Is it possible to have a brace without the need for tooth extraction?

February 17th, 2012
Q.

Hi I have long considered braces as my teeth have overlapped, I am currently 24 and as such I belive I have stopped growing and I dont intend on putting masses of weight on so my teeth should stay pretty much where they are now. I have been looking at the procedure involved when having braces and I am not overly keen on having a tooth out. Im no dentist but after looking at the size and distance of/between teeth I dont think I need it. I’m sure there is a name for this procedure. could you recall it for me if I am right, If not could you please advise me, thanks a lot, it’s appreciated.

I want to straighten my severely crossed lower teeth but I have a chipped tooth, what do I do first?

February 2nd, 2012
Q.

Hi Anoop maini. all my lower teeth have crowded severely. I chipped one recently and was hoping to have a veneer placed on it or some bonding. I decided to wait and find out if this should be done before or after. What I want to know though is if I can any treatment to fix the chipped tooth temporarily whilst wearing braces. I had planned on getting Damon braces as they are fast and fairly discreet unless there is a better option if this makes a difference at all. thanks for your time Dr.

What’s the quickest treatment for me: Invisalign or Six Month Smiles?

January 30th, 2012
Q.

HELLO Mr Maini. I would like to ask you about orthodontics, I have heard now for a while that there are orthodontic treatments available that are either quicker than traditional methods or ones that help/work along side, I have looked at six month smiles along with invisalign. I believe I would be a good candidate for Invisalign given the state my teeth are in (not too severe). but i have also now spotted AcceleDent that runs coherently with treatment to speed it up. If i am looking for a quick treatment (before the end of this year) which option would you say is consistently best to go for the invisalign, acceledent or six month smiles, as I know this is a your forte as such. thanks Dr

I only need to move one tooth, are conventional braces necessary?

January 30th, 2012
Q.

Hello Anoop. I have wondered for some time about braces. I have always refrained from looking into it as all I have ever pictured is the traditional braces like train tracks and I dont want them. I only have one rouge tooth that drifts across. its the right incisor and it drifts across the left so it’s blatantly obvious to all those that meet me! It really knocks my confidence and I’m not sure a full conventional brace is at all necessary to fix what seems like a small problem in moving one tooth only. given the circumstances and with you not being able to see me and the tooth in question what you suggest t solve hos problem as quickly as possible? thanks Dr for your time and considering my question.

Can invisible braces move my underbite or will I still need surgery?

January 16th, 2012
Q.

i have crooked upper and lower teeth and an underbite (not a massive underbite but jutting out slightly more to the left). when i was 14 or 15 i was fitted with braces and told i’d have to wear them for two years, i think. i was told that i’d then have surgery to move my bottom jaw backwards and into place. after a few days of having the braces fitted, i couldn’t take the pain and cut the wires. i’m now 26 and this is a massive regret. i get jaw ache, the underbite and crookedness of the teeth has worsened and i’m constantly hiding my smile. i’d like to get it sorted. three questions: 1)would it be possible to get those invisible braces fitted? 2)how much would it cost in a private surgery, roughly, to have straight teeth and no underbite 3)how long would it take? thank you in advance

Will six month smiles bring a high tooth down?

December 23rd, 2011
Q.

Hi Anoop. I live in London and I have a query about braces. I have a high tooth above my right upper incisor. its in place of the tooth behind it and is very unsightly. aside from this I also have small gaps between the rest of my teeth. I have been trying to short-list some brace systems since I found out there was essentially more than just train tracks. the problem is they’re all meant to do so much that this is almost impossible. I could only cross off the inman aligner and the invisalign treatments as the problem is located on my upper jaw and requires the teeth to go in both directions not just sideways. considering this and the remaining brace systems. I then saw the six month smiles and wondered to myself whether i could have the problems with my teeth sorted in six months! this was exciting but i wanted to know if I would fit the criteria for this type of treatment.

Can I be sedated while having my braces fitted?

December 2nd, 2011
Q.

Hi Dr Maini, I guess I am classed as a nervous patient In that I cannot stand the dentists and have not been able to since being young I have been told its called dental phobia and that I’m one f many which is nice! anyway I am nineteen as as such will have to pay for my own braces regardless of what I have done. I was wondering whether it would be at all possible to have braces put under sedation or something like this is there anything that runs along side fitting braces in order to make it suit a dental phobia patient. secondly to this what brace requires the least maintenance- ie. the least trips to the dentist for adjustments when considering closing gapped teeth? thanks

I want Social 6 braces, but am suffering from toothache, is this likely to affect my brace treatment?

November 30th, 2011
Q.

Hi Anoop I have struggled now for a while with terrible toothache. the dentist put a white filling or something in which has since fallen out. no idea what it was. anyway that tooth has been giving me bother for about 2/3 months aching like it has. I don’t know what’s up with it but I want a brace and am worried that this blumming thing is going to hinder the implementation of one. I don’t know what I should do with the tooth. its my third from back on the bottom right hand side of my jaw. what would you recommend in this senario. If I have the social six treatment (as this i believe is all thats necessary with the overlapped teeth being at the front between the canines) this would surely be unaffected and any necessary treatment can be carried out? what are your thoughts DR, Thank you very much

I have poor oral health, but I am soon to have braces, what can I use to stop tooth decay?

November 28th, 2011
Q.

Im about to have braces but im worried that my oral health is literally just about good enough and not enough to compensate for the obvious dip its about to take when braces are applied. I am going to get everything i can available to clean my teeth with but in a meantime is there anything i can do in terms of concentrating my cleaning habbits to boost my mouths health? and when I get braces is there any particular good way to clean in and around them because otherwise its going to take me like 1 million gozillion minutes to clean my whole mouth. ive always been critical about my oral hygiene it just slipped last year as i moved away for work experince. i will both appreciate and use any information that you can send my way, all the best.
