42 and looking to get Invisalign. I do have TMJ and they recommended having to pull 4 teeth. I already had wisdom teeth pulled when I was young! Please give any opinions based on pics! Thanks!! Ive had people say they think I need jaw surgery /braces :/
I have crowded and slightly protruding teeth. Which is the best treatment? My dentist has suggested extraction of 4 teeth, and braces for 2 years. I am 25, female. Regular visits to the dentist won't be possible as I travel a lot. Is it possible to get the teeth straightened without extraction and braces? Is invisalign the right treatment? Is it possible to achieve even slight improvement with just retainers?
I'd like a second opinion: I never had braces. Invisalign is the option suggested by both the doctor. I have crowding in the front and bottom teeth. Not sure if as an adult arch expansion will work ( the doctor said that she will place the expansion tool for 6 months )? On the other hand, I'm worried if IPR is a safe option.
I have an overjet of 8mm. I already had braces and 4 teeth extracted. What can I do to treat it now? I've had my 4 teeth removed (2 upper and 2 lower) and I had braces when I was 12 for almost 3 years. Now I'm 20 and I still have an overjet of 8mm. Should I get Invisalign? My dentist asked me to try Invisalign as my teeth are already extracted.
I have had braces a long time ago, however my top teeth still slightly protrude out. I was told previously that I would need extractions if I wanted my teeth perfect. Would it be possible to straighten this angle protrusion through IPR and Invisalign? Really would like to avoid a 4 tooth extraction. Also, how long would treatment time normally look like for this type of case? My teeth are and bite feel good but the angling of my teeth have always bothered me. Thanks
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 teeth are a complete mess as you can see from the photos! Crooked, Overbite and Overjet and ... :( I went to a couple of orthodontists and one said I would need extractions and another said I probably won't need them. Do I? I am relatively 'old' and thought invisalign would be a better fit for me but looking at how wonky my teeth are, will invisalign be able to do a good job on them or would I be a lot better off with traditional braces?
Hello, so I have a slightly loose tooth #8 (one of my center frontal tooth) due to a fall, would it be smart to get the tooth extracted and put in a dental implant before I get Invisalign? The pockets on number 9 seems to be a little deep as well, how should I go about fixing the top of my teeth which is slightly crooked? Thank you
Recently, I just had a consultation for Invisalign and the doctor told me that I need extraction as my teeth are crowded and big. I already pulled out 2 wisdom teeth one upper row and the second lower row. For me, I do not want to have any tooth pulled out. Do you thibk it is possible for my case?
