I would like fast braces

September 23rd, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr, I have a number of issues with my teeth that i would like to sort out as soon as i can really. One of my fang teeth is twisted at the top and looks unsightly and i have wide gaps between my front teeth. I wouldn’t want very visible braces but I am not too bothered I would rather they were fast above everything else. Ideally I would like my teeth to be straightened in less than a year, any sooner than that would be brilliant.Can you recommend any braces for me? There seems to be so many braces out these days I don’t have a clue where to begin as i haven’t even found a private dentist yet. I don’t want to be talked into something that i do not know very much about so it would be very useful if you could advise me where to begin so that I have possible a list of two or three braces that I would be willing to discuss.

Can I have braces that are discreet?

September 17th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Maini,
I am 29 years old and have crooked teeth all along the bottom of mouth. Generally they are easy to hide day to day but i would like to get them straightened so that I don’t have to worry about hiding them anymore. If possible I would like braces that i can take out because I do not want the health of my teeth to suffer at all as I had a friend who had this problem.I really don’t want fixed braces because of how they look, and I would like something that works quite fast but is gentle as I hate pain! are there any braces which would work for my problem do you think? I have heard about clear braces but i really don’t know much information about them or if they would be suitable for me. If I have to have fixed ones I don’t think I would have braces treatment.

Depends on the severity of the… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

What treatment can I have for my chipped tooth so I can wear a brace?

January 23rd, 2013
Q.

When I was about 13 I chipped my front tooth and because I was so young my dentist put porcelain over it and over another tooth that was supposedly chipped. Now being 19 the porcelain has chipped a little and, being originally discoloured but is now very discoloured . I want the unnecessary porcelain taken off my one canine and a cap on my front tooth and my teeth whitened.I need the crown to cover my chipped tooth. Would i then be able to have a brace? I will be getting my teeth whitened but I don’t know whether I can a) have the crown before the brace and b) have the tooth whitening before or after. For such a seemingly small problem I am having to go through all this, could you please pass me any knowledge of this situation? thankyou

Will Invisalign work for me? And how discreet are they?

December 7th, 2012
Q.

Hi, this is just a general enquiry before I book a consultation with an orthodontist but I still hope you can provide a good insight. I don’t want to pay for a consultation only to be rejected for the treatment I want. I’m a 42 year old female, who works in an office environment. I have had crooked teeth for far too long now and looking for some braces which are discreet. The only problem is that I have 2 missing bottom teeth (on the left at the back) and I have a missing tooth at the top (left at the back) will invisalign or something like that still work for me? and would it work AS well? thank you for your time.

My front left teeth are not straight, i was told it was caused by my lower teeth, what options do i have other than braces?

October 12th, 2012
Q.

Hello there. I have had root canal treatment on 3 of my front teeth. My two front left teeth are not straight. One is angled a little further back than it should be whilst the other is at an angle and protruding forward. The rest of my teeth are fairly straight. I have looked into ortho before and was told that it was caused by my lower teeth. Any treatment would have to be for life as my bottom teeth would force my top teeth crooked again. Do I have any options to have these teeth straightened other than using a brace? Thanks for your time Anoop!

Missing lateral incisors leaving big gaps either side of my mouth, what are my options?

September 24th, 2012
Q.

Hi there Anoop wondering if you could help me out – I have missing lateral incisors therefore leaving gaps either side of my front teeth. My dentist advised that i get a brace to push them together closing the gaps then get crowns fitted, the brace is a bit expensive for me and i can’t see my credit history allowing treatment on finance. I was wondering if there was a cheaper option? He said bonding treatments were not an option due to the shape and position of the teeth. Please tell me there is light at the end of a dark low confidence tunnel. Look forward to hearing from you!

My gums bulge after having braces, is there something that can be done to correct this?

September 24th, 2012
Q.

Hi, I just want to ask what can be done with my gums because the roots of my teeth bulge after having my braces. I look totally different now because the roots of my teeth became like an anchor that made me look like an ape. Also my lower lip is more forward. I don’t know why it turns out that way when i thought having braces would enhance my face profile. Is there something that can be done to correct all of these? Please kindly give me an advice, Hope you can help! Thank you.

My teeth are very weak, but i would like a brace to straighten my teeth, will i be able to get one with a history of weak teeth?

August 30th, 2012
Q.

Anoop can i have your advice please. I am 30 years old and when i was young i had a few problems with my teeth, they are weak and break quite often when i eat hard things or bash my mouth in sports. I have had a few teeth crowned and that has strengthened them slightly. I would like to get a brace, which one i am not sure. I just wanted to know if dentists would say yes or no to me for having a brace with my history of weak teeth? I don’t want to put too much pressure on them so maybe do it very slowly? Also is there some kind of way i get get strong teeth? i try and drink milk with calcium but it hasn’t worked yet?

Is it okay to have my teeth whitened while having invisalign treatment?

August 17th, 2012
Q.

Hi Anoop, I’m just in the middle of my invisalign treatment on plate #6 it’s going really well, i like how loads of people don’t even know i have it! I was just wanting to know if its a good idea or not to while i’m still wearing the plates to whiten my teeth with self whitening? Or get it done at a dentists but that just costs a lot more! I also wanted to know what do dentists feel about home tooth whitening kits, i’ve heard mixed things really, that your teeth get really sensitive and sore? Does this still happen when you have it done at a dentists? If i could have your advice that would be great! I don’t want to do something that will damage my teeth! Thanks Annop!

I’m interested in either Damon, Invisalign and clearstep, I want it to be quick and discreet, which would you recommend?

July 16th, 2012
Q.

Hey Dr Maini, I have been researching for 6 months now the best brace for me. I had a consultation with my NHS dentist before this time and they said my teeth would be fine for most current orthodontic treatments – the three i am interested in is – Damon, Invisalign and Clearstep. Firstly could you clarify the differences between Invisalign and Clearstep, if there is a difference? Which would you recommend. I want it to be discreet that’s why i have chose these three. But i don’t want to be stuck with them for a long time? Therefore if the damon braces are faster i will put up with the tracks on my teeth rather than the clear retainers on Invisalign? Is there a price difference at your clinic between clearstep and Invisalign?
