What would you recommend to fix my bottom row of teeth (one tooth in particular)?
Relapse of orthodontic treatment.
Apr 4, 2020
Hi Lukesjukem:
This is a common occurrence when retention is not followed, flowing orthodontic treatment. However, do not despair. The fix is fairly easy. You just have to go through a short course of orthodontics again. Invisalign specifically offers a 5 year guarantee for their treatment and depending upon what you paid your dentist and which payment tear he/she paid Invisalign, there might be no charge for you.
You must speak to your dentist/orthodontist and address the…
How do I ask for my veneers to look natural and not glossy or fake? What shade should I look for?
Veneers natural
Dec 13, 2018
The natural look of veneers is actually created by texture and proper color gradation as well as the material used. Ask your dentist to see samples of his work and then you will be able to assess what kind of look you can get from this dentist. Also bringing photos and asking the dentist to duplicate a certain book is very helpful.
Best of luck,
Will porcelain veneers work for me?
Straight teeth vs. Veneers
Dec 13, 2018
Dear ajana:
Do not look for any quick solutions for your situation. The only proper way to get you to have beautiful straight teeth is Orthodontics. Go see an orthodontist in your area for proper treatment. Anything else such as extractions, veneers, or crowns will produce a very compromised looking result. It is impossible to even out a gum line around the teeth by doing restorative work such as crowns or veneers. The only way is by properly moving the teeth into place. in addition,…
Dentist’s office closed mid Invisalign treatment. What should I do?
Record transfer
Dec 13, 2018
Sorry to hear for your trouble. however, don’t disparage, there is a way out. The most important thing to do is to find a dentist who will be willing to take over the case either at a nominal fee, and some will be willing to take over the case knowing that you will turn into a regular patient that comes in for periodic cleanings and other Dental needs. Invisalign will gladly switch their records for you at your dentist request and will produce any missing aligners.
Personally, we…
I am wondering if I need to get dental crowns on my front four teeth?
Crowns, veneers, conservative dentistry
Dec 10, 2018
Dear Lizziepine:
It is very possible to restore ONLY the dark tooth to match in color almost perfectly to the other teeth and you have two teeth next to it that are worn down by your bite. However, ANY restorative work done, crowns, veneers, or composite restorations, regardless of materials will suffer the same fate over time. Not only that, if you crown the teeth, you will end up knocking the crowns out with your lower teeth. As a Prosthodontist,…
Should there be yellowing around the border of my veneers?
Veneers. Color. Yellow
Oct 18, 2018
Dear lskstowe:
I am so sorry to hear that after all that you’ve been through you are unhappy with the result of the Restorations you received.
Before you go running around searching for a new dentist, you should speak to your current one and ask about the yellowing. From your description it is impossible to tell whether the yellowing is just a stain that was put into the nearest to make them look real, hygiene stain which could be cleaned off readily, or just the cement line that…
Would I need to have my teeth shaved before Invisalign to close the gap and black triangle?
Orthodontics
Oct 18, 2018
Dear confused:
You have beautiful teeth and all that needs to be done is have them placed in the right position. As far as the black triangle, it can be planned properly on the computer model and a proper prediction as to how much reduction between the teeth is necessary can also be ascertained in that way.
This is a routine procedure for an orthodontist or a dentist who understands the biology involved. Since you are in a major metropolitan area I suggest going to consult with an…
