I had lost two molars a few years ago , I can't get an implant now because the doctor said there isn't any space as the teeth as moved . I have an overbite with crooked teeth . So I wanted to know if there is still hope in getting my teeth fixed even after all this .
I had Invisalign treatment done to straighten my teeth a few years ago. When finished, I chose to have a wire glued to the back of my lower teeth to keep it in place, and then wear Essix retainers for my upper teeth during the nighttime. Afterwards, I found out that my lower two incisor molars were wearing down to the roots due to my grinding at night. I was advised to have a lower night guard made, but I still need to wear upper retainers to keep my teeth aligned. Would it be ok to wear both?
My Invisalign slightly pops up on my back molar tooth and I just got it today. Could this be a gum problem or something. Even if I try to push it down or hold it down with my teeth, it still pops up on that one tooth. What could be the cause of the problem and how can I fix it?
I am considering getting invisalign with 4 pre molars extracted to reduce my protruding mouth. If I decide to go through with it I will only have 24 teeth in my mouth. Is it ok to have such a low amount of teeth for eating etc? Will I get future jaw/teeth problems? My dentist said there's always a risk of some jaw issues etc when it comes to orthodontics which didn't really help my question. My clin check pics show the before/after and after arches pics look like the same size as an adolescence.
My aligners just came in for my Invisalign treatment and I also just developed a tooth infection in a lower back molar that will require a root canal ASAP, before I was even able to start Invisalign. What can I expect now? Will I have to get new aligners? How expensive should I expect adjustments to be? Do I have other options?
I got veneers done on my top and bottom teeth ( and big molars) but I have a major over bite, which enhances my horse teeth. Can I push back my front teeth with invisalign and re do veeners ?
Do I need braces or invisalign can work for me without extractions? 2 of the Orthos have suggested that ill be needing extractions in any case (either pre molars or the second molars). I dont want any extractions. Is it possible in my case? The Orthos when asked are not even sure about my facial aesthetics, my concerns like having a flat face after the extractions. But I would end up liking my smile and myself according to them. I'm not satisfied with their answers. Need your help
I'm supposed to put my 3rd set of trays in tonight and when I got them out of the package I noticed what looks to be a possible defect. There is an extra line of plastic on the very back molar space. I'm not sure if it's a defect or if it's supposed to be there for some reason? It wasn't on any of my other trays and I'm worried that it's going to keep my tray from fitting properly. I do plan on calling my dentist but the office isn't open today. Can anyone help?
