How long until my teeth start shifting after I have my braces removed?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Everyones teeth unique, I have seen patients have a tooth move in as little as a couple days.  I have also had patients who have forgot to come in a get their retainer or miss their appointment come in a month later and everything looks perfect and the retainer still fits.  Teeth with rotations are the most unstable and seem to move the fastest.  The good news is that even if a tooth moves a little the retainer will bring it back into place in the majority of cases.  You should be fine, if not I am sure the orthodontist will make things right.  All the best

Can Invisalign Lead to Tooth Breakage?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
I cannot see how Invisalign could cause your teeth and restorations to start breaking down.  In fact because the aligners protect the surface of your teeth while wearing them they probably help longevity of dental work.

I feel that my upper teeth are very arched when I'm looking for a lot wider of a smile. Would Invisalign help? (Photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
I always like my patients to have very realistic expectations of what they are going to acheive with their orthodontic treatment.  "Underpromise and overdeliver".  Based on your excellent photos I do bevieve your upper teeth are all a bit tipped inward (towards the tongue).  Invisalign will do an excellent job of tipping them out a bit.  You said that you are looking for "a lot wider".  Realistically your bicuspids (the widest point in your arch) will likely only be expanded about 4mm at the most.  This will help and decrease the dark corridors in the corners of your smile but I am not sore its going to give you the Whitney Houston- wall to wall teeth across your smile that you may be looking for.  Hope that helps.  Just dont want to see someone start treatment and be disappointed with outcome.

Why did my lips and chin changed when I got my braces on? Why do I feel like I'm forced to close my mouth?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
When you first get braces your lips will be more protrusive.  You will have to actually use lip muscles to get your mouth closed over your braces.  This is especially true if you have protrusive or flared upper teeth or an overbite.  This will get better within a week and your lips wont have to work so hard to get over your braces and the braces will not feel like they are sticking out so far.  hang in there.

I had Invisalign to correct a crossbite. I hate my smile. (Photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
So your tooth alignment looks really good from what I can see.  As far as not liking the lack of "tooth display at rest", this is not really a tooth alignment issue.  The reason you dont show a lot of tooth when you open your mouth is you have a slightly long upper lip.  This requires a surgical correction to either raise the upper lip line or lower the upper jaw line in the front.  A fairly expensive proposition.  See an oral surgeon to evaluate your options.

Is it safe to have braces for the second time?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
You shouldnt have any problems going through orthodontic treatment a second time.  Usually assuming your bite is fitting properly your retreatment is a very short 6-8 months of braces.  Invisalign is often an excellent choice for retreatment if you prefer not wearing braces.

Can I use braces if I have a missing tooth but I haven't pulled it off? (Photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Yes you can still do braces with a missing tooth.  I am guessing based on the photo that you actually have a missing incisor and a baby canine is still in place.  You actually have a couple options with braces to deal with the problem of the missing teeth.  I would not pull the baby tooth out until you have visited with an orthodontist.  Good luck.

Is it common for dental nurses to take care of all the Invisalign procedures?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
In most orthodontic offices the orthodontist does not see every patient at every visit.  This is especially true with invisalign.  Most of the work of an orthodontist using invisalign is done behind the scenes.  The orthodontist designs your smile and digitally aligns your teeth and bite on the computer.  He/She decides the rate, direction and amount of tooth movement.  He also decides the way the teeth will fit together in the end.  All this is done on computer before you even received your first aligner.  Once aligners are delivered he will likely check in on the progress of your case.  If things are progressing ideally he doesn't even need to check on your treatment.  A well trained assistant should be the one giving all instructions, taking impressions, putting on attachments and making sure aligners are fitting well and you are not having problems with your treatment progress.  Do not forget you are paying for results not necessarily for the orthodontist to see you at every visit.  Trust the process. If you are not happy with results or are having problems I wouldn't hesitate to communicate this.

Could Six Month Smile work for me? And if, so how much would it cost in the Denver metro area? (Photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
I would strongly encourage you to see an orthodontist (not a dentist who does braces) for an evaluation.  It looks to me that you are an excellent candidate for invisalign or a very short time in braces.  I would suspect that most orthodontists can finish you in around six months.  There is no magic in those advertising "six month smiles" as far as being able to treat a case faster than other Orthodontists who dont advertise "Six month Smiles"  If your problem requires bite correction as well tooth straightening your problem will take longer.  If your goal is "cosmetic" alignment only and speed is your focus make sure to communicate that at your exam. Good luck.

I have a cross bite. Can this be corrected with Braces or do I need jaw surgery? (photos)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Many crossbites can still be corrected after growth is complete.  It depends on the severity and  if the crossbite is dental or skeletal.  Sometimes an orthodontic correction of a crossbite is less stable than a surgical correction.  I would suggest visiting with an Orthodontist. (not a dentist who does braces)  Best of luck
