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?

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.

How can I close gaps in my smile?

Tuesday, March 1st, 2011
Q.

As a child my dentist extracted several teeth leaving me with large gaps which I hate. As I get older I’m finding my confidence is getting worse and am desperate to do something. I have thought about invisalign but don’t know how ling the treatment would take. I did buy some teeth bands on the Internet and if I wear one all night it does close the gap in my front teeth. But when I take it off the gap opens again in minutes. I’ve considered knocking my teeth out and having dentures. I feel that low. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
