Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Recently got porcelain veneers – do they look natural?
Nice case
Jan 13, 2022
I think this is a really nice result. B1 is the brightest natural color there is. Lots of people now have even whiter teeth with veneers and whitening being prevalent, but this is a color that only 16 year olds had 50 years ago. But people are quite acclimated to that now and I believe these will be perceived by others as very nice, bright whitened natural teeth. Congratulations and enjoy your smile with pride!
Will Invisalign help me have a nice smile or should I go for veneers?
Problem Teeth
Jun 17, 2020
Just from a quick study of your photos, I will tell you that the most important thing I see is that some sort of acid has been the major cause of your troubles.  This is typically in the form of sodas, sports drinks, fruit juice or energy drinks.  Can be stomach acid from throwing up, but that doesn’t look like the pattern I’m seeing in the photos.  This will require restorations on teeth.  Orthodontics, such as Invisalign, might help improve the result of the restoration, but you’ll have to…

Ortho/restorative case
Apr 6, 2017
This case is right up my alley!  I love these situations because we can help so much!  I would recommend Invisalign or braces to re-align followed by restoring the incisal edges of the front teeth with composite as a conservative and beautiful option.  We do this all the time.  Of course, you need the maintenance or to work done first.  Regarding the decay issues – I don’t want to sound like a jerk, but I also want to help you get to the bottom of why this has happened to you so you can pr…
Is X ray neccessary for Invisalign consultation?
Xrays for Invisalign
Apr 6, 2017
X rays are not required by Invisalign.  I like to see the roots of the teeth and bone support before proceeding with any orthodontic treatment.  I also use it to ensure that no decay is present in any of the teeth before beginning ortho treatment.  Best wishes!
I started Invisalign and it gave me burning tongue tip and mouth which doesn’t let me sleep? I sto
Invisalign allergy
Apr 6, 2017
I have had one patient react to Invisalign aligners.  I believe the company offers an alternative material upon request so you should be able to complete treatment.  I believe my patient was too freaked out and chose to ask Invislign for a refund.  I think they gave it to us.  Not sure – it’s been quite a few years.  It is extremely rare.  For now, salt water rinse several times a day may sooth your mouth.  Many dentists will prescribed a home-brew kind of mouth rinse from a compoundi…

Uneven wear and orthodontics
Apr 6, 2017
Your dentist or orthodontist did the right thing in leveling the gum line rather that the edge of the tooth.  Hopefully they discussed with you before treatment that something would need to be done to restore the tooth structure lost here presumably due to uneven wear (or fracture).  Many times composite bonding can be made to look nice here.  If not a porcelain veneer or crown can be necessary.  Many dentists prefer restoring both front teeth as it is easier to make things symmet…
Can I change Invisalign trays in 3 or 4 days, if the next tray fits me fine?
Accelerated orthodontics
Apr 6, 2017
Acceledent and Propel are fairly new to all of us.  Each patient is different too.  It’s really hard to say.  As a previous answer stated, the discrepancy may be very small and not noticeable but if, over time, you end up with certain teeth not tracking, things can get out of whack.  If the lagging tooth or teeth make the aligners subtly not fit as well as they should this could mean that none of the subsequent trays fit as well and the next thing you know, none of your aligners fit prope…
