My retainer has broken, can I get a replacement?

Thursday, August 25th, 2011
Q.

Mark, if an Essix retainer splits or is cut down, does that affect the effectiveness of maintaining the teeth positions? My Essix retainer has split quite badly now after several years and so feels a little loose as parts of the plastic on it are missing, my bite feels a bit off when i take it out now and it doesn’t feel as ‘tight’ as it were. I don’t have an orthodontist now to replace it as he is now retired but am nervous about my teeth moving.

I live in the London area close to you. How much approximately would you charge to make a replacement Essix for me if I saw you? Many thanks.

Q.

Hi Dr Hughes, my two front teeth lean inward and the teeth either side stick out. Sounds awful doesn’t it! Do you think that Invisalign could correct this? I had orthodontic work as a child but it didn’t work very well! I am 37.
With many thanks for your help.
Kind regards

Do I need my bottom teeth moved in order to align my upper teeth?

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010
Q.

Hi, my two front teeth misalign a little bit (less than 2mm). I went to see the dentist today and he said my case is qualified and would take about 6-8 weeks. However, if I were to have an inman aligner treatment, he will have to push the lower teeth back to have room. Therefore, the cost of the treatment is double from £995 per arch to total £2,200. I just would like to see your point if it’s always necessary that the dentish has to push the lower teeth first before pull the upper front teeth? I just don’t want to be over charged if there are alternative more affordable price that give the same result. Please kindly advice. Thank you.

A.
The dentist is quite right.
