my orthodontist appointment is in 2 days.
i need to make a desision for invisalign or braces/
Ok, well i have a gap on my two front upper teeth and an over bight and one of the front ones are squished with another one making the one next to it face into my mouth. On the bottom i have 4 crooked teeth no gaps, just looks like there pushed in. Will invisalign work for me or am i better off with braces? And which ones will be cheaper for me>

My 12-year old god-daughter is very self conscious about her smile, and wants to get Invisalign asap.
We have been told that all her secondary molars need to have erupted, and that this normally takes place between the ages of 11 and 13. We have not consulted a dentist/orthodontist yet, but want to get some sort of idea when she can start the process, as she is very anxious.

I am getting invisalign. The orthodontist said it would take about 1-1.5 years. I am wondering if the teeth are straightened much quicker than that, but treatment continues for minor adjustments/ keep teeth in their positions. In other words, will my teeth be straight within months?

My daughter has to have some orthodontic work done (a widening appliance to widen her top jaw, then a face mask to correct her underbite), and of course, the plan I have through work covers nothing. Are there plans out there that I can sign up for that will help substantially reduce the cost of this $2,700 procedure?

I’m going to get my first trays of invisalign tomorrow, I have had spacers in since last tuesday. They don’t hurt anymore at all, and i can’t even feel them. Will my orthodontist take them out then, or wait until they fall out? If it’s wait till they fall out, how will they do that wil plastic trays on top of them?

ADRIAN,
YOU’LL ONLY HAVE THIS IF YOU STARTED WITH INVISALIGN
IF NOT,A FIXED WIRE RETAINER THAT’S INVISIBLE CAN BE PUT IN

I have went to the Orthodontist and my invisalign retainers should be coming. It feels like it has been forever! How long does it usually take for them to come in?

Orthodontics Defined Orthodontics may be the specialty of dentistry that's concerned using the study and treatment of malocclusion (improper bites), which may be a result of tooth irregularity, disproportionate jaw relationships, or both. Orthodontic therapy can focus on dental displacement only, or can deal using the control and modification of facial growth. In the latter case it is better defined as "dentofacial orthopedics". Orthodontic therapy can be carried out for purely aesthetic reasons with regards to improving the general appearance of patients' teeth. Nevertheless, you will find orthodontists who work on reconstructing the whole face rather than focusing exclusively on teeth. Therapy is also frequently prescribed for practical reasons for example providing the patient having a functionally improved bite (occlusion).
