Should I Get Invisalign?

Thursday, January 24th, 2013
Q.

A very warm hello to you Dr. Moore,

I am in need of help regarding what would be the best possible treatment for a missing tooth/gap at the front of my teeth. I also need my teeth straightened and was thinking about Invisalign, are there any other treatments which would be best to straighten teeth? I guess I don’t want such a long treatment. I just have a missing tooth at the front and two others that were pulled but apart from that they rest are fine but need straightening.

I appreciate your time and help,

Thank you kindly, I look forward to reading your response.

My dentist offered me a ceramic brace but I feel a lingual brace would be better, what do you think?

Friday, December 7th, 2012
Q.

Hi I recently went to a consultation and i have and few very small gaps that i want to closed and i was also told that i have a slight over bite. She said that i need top and bottom braces. When asked if I could have the clear Invisalign brace she told me that they wouldn’t do a good job to correct my teeth but didn’t say why . She offered for me to have the ceramic brace, because of the fact I really don’t want them to show. But I think I would prefer the lingual braces instead, would they work just as good, and how much would they be also including the clear removable retainer ? Thank you for your time!

Is it really necessary for me to have an operation to fix my overbite?

Friday, December 7th, 2012
Q.

Hiya Dr Butt. I wondered if you would be able to advise me on an issue I have been suffering with? I have an overbite and slightly crooked teeth and have been told by an orthodontist that i need to have a jaw operation and a brace fitted to give the best result. I am not keen on this route and wondered if i was able to have veneers fitted instead, or veneers fitted and a invisalign brace as i am not keen on having the operation, i am 37 years old and am not confident with smiling and just want a quicker result.Any advice would be great a general idea of prices might be good too! thank you.

Do you think it is plausible to wear Invisalign for three weeks?

Friday, November 9th, 2012
Q.

Dear Dr Safeer Butt,
I had Inman Aligner treatment immediately followed by a bonded retainer fixed behind my upper front teeth.

14 months later, my two front teeth have moved slightly back towards their old position.

I visited my Cosmetic Dentist who assured me the bonding has not deteroriated or come loose, suggesting that the wire has not been sufficiently strong.

His proposed solution is for me to wear an Invisalign brace full time for three weeks, and then at night for double protection this is while I keep my fixed retainer in place.

Does this sound plasuible to you? I would have thought that the Invisalign brace would be pointless while the wire is in place, but at the same time I didn’t think I’d see any tooth movement either.

I’d appreciate your opinion.

Kind Regards,
Robert

Can invisalign aligners close 4mm gaps?

Friday, August 24th, 2012
Q.

Hi, I have just been to a dentist who said aligners (invisalign) could not close the gap between my front teeth. He said you can only actually move teeth by about 1mm with invisalign. Now my gap is quite big so I was not necessarily going to go with aligners anyway but can they close gaps of say 4mm? He said I would need full on braces, (I would go for Incognito) with 4 veneers or 6 veneers? To be fair he said the four veneers and braces could be less on the veneer side depending on the finish I wanted. I thought he was very good and made me feel relaxed but now not sure what to think? A separate dentist has said otherwise on invisalign and not sure who’s advice I should be listening to, what do you think?

Will my teeth move back into their original position if I don’t wear my Invisalign braces for 2 weeks?

Tuesday, July 10th, 2012
Q.

Hello, I have just had my bottom brace taken off and as was done with the top teeth, a fixed retainer was put in on the back of the front 4 teeth (on front 4 of top and of bottom teeth) and a mould was taken of the teeth for a plastic brace. My invisalign brace is supposed to arrive within 7 days but I am going on holiday for a week and am worried that the extra week of not wearing the invisalign will cause my teeth to move and the removable brace not to fit anymore. Will i have any problems with my removable retainer if i don’t wear it till 2 weeks after the fixed brackets were removed (keeping in mind that i have the fixed retainers on the back)??? Thank you for your advice.

I have protruding teeth, are there any quick treatments available to fix this problem?

Tuesday, June 26th, 2012
Q.

Hi, i am 32 years old and I have problem with two of my front upper teeth. One of them is tilted around 45 degree angle and the other is straight but while smiling coming out of my lips.
Some 5 years ago I made a visit to my local dentist and he suggests me for wire braces. I used those for about 4 months only and because of my frequent visits to other part of world I was unable to continue with the braces.
I want to make those teeth straight. Is there any quick and reliable treatment available to make my tooth straight?
One more question regarding my gums. For last one year I realized that my gums are moving upwards, resulting in naked tooth roots. Is there any treatment available to re-grow the gums.

Thanks.

I regret not having braces when I was 16 and now that I am an adult I’m not sure what is my best option. Orthodonics or veneers?

Wednesday, March 30th, 2011
Q.

When i was 16 i was offered a brace which i, stupidy, declined and now i am regretting it as when i recently went to the dentist to ask about having a bace put on she informed me that my teeth had set in place and were very strong so the likely-hood of my teeth staying in place when the brace was taken off was very small. I am very very concious of my teeth being crooked (even though i have been assured many times that they are “not that bad”) and rarely smile with my teeth on show. I have been looking into veneers as these seem like the best option for me. from what i have told you would you say that veneers would be the route i should take? and how much would i be looking at paying for them? Thank you.
