Worth It

Spent: $6,000 in North York, Canada

I have what would be described as "crowded teeth". I interact with clients everyday; therefore, I chose invisalign. So far, my experience have been okay.

I have been wearing invisalign for a little over 2 months. I am on my fifth set. However, the discomfort lasts longer with this set. Also, I have noticed that a few of my teeth are loose. For example, if I place a finger on one of my teeth and slightly move it back and forth, I can see movement. Please advise if this occurence is normal.

Updated on 29 Jan 2011:
Was Invisalign worth it? I would say so. I am happy with the result. Everyone knows of the difference. It is a bit inconvenient at times, specially on a night out (e.g., eating, drinking). Seeing what a difference the Invisalign is making, my husband is getting them also.

My Doctor: Name not provided

I do not recommend my Doctor because he is barely there at the office. He visits the office once a month. For the duration of my treatment (18months), I met with him 4 times (counted the initial meeting for consultation), despite the fact that I visited the office very 6 weeks. Everything was through the Dental Hygienist. In my opinion, you need to find an office where your Doctor is presence most of the time. It took 1 months a few emails and phone calls for me to find out that the movement in my teeth was normal.

Hello I have not started my treatment yet, but it seems like your Doctor should be helping you in any way he/she could. Have you tried contacting them to see what they have to say about how your feeling or about your teeth? I hope all works out for you. You might have to change Doctors. How often do you go in to see them?

The looseness of your teeth is medically called "mobility" and is divided into 3 classes. Class I = 1mm of movement, Class II=2mm, and Class III=3mm. Class I mobility is completely normal with orthodontic movement, because your teeth move by resorbing bond around the root in front of the tooth, and filling bone in behind. This is why it is so important to wear a retainer after treatment.

Yes this is normal. Your teeths are loose so they can realign to their final possition. Keep the trays as long as you can. At the end of the treatment you will need to wear retainers so new bones can grow back around your new possisioned teeth's roots. Good luck!!!

Can someone recommend an Elite or Premier invisalign orthodontist in Mississauga/Brampton area?
