Question 1

hey
i am having invisalign braces & before i had no prob with pronouncing s but now i am having a lisp with and without the braces.how can i fix that?

Accepted Answer

Be patient: It is very common for the speech to be affected during active Invisalign treatment.  Pronouncing words that begin with the letter "S is the most common complaint. It will improve as the teeth move into alignment. Always make sure that your dentist is aware so that he/she can give you the right solution. Good luck.

Question 2

i am just wondering are invisalign braces worth it?

Accepted Answer

Definitely !: The newest developments of invisalign has resulted in achieving great outcomes in moderately difficult cases! consult with a general dentist or orthodontist who can give you objective information.

Question 3

which is quicker: invisalign or metal braces (etc.)?

Accepted Answer

Apples and oranges: As braces are on average more than 90% effective, and clear aligners are on average 41% effective, that's more important than length of treatment.  In other words a qualified orthodontist can produce better treatment in less time using fixed rather than removable appliances.  If clear aligners were so good wouldn't orthodontic specialists have abandoned  braces years ago?  Braces are better.

Question 4

any suggestions on which is better: braces or invisalign?

Accepted Answer

Go to website..: I've done many invisalign cases over the last 11 years, but go to www.Invisalign.Com to see cases that may be close to your present teeth position!

Question 5

i haven't been wearing my invisalign "braces". what could happen?

Accepted Answer

Teeth can shift: Your teeth can shift, aligners won't fit correctly, new impressions will need to be taken, treatment will be prolonged, and orthodontist may charge an additional fee for time and materials since you were not compliant.

Question 6

invisalign or braces, which is better for teens?

Accepted Answer

Invisalign or braces: Each has its place depending upon the individual circumstances of the case. The ability of the orthodontist performing the service is more important than the technique used. Find the best orthodontist you can and discuss your treatment options.

Question 7

are there any other safe ways to close gaps without braces or invisalign?

Accepted Answer

Cosmetic dentistry: It's also possible to fix gaps cosmetically through the use of dental bonding or dental veneers, such as Lumineers.

Question 8

wanted to know if i can eat icecream and candy with invisalign braces on?

Accepted Answer

Can't eat anything: No eating while wearing your aligners. Only water if you must. The aligners are not strong enough to withstand cheewing forces, and sugar caught underneath them will feed the bacteria for hours, resulting in several cavities.

Question 9

wanted to know if i can get invisalign instead of braces if i have a overbite?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: But there is no clear cut answer to your question. It depends on the severity of your malocclusion and the treatment preferences of your orthodontist. Seek a consultation with a local orthodontist (who can actually examine you) for guidance as to what might work best in your situation.

Question 10

can you tell me docs, is invisalign better in certain cases than metal braces?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If you want improvement of tooth positions and refuse to wear braces or standard removable appliances, invisalign type treatment is better as there's not much else you can do!
