Do I need fixed braces or can I have Invisalign aligners?

November 6th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr,
I would like to have Invisalign braces because they are not very obvious looking, but my current dentist says that I need fixed braces. I only have three crooked teeth on my lower mouth at the front so I can’t see why I need a fixed brace. My dentist doent do Invisalign so perhaps this is why. But in your opinion do you think that I qualify for Invisalign treatment? Thanks and I know its hard to tell without seeing my mouth yourself, but any help would really be appreciated.

December 9th, 2013
Q.

Hello Doctor,
I have recently moved to the UK from Canada and would like to find out the best place to get braces for my son who is 15.

We live in Surrey and I dont really know many people here to ask about the best dentist to go to or how the process works.

Am I too old for braces?

December 9th, 2013
Q.

Hello,
I am 45 and I believe that I am too old to have braces? I am lucky enough to be getting married next year in the Bahamas and my teeth have always been the bane of my life. They are crooked at the front on the bottom of my teeth. I really would like to surprise my husband to be with a brand new smile and I would like to feel confident on my big day. If I cannot have braces are there any other treatments I can have to make my teeth look straight? Obviously I would like to smile on my bid day and feel beautiful.Thank you doctor for giving your time, take care,

I don’t think my aligners are working

November 7th, 2013
Q.

Hello there,
I am currently wearing clear aligners and have been for the past three months but I am getting worried that they are not working. I have seen no movement at all even when i use the next set of aligners every few weeks. i asked my dentist and he said that there is minimal movement at the start and to be patient but as they are so expensive I am concerned that I have chosen the wrong kind of braces. Is there anyway that I could ask to change braces or would I have to pay fthe full amount for these and another kind of brace? i think I want fixed braces as i would feel more secure knowing they are definitely moving my teeth. is this normal to have no movement yet?

How can i get straight teeth?

October 24th, 2013
Q.

My two front teeth bend severely inwards but over the years my dentist hasn’t pushed for me to have anything done about it. In the past I have been told that in order to wear braces I would first have to have some teeth extracted as I have overcrowding.So, say I have some teeth extracted-then what braces would be best to make my two front teeth straight and realign the rest of my teeth? I don’t want the most expensive treatment but I don’t want them to really stand out…Any help or advice you could pass my way would be fantastic. Thanks

I want discreet braces for my 12 year old daughter

October 17th, 2013
Q.

Hello,
I wondered if you could help me.My daughter is 12 years old and has been told that she will need orthodontic treatment. This is at an NHS clinic we go to. They say she will have to wear fixed braces on both her top and bottom teeth. My daughter is not at all happy about this and has been crying about the prospect. At first I thought she would come around to the idea but it has been going on for over a month now. If I was to look into private dental clinics would there be more discreet options for my daughter or would they be the same fixed braces? Thanks for your time.

A.
In our clinic and I am sure ot… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Q.

Hello there,
My wife has always complained about her teeth for a number of years. I have heard about smile makeovers from my daughter and would like to get this for my wife as a gift.

What braces would be suitable for my front teeth?

October 11th, 2013
Q.

Hello Doctor,
I am getting married next Year and really want to get my teeth sorted out before my big day. My teeth are in a bit of a mess, they are healthy and white but not straight. I can see problem areas all over my mouth. I am a primary school teacher so if I am to wear braces they would have to be discreet and not affect my speech too much. I have been looking at Inman Aligner treatment as I saw some information about it in a magazine. I don’t know much about other braces but what would you say would be the best treatment for me? My back teeth are straight its just all the front ones top and bottom. There are so many braces and so many websites that i just get very confused about which would be best for me. Thank you for your time and I look forward to seeking your advice. Kind regards and take care

What braces can my teenage daughter wear?

October 2nd, 2013
Q.

Hi Doctor,
My teenage daughter has been told that she will need to have braces because she has an overbite. She is very upset about this because she is a very shy girl and finds it hard to make friends and talk to people as it is. Out current dentist has told her that the braces will be fixed and she just doesn’t want them and is refusing even to discuss this with us.
I would like to know more information about the braces that are available privately as i do not know much about this subject matter. If she came to your practice what braces would you possibly suggest that are more discreet?

A.
