My 3rd Aligner Fitted My Teeth Poorly And I Can’t Help Thinking My Aligners Are Moving My Teeth Into The Wrong Positions. What Should I Do?

Thursday, January 23rd, 2014
Q.

I am on my last set of simpli5 aligners, when I had the 3rd aligner fitted I noticed it fitted my teeth very badly, I gradually noticed one of my front teeth started moving away from the brace, leaving a gap between the tooth and the brace, this gap remained in brace 4 and its still there in brace 5. My dentist has said if it doesn’t catch up and move forward, we will return to brace 3 then 4 then 5 again. How will the previous aligners fit if each brace has moved my teeth? I was also told at the consultation that I would have X-rays but I didn’t end up having any. He has also said I may need to purchase another set of aligners. I just can’t help thinking the aligners have got ahead of my teeth now they are in the wrong position altogether, surely when the dentist fitted each new set he would know if I was ready for the next aligner?

I Think I May Need Another Brace Fitted And I Wan’t To Know How Long It Will Take?

Tuesday, September 10th, 2013
Q.

Hello Mark, my problem is that I have been using braces back in India for proper alignment, yet I am not very satisfied with the work I received, I wonder if I need to have new braces fitted again to get proper alignment? If so how long will such treatment usually take? I’m asking as I’m leaving the UK soon and I’d like to know whether I’d have to stay longer if I got this treatment as I have also been using braces for about two years already. I hope you can help me with this. Thank You.

I’m 20 Years Old, Can You Recommend A Brace System For Me?

Monday, June 3rd, 2013
Q.

hello.
I would like to ask if you do braces?
I’am 20 years old and been thinking to apply them to my teeth from long time ago.
From my viewing my front teeth on one upper set is slightly awry, as well as the one next to it.
And on the lower set there also three teeth that doesnt seem to be in the right positions.
I would like to know how much would this cost, and for how long I would have to have them on my teeth.
Thank you.
