Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Braces question?! Does your midline matter when you get your Braces off?
Midlines
May 5, 2017
There have been many studies done to determine whether a non-dentist notices the midline being off. There is actually a pretty big range before it is noticed or commented on. Midlines are a little harder to fix, sometimes teeth are different sizes and shapes and they may not be perfect. As an Orthodontist, mine are slightly off but nobody has ever commented on it.

Best of luck!

Is it possible to get Invisalign without having existing cavities filled?
Better to do the cavities
Apr 5, 2017
Yes, it would be better to take care of the cavities first. Even though they may not bother you, they can continue to grow and eventually cause much worse problems (which can be much more costly in the long run). I totally understand that you want to have straight teeth and a beautiful smile but it is very important to also make sure your teeth are healthy.
All the best,

Dr. Pam

3 consultations w/ drastically different treatments?
Treatment options
Apr 5, 2017
I understand it must be very frustrating to get different opinions! First of all, just take comfort in that they all recommended Invisalign treatment. Beyond that, different doctors may have different personal preferences. Some doctors do not like to use Invisalign express because it does not offer as much flexibility as the full Invisalign treatment — there are more limitations in the number of trays allotted. Some doctors like to spread out the movement over more trays, which…
Would Clear aligner or Spring aligner provide me with straighter teeth?
Clear aligners
Apr 5, 2017
Yes, clear aligners would help to bring those top front teeth back. You may be able to do just the top only if there are no concerns with the bottom, however sometimes it is best to do both to get the proper bite established. Your doctor will be able to do a thorough exam and give you a better estimate on how long it would take.
Good luck!

Do clear aligners help straighten overcrowded teeth, just as well as traditional braces would? (pho
Aligners
Apr 5, 2017
From your photos, it does appear that Invisalign would be a great option for you. Invisalign progressively moves the teeth little by little over time. I think you would see the canine teeth come down faster with braces, but ultimately you will get the same end result.
You should definitely get a consult from an Orthodontics specialist to determine what treatment options are best for you. I think you will be extremely happy with the outcome!
Good luck!

Why are my trays feeling tighter at the end of 2 weeks?
Tray fit
Apr 5, 2017
In general, it is best for the tray to feel “loose” before you move to the next one. However, it is not common for the tray to start to feel tighter all of a sudden. I would express your concerns with your Dr. and maybe you can go in for a quick exam to make sure nothing else is going on.
All the best,
Dr. Pam
Will braces be expensive in my case (condition of teeth).
Payment options
Apr 5, 2017
The cost of braces depends on many factors, including the estimated length of treatment, degree of difficulty, etc. An Orthodontic specialist can do an exam and consultation for you and give you a better idea of your treatment options and cost.
Depending on the type of insurance you have, you may be able to get a “discounted rate” and/or a one-time maximum benefit towards treatment. There are a few different kinds of insurance plans and some do have a waiting period before it…
