Is there any way to fund Invisalign treatment?

June 8th, 2012
Q.

Hi Raha, My daughter has recently had braces on, she really did need them, she was really unhappy with her appearance and didn’t like going to school. So we have had a brace fitted but her mood has gone even further downhill. I think she’s getting bullied at school. I was wondering if there would be a more discreet way for her to have this treatment. I know there are ways such as invisalign but they are very expensive, is there any funding that we can get or a finance option at your clinic? I’m not sure what the best way to tackle this one is? What is your advice? Thanks!

Can you tell me about the new Smart Bracket Braces? Which brace should I choose?

May 18th, 2012
Q.

Hey there! I’ve heard about these new smart bracket braces? I don’t really understand how they work, can you explain? I looked on the internet and couldn’t really find anything, with that in mind i’m not a great user of the web! They look the same as a normal metal brace? With the introduction of invisalign surely people will go for that instead of an unsightly metal brace, I sure would anyway! I’m currently deciding as to which brace to go for, if the new brace system is a lot quicker then i might be persuaded to go for that one! Between invisalign and the smart bracket which do you think is the most practicle? I did think about lingual braces but i have heard quite a few negative reviews about these! Let me know what your thoughts are! Thanks you!

How is Six Month Smile different to Invisalign and the Inman Aligner?

May 10th, 2012
Q.

Hi there , I am a little confused as to what six month smiles offer. I respect that they are quick and so on but if i had Invisalign or the inman aligner for example they would be much quicker. what I don’t understand is how can these three methods take less than/up to six months when the traditional braces take up to two years? what exactly do they do that these other methods don’t and if it’s nothing then why is this method still in circulation and offered as the main orthodontic treatment? I want braces you see and I’m worried that by vying for a quicker option I will be vying for the wrong option. I want the best and as such need to know these things? cheers

March 5th, 2012
Q.

Hello Ms Sepehrara I would like to know about braces and whether I have to pay for them. My dentist says that i don’t need braces but i really really want them to close up my gap teeth and tiny gaps in between my teeth also to straighten out a few teeth. i do have overbitte but not alot only about a couple of millimetres my dentist said. all this really makes me unconfident and i was wondering if id be able to get braces for free because i am nearly 17 years old or would i have to pay? Thank you

When will I begin to see a change in my teeth with Invisalign?

March 5th, 2012
Q.

Hello Ms Sepehrara I need to askk you a question about invisalign. I have read your profile and have looked on your site and can see that this is your forte as such. so then, I have been wearing the Invisalign braces for just under two weeks and am due for my second set soon. I have been told that there will be four sets of these braces/aligners used. I have seen no apparent difference up to now and was wondering how the changes required would be made over the next three at this rate…
Could you please tell me hen I would start seeing improvements in my teeth shape or whether I should have already and some things wrong. thank you Dr for your time.

Would Invisalign or the Inman aligner be able to fix my canine teeth that stick out slightly and are rotated?

February 9th, 2012
Q.

Hi, I would like to correct my teeth. Althought the front 6 teeth are straight, the teeth behind disappear intot he back of my mouth. When I smeile, you only see the front teeth. My canine teeth are stick out slightly and are rotated. I want to correct this, I have been to a local dentist for a consultation. He suggested Inman Aligners (as that’s what the practice offers) althogh he did state that there was a chance they would not move the teeth as much as I would like. Would Invisalign do the job? I don’t mind having full old fashioned braces if it will move them enough but I’m finding less Dentists offering this. Please can you help Raha?

Can I pay for my braces with a payment plan?

January 11th, 2012
Q.

Hi I would like to have my teeth straightened and was wondering if you can let me know the costs and benefits. (will I be entitled to pay thru benefits) also I have a tooth that has grown under my existing one and was wondering what treatment would i need to recover from this? How will the treatments take place and how many occasions will this be then settled? Please can you advise me further. To be honest I would be looking to have braces that you can’t see that much, rather than train track braces, but whatever you recommend doctor 🙂 Thanks

My teeth have moved after wearing braces, can I have more orthodontic treatment?

January 3rd, 2012
Q.

I have had problems with my teeth since I was a child (I am now 24). I had cut all my adult teeth at a young age, and suffered bad overcrowding. I had 4 molars removed when I was 9, and then a brace for approx. 4 years followed by a retainer. My wisdom teeth came through in my late teens, and although they have never caused me pain I have recently had to have one removed due to decay. Idealy, I would like the remaining 3 removed as they are causing overcrowding again. After my orthodontic treatment, my teeth were really straight.Now, after so many years of treatment, my top front teeth are VERY crooked. It is a real problem to me, and really gets me down. I feel so let down after everything I have gone through, and feel it is a constant battle to get any dentist to listen to my worries. I am getting married next year and really want to feel confident then! I was told a while ago when I asked for another brace to be fitted that it would not be possible as my teeth had already been moved so much, another brace would cause them to become loose.Is this true? What treatment would you reccommend? Thank you so much for your time.

What should I expect from an orthodontic consultation?

December 16th, 2011
Q.

Hello RAha. I like a lot of people have decided I have to have braces, so i assume thats the first step. the realisation. now however I need to decide what braces I am going to need. I know at some stage I will need an appointment and have a dentist look at my situation. could i ask though what will happen in these consultations what, If I came to your dental suit for example would you be thinking and checking for when determining whether a patient will be able to have, lets say a Damon brace as I am keen on these systems? I will do anything to not have a fixed traditional brace so any help would be greatley appreciated. thank you
