. Hope that helps, Vasileia.

Could you please tell me what price I should expect for invisalign for a gap between my front teeth? it isn’t massive or anything and I don’t think it would require any massive movement, but I just have never liked it and now have the money to pay for a brace. What is the usual price for something like my condition? thank you for your time

Hi It depends on the size of the space and whether the teeth have space to move back to close this space, but Invisalign can start from £1995 for very simple cases. You could also consider bonding on these teeth to close the space or other types of brace. I would advise a consult to discuss all your treatment options. Good luck

Hello, I am 34 years old and have got crooked teeth.I have just become single again and the thought of meeting anyone really brings me down and my teeth are not helping my confidence. The teeth are on my upper jaw to the left hand side and some of my lower teeth are a bit crooked as well but not as bad. Do you think that Invisalign could help me? Would it work on my lower teeth as well?

Hello, Invisalign works equally well on the upper and on the lower teeth. Sometimes, in order to correct the upper teeth you must correct the lower teeth as well because of the bite. The only thing to determine is if you are a suitable candidate. Just make sure you seek an experienced Invisalign dentist to assess you. Best of luck

Good morning, I would like to ask if Invisilign treatment can damage my fillings. Also, when wearing retainers after the treatment, does it affect flossing or dental hygiene? Thank you

Hi there! Your fillings and any other restorations you may have on your teeth will be absolutely fine during and after Invisalign treatment. In fact, because this brace is so hygienic and removable, your oral hygiene will not be affected at all! As far as retainers are concerned, if you need a removable retainer then again oral hygiene is not an issue, if you need fixed ones then brushing is fine and little interdental brushes can be used instead of floss to clean your teeth between one another. I personally have fixed and I have no problems at all. Hope that helps

Hello Dr Patel I do not like the way I smile, as my jaws do not sit together and kinda go off in opposite direcitons. This makes my smile look really weird and I am not happy at all with my appearance. I hope that I can find treatment with invisalign, as obviously you cannot see it and being 28 im not too thrilled by the thought of visible braces. That being said if fixd braces were my only option I would have them Do you think it is possible to treat me with Invisalign? thank you

I would need to see you so I can assess your teeth and jaw and then we can come up with some suitable options for you

Would it be possible for me to have invisalign treatment again? I wore them a few years ago but then i lost my retainer, so they have slowly, but surely drifted back into position. I would really like to have them back to the way they were, but I just need a little bit of tooth movement, not to the degree required before. Is there a way to have fewer aligners and not have to pay for a full set and also then have a fixed retainer? I would appreciate any help you can give on this matter thank you

There are some other options outside of Invisalign for smaller corrections, you are welcome to come and see me for a free consultation so we can go through some options.

Hello, I have had a consultation with my dentist who has suggested that i have Invisalign treatment, but the express version. Price wise it is still expensive and I think that if the problem is quite minor I am wondering if there is a cheaper option available. I understand that I am paying for all the technology etc but I though perhaps the six month smiles treatment might be better and cheaper. What is your opinion Dr Ritan?

There are a number of options for less severe crooked teeth , call my practice and book a free consultation so we can go through some options

Hi, I am 21 years old, and have a gap in my front teeth and an underbite. I am looking to get treatment for this and was wondering how much roughly it would cost and can you have a payment plan to pay monthly or is it just one installment you pay? Thankyou.

dear enquirer, many thanks for contacting us. We offer Invisalign fron #2500 GBP and yes we do offer treatment plans. Would you like to come for an assessment?

I visited two invisalign providers. One said it would take 4-6 months the other said 18-24 months. That’s a huge difference. Not sure how to interpret the difference in time.

Hi I would consider a third opinion and see how much experience the two providers you have seen have. Good luck

How much dose invisalign cost for children ?

Hi It depends on the complexity, child’s age and how far the teeth have to be moved. Generally it would range from £2500 to £5000 overall

Hello, I am 14 years old and I would like to try invisilign. I have a gap in between my front teeth about 3-4mm wide. I was wondering how much this would cost and how long it would take? Thank you.

Hi It shouldn’t take too long to do this but you need to see whether the teeth can be brought together without further spaces around the sides opening up or if the teeth should be brought back and then the long term stability assessed. Prices usually start from about £2500 depending on the complexity. Good luck

I have a around 2 /3 teeth which need aligned . Is invisalign effective for this or can this be corrected in a less costly and easier way ?

It sounds like there is a lot of teeth that need moving. I would suggest to have an evaluation to discuss your expectations and the different types of orthodontic treatments available for your case. If it is convenient for you, we offer free assessments to determine which kind of brace would be best for you. Hope that helps

I work on a rotational basis in Africa and I’m only in UK for a maximum of 3 weeks. Is it possible to get hidden/invisible braces fitted in this time? If yes, Which is the fastest method to straighten teeth (the cost isn’t a problem)? I had braces when I was younger, but didn’t wear the plastic retainer as a result my top and bottom incisors have started to move and I would like to fix the problem before it gets any worse. Thank you.

We use a few different types of aligners some can be made very quickly so they could be made while you are here then we would give you a number of them and see you when your back. Invisalign takes about 6 weeks to make so it will not be viable.
