I am unhappy with my Invisalign results and was wondering if the dentist should offer me the chance to get more impressions?

Tuesday, November 2nd, 2010
Q.
Hi, I’ve just come to the end of my invisalign treatment and haven’t achieved the results I was expecting. I had 15 aligners originally, then a further 9 for the upper teeth as the teeth didn’t move as predicted. My 2 front teeth still haven’t moved to the position I was hoping for. Should my dentist offer me the chance to get some more impressions made? And will I have to pay more money for this as I paid a lot of money for this treatment. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
A.

After two weeks of treatment my Invisalign braces feel loose, causing me a lisp. What should I do?

Tuesday, October 12th, 2010
Q.
hello…i have just started wearing invisalign braces and have now had them for 2 weeks and wondered if its normal for them to be loose. my bottom set fit fine but the top set seem to move causing me to spit and lisp…not very attractive! my top two teeth are slightly crossed and tend to slant backwards so wondered if this was the cause. its making me quite unhappy as i try not to speak too much as i know i’ll be speaking funny and its so obvious…i feel like i’m wearing badly fitting dentures!my sister got hers fitted a week after mine and hers fit snugly and she speaks fine…you would never know shes wearing them. hope you can answer this for me before i go back to see my dentist. thank you,

I have been having aligner treatment for some time now and am seriously fed up with it. What can I do?

Friday, October 1st, 2010
Q.
I began my aligner treatment 5 and a half months ago in April. Despite wearing the IA for 11 weeks and having been fitted with numerous clear aligners (7 at this stage) – my teeth are still not straight. At the beginning my dentist told me it should take 10-14 weeks. Although the length of time it is taking is a problem my main concern is that my dentist seems to have filed my teeth somewhat haphazardly and the teeth on the each side of my mouth are now different shapes and sizes than the opposite side. I am concerned that as i need more clear aligners he will have to file my teeth more and as i am so unhappy with how they look at present I am wary about letting him file anymore. I really wish I had not had this treatment, at least with this particular dentist. When I ask him questions he fobs me off with some rambling and treats me as if i am being a nuisance – I’m not, I have actually been very patient but now I am seriously fed up and feel like just giving up on the treatment altogether. Is there anything I can do or someone I can contact who can advise me what to do or how to handle my case or is there any type of compensation I can seek? Any advice would be much appreciated. PS I am having my treatment in Scotland.,

Q.
I have had braces about 10 years ago. Two teeth in the front have shifted not long after i removed my braces. I also have an overbite again.
