Invisalign: Stories

i cant believe it took me so long to find that im not the only one who had issues, i was aa young teen and got them and im losing teeth left and right now at 21, illl have dentures by 25 according to my dentist now

I had Invisalign for 2 years and my teeth were still not straight. Then I had cracked teeth and lost 4 teeth: 3 molars and #9 in the front. I have had to have two implants and two more still to go. Anyone know of a good Invisalign lawyer? Please call me at +1-858-344-0156

Yes...But Cheryl Moin may be interested in a class action if there are enough clients that have been misled and harmed. I forwarded this link to her for her info.

Is yours against your dentist? Thank you for the recommendation.

no...he is not interested in filing a class action at this point...he is still dealing with mine....You can contact Cheryl Moin in NYC and she may have interest.

My attorney is Joel Kotick...he can be reached at: kit@jmkotick.com.....

The product is not fit for purpose, after £3000 and 17 braces my teeth are still overlapped and not straight !

I am also looking in taking legal action against invisilign .

I am over 50 and am on tray 5. No problems and my teeth are doing great. Age is not the problem, may be just health status. I am going to an orthodontist. I too believe general dentist are the problem. Lack of training.

I do not know of any mal practice attorneys in California. I have been trying to get a class action suit going against Invisalign and need more people to convince an attorney. Perhaps you can email Cheryl Moin in NY...the firm is Moin....? I found her online and she is aware of my plight. Maybe she can refer you to an associate in California. Maybe we can convince her to start-up the class action suit.

Consulted with orthodontist in '07, who successfully treated me 30 years prior with standard bracing. The goal was to straighten lower frontals. Was convinced to go with Invisalign, with good prognosis and anticipated 10 month treatment, even though I am Class 3. After more than 2 years, upper and lower frontals were very loose and I was in danger of losing them. Changed orthodontist, and immediately put into bands. Now three years into treatment, it is possibly too late. I am now scheduled for one or possibly two implants, gum grafting and bone replacement. It's been a nightmare. I am now considering a malpractice attorney to cover high costs of specialty intervention. As a Class 3, I should have never been recommended Invisalign. Does anyone have recommendation for good malpractice attorney in Southern California? Particularly one with Invisalign related experience.

Over 3 yrs now since I started Invisalign treatment for one crooked bottom tooth which if not corrected,I feared I might lose.Ha----what a joke----I now have all crooked teeth - top and bottom, complete with spaces. I am so overwhelmed,I honestly don't know where to start.I am seriously looking for a good lawyer.

Invisalign should never been permitted to be performed by anyone other that orthodontists! General dentists take a course and think they know it all and do not. Invisalign should be sued. This is not something to take lightly as most general dentists do. Shame on them. Let's start a class action suit against Invisalign. Contact me to get going.

Personally I don't age had anything to do with your problem; your problem is with your choice of Invisalign Provider. I am in NYC and I am going to one of the top 10 Invisalign Providers in the World. At my free consultation, I had a full panoramic xray taken. The doctor sat down with me and went over the xray. While going over the xray, she discovered that I have a tooth with a shortened root (result of pressure from other teeth and family history of gum disease are the culprit). Not ONLY did she alter her schedule for re-aligning my teeth (she said we had to re-position this tooth slowly and carefully to avoid root failure and tooth loss), and ALSO contacted my general dentist, fowarded him a copy of my xray and discussed the problem so that he could also keep an eye on me. I am in my 30s and have relatively healthy teeth. Your potential problem could happen to anyone. To the over 50 crowd, I would say that you are MORE LIKELY to experience gum and tooth issues like mine as a result of "abuse over time", but that should not prevent you from exploring Invisalign. If you're in the NYC area, I'd be happy to recommend my AMAZING Invisalign Provider!

Dear Glumglenn I can empathize with you as I also have had the same experience as yourself. I would advise everyone to get a reputable orthodontists not a stupid dentist who has done a wee course in Invisalign. My treatment is also finished and besides loosing filling from fitting and removing the aligners - my teeth are a mess.

Dear starting over, Good luck. I wish I had never listend to my dentist. He just wanted the money and did not care about me. We are in the same boat I am afraid!

Speaking from experience, the reality is that orthodontists have expertise in moving teeth. A few courses in Invisalign and reliance on the Invisalign lab cannot prepare general dentists to properly diagnose and predict all types of tooth movement. I started Invisalign last year for an overjet of the front teeth. I asked detailed questions and the dentist (Premier Provider) insisted the movements would be minor and simple. After 8 months of treatment, my overjet was not fixed AND my bite was ruined as I could no longer close my top and bottom teeth. The dentist himself was shocked at how it turned out and he simply had no idea how to fix it. I had no choice but to start over with an orthodontist (who was able to explain some of the treatment errors and what was required to correct). I can't imagine why general dentitsts are allowed to offer this product in the first place. It places many unsuspecting individuals at risk of malpractice.
