My braces seem to big and have irritated the inside of my cheeks?

March 16th, 2012
Q.

Hi. Mr Patel I have been recommended to this site by a freind who used it previously and had contacted you- in doing so she had recieved ‘excellent feedback’ -quote. I was wondeing if you could help my situation. I have a full brace/traintracks. I don’t particularly like them of the truth is told but i assumed I wouldn’t so ill deal with it for the final outcome which i hope to be very happy with. the issue im having however cannot be ignored for now. the clasp things that the wires are anchored to seem too big and really irritate the inside of my cheeks, rubbing and the like, the skin there has gone white and has peeled. it does hurt now and agan when it catched but otherwise its just really annoying, is there anything i can do about this? cheers

I think I will look a bit daft if I get braces in my thirties. Can you advise?

March 9th, 2012
Q.

Hello Sir,. could you please lay to rest the fears i now have about braces. I have wanted them for a while now but I never wanted the train tracks. As a thirty one year old i feel lI would look a bit daft with them on and I here they take the longest of any treatment. I have been trying to research about things like and Inman Aligner and Invisalign but Have e found a lot of horror stories about both and also stories about how they’ve not worked or lined bottom teeth up with the top etc. what would you say about these types of brace treatment, are they reliable and do they give the correct and desired results? thank you

I have a gap on the lower teeth and crowding on the upper. What should I do?

March 5th, 2012
Q.

Hello Darsh. I am in the unfortunate position of having crossed teeth on the top and a gap onn the bottom. when I was about twelve the dentist extracted a couple of my lowe teeth to make room for growth as they were starting to overcrowd, anyway these have moved apart which I am not happy with, indicating that he clearly didnt need to take out more than one and has created too much room. what Can I do about this as he was not sure about moving top teeth out and lower teeth in at the same time, I wont be having any work carried out there from now on and am looking for treatment that would be suitable for this situation? thanks a lot Dr

My wife needs help with her braces when briefly returning from India. Can you help?

March 5th, 2012
Q.

Hi,
My wife’s jaw and teeth need to be straightened.
They are a bit pushed forward.
She is in India now. She cotacted her dentist there and he can fix it using either American technique or English technique.
But, it is a year process. She will be travelling to the UK next month.
So, she cannot continue her treatment in India.
The doctor in India will put the applicances for straightening the teeth (may be American technique) and she needs the help of a doctor to check it every month.
Is it something you can help?
Regards

My dentist wouldn’t give me a fixed retainer and now I have suffered a relapse. What to do?

March 5th, 2012
Q.

Hello Mr Patel. When i was younger i had a brace and had asked for the fixed retainer as i knew i wouldnt stick to the removable one all my life as i should. the dentist at thie time insisted that i ave the removable version and proceeded with this. as you can imagine i was unhappy and didnt stick to it for long as a result in my late twenties my teeth have relapsed back to their original crossed position. I am now looking to have a more modern proceedure to have this fixed and will require the fixed retainer if this is possible. what i wanted to know is whether this treatment will be available after any for of treatment or whether you can only have it post traditional brace? also what are the costs involved in the wire technique? thank you

Could the inman aligner work for me as I work out the country a lot?

March 5th, 2012
Q.

I have wanted to get my teeth straightened for along as I can remember. When I was 12 I had a retainer the brace to try and fix the problem but was unfortunately unsuccessful, I should had gone for the fixed braces.
For many years I have looked into all different types of methods but I have never been able to afford the treatment.
Today I have came across the groupon offer for inman aligners. Also it would just be the top that I would like to get done.
Another thing is, I work out of the country quite often and I am only home for a few months at a time, Is this something that would be a big problem with inman?

My teeth have basically rotted after an eating disorder. What options do I have before getting married?

March 5th, 2012
Q.

After suffering with an eating disorder over 12yrs ago my teeth have basically rotted away. I had veneers done on the front 4 teeth but they were poorly done and i feel like i was ripped off. The teeth need realignment and then whatever maybe needed to give me a nice mouth full of healthy looking teeth. I am due to be married but i want to have any treatment completed before i walk down the aisle. What are my options? Should I have my teeth realigned first and then have other treatment on top of that? thank you

My teeth are misaligned and crooked but the hospital won’t even see me. Why?

March 5th, 2012
Q.

Hello Mr. Patel.  I’m 18 and from the West Midlands I have a problem with my teeth. They are crooked, mis-aligned and cause me a great deal of distress. Many people will never see me smile because I’m far too self conscious to do so.( I should note that both my teeth and gums are healthy and don’t cause my any discomfort apart from the occasional ache as my wisdom teeth came through last year.) I finally plucked up the courage to go to my first dental visit when I turned 18 but because of my age I do not qualify for free NHS orthodontic treatment. My dentist did refer me to the Hospital but it turned out I wasn’t eligible.

My problem is that the hospital have not seen my teeth and I do not believe they can make and informed opinion without looking at them. Even my dentist believes they would be of benefit to me. They couldn’t of seen pictures or X rays to make the decision because I only just had them done today

I apologise for the long message but I really would appreciate your professional opinion on what I should do because I’m really desperate to get my teeth fixed and I do not have the financial support to go private.

Thanks,
