Hi there this is Dr Clifford Yudelman here from OptiSmile Advanced Dentistry and Implant Centre Sea Point Cape Town.Looking at these photos it's hard to say, depending on what they looked like before. We only use Invisalign 7 for very minor movements and most cases like yours we use Invisalign lite which is 14 aligners plus one set of refinement aligners only if necessary.I think you're done with the ortho at this point since it sounds like they can't order any more aligners now.Did you see the Clincheck on the computer before they approved it and did they scan you at the end to see if the teeth moved where they were supposed to? This is available on the iTero scanner from Invisalign and is called Treatment Progress Assessment.
Hi there this is Dr Clifford Yudelman here from OptiSmile Advanced Dentistry and Implant Centre Sea Point Cape Town.I know you posted this ages ago and your treatment is probably over now. Hopefully it went well, whichever way you decided to go. I have seen good results from Invisalign with similar cases.
Hi there this is Dr Clifford Yudelman here from OptiSmile Advanced Dentistry and Implant Centre Sea Point Cape Town. I think it would be a good idea to post a few photos of your front teeth.Before considering veneers you need to be sure that it's a last resort and not the only treatment that you are considering.Offhand I would say that if your wisdom teeth are impacted they could cause infection and problems, and if you have spent your money on veneers and can't afford to remove your wisdoms, that could be a problem. Please read the article below that I wrote about this.
Sorry to hear about your loss of confidence due to your smile being damaged. I only saw this question now and it looks like a few years ago that you asked. Hopefully by now you've been treated and it all worked out OK.
Hi there this is Dr Clifford Yudelman here from OptiSmile Advanced Dentistry and Implant Centre Sea Point Cape Town. Sorry to hear about your discolored teeth. Teeth whitening, in my experience has been a economical and effective way to lighten these types of stains. My suggestion would be to have custom trays made at a qualified dentist, not a beauty salon, and to whiten with gel every day. After several months you should have a good result. It may not whiten at all, or you may still see some remnants of it, but overall it is the best way to proceed. Do not go straight for drilling and filling or multiple veneers.Please see the link below for more information about teeth whitening.
