Dentists are giving me different verdicts about Invisalign, but which one is true?

Monday, August 2nd, 2010
Q.
Dear Dr Andrew, could you please advise regarding invisalign. I have been to 2 dentists regarding that. the first dentist showed me cases where upper and lower teeth when together showed a huge gap (where you can put several pensils in there) and how imvisalign completely corrected that to straight teeth. My teeth have a very minor gap. another dentist said that invisalign will straighten the teeth only by 60%. but the first dentist showed 100% straightening. which one is true? 100% or 60%?,
A.
You should be able to get a re… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Can I have invisalign braces if I have dental veneers?

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010
Q.
Following an unsuccessful attempt to straighten my upper front teeth by having a brace fitted, I was persuaded by my dentist to have veneers. This seemed to work at first, but a couple of years later, one of the front teeth seems to have moved forward & I am unhappy with the result. Would it be possible to have invisalign braces with my existing veneers?,

If the veneers are sound it is… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Will the fact I’ve had gum disease and some recession prevent me from straightening my teeth?

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010
Q.
Hello, I’m 27 years old and have very healthy and white teeth with no fillings. I had braces when I was younger (15) but as I stopped wearing my retainer my teeth have since moved a bit and are not as straight as I would like. I was thinking about going for the invisalign treatment to re-straighten the teeth which have moved. However there is a problem – when I went to the dentist recently he said over the last 3 years I have suffered from some gum disease which has led to a small amount of bone loss on my two very back teeth (diagnosed from routine x-rays in a check up). I have also noticed a small amount of recession on two of my front teeth. Anyway, I’ve rectified the problems with my gums now (through hygienist visits and an electric toothbrush) and they are healthy and pink now. Will the fact I’ve had gum disease and some recession prevent me from straightening my teeth?,
A.
As long as the gum disease has… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
