Would braces help with front tooth at top of mouth that is sticking out?

December 16th, 2011
Q.

Hello, i am wondering if it is possible to get a brace or something that i could have put in to help my tooth at the front of my mouth, the two front teeth at the top of my mouth one of them is slightly sticking out and it really gets me down, if this is possible and if so how much would it roughly be? And is this something i would be able to get through the NHS or would i have to go privately? If i do go privately is it metal braces my choice? what kind of difference is there between the two other than cost?

I have mildly crossed teeth, would Invisalign be a good treatment option?

November 28th, 2011
Q.

Hi I am torn between two sets of orthodontic treatments. I have mildly crossed teeth and hadn’t considered them bad enough to warrant having a fixed/traditional brace- bit of overkill? I have since then seen Invisalign and clearstep which I like the look of. either of these would be more suited to me, as as I mentioned my teeth are not ‘that’ bad. I always had reservations about these types of treatments though- I don’t know why i just find myself thinking i’ll end up trying it and being told this doesn’t work for you- get a traditional brace! however before this I spotted the Demon bracen which was tooth coloured/clear couldn’t make my mind up what colour it is was. but this was nearly invisible at a quick glance and looked as though it would perform like a traditional brace I.e: tried and tested. in straightening slightly crooked teeth what would you recommend of the two? or are they even good choices.. thank you.

Is decalcification common with Six Month Smiles and if so, how do I avoid it?

November 28th, 2011
Q.

hi there, iam considering six month braces and iam told my treatment will be the full six months. iam really worried about declarification (i think thats how its spelt) on my teeth can this take place with the brace only being on six months?. And if it did can it be reversed?. Id hate to have perfect straight teeth with lots of discolouration. Anything i can do to prevent this? is it common in your patients who have had this treatment?. Thanks in advance.

Are Damon braces better than braces for straightening crooked teeth?

November 11th, 2011
Q.

Hi Raha I’m thinking of getting a Damon brace. I think it looks lot better than the traditional ones and apparently it is quicker? I have crooked teeth, not severe but not at all mild. I’d say on a 1-10 scale they’re a 6. I think that the Damons would be best as they, for me seem to be a suped up version of a traditional brace (correct me if i’m wrong) and my dentist keeps trying to drill into me that a traditional brace is the one and so on! would you sasy that the Damon brace is better than a traditional brace for crooked teeth? if not what are the other alternatives to straightening crooked teeth that are good? and finally is it possible to get tooth coloured Damons? that would be perfect

What is the best brace to treat overlapping teeth?

November 9th, 2011
Q.

I am 16 in the UK, Lancaster in full time education and I am desperate for braces. On my top teeth I have an incisor that is angled forward and on my bottom teeth, I have over lapping teeth. I have only spoken to my dentist about it once and he said it would cost about £2,500. I haven’t been to see an orthodontist as my mum is dead set on my not having braces but recently I have noticed them to be getting worse and I am feeling really self conscious about it. I just wondered if there is any advice you can give me about getting other opinions and advice! Thank you

My second Invisalign retainer is nowhere near as tight as my first, is this normal?

November 9th, 2011
Q.

To Raha Sepehrara,

I live not too far from Birmingham and am currently on a course of Invisalign. I had my first retainer, which was was fine. I found it very strange at first as there was a lot of tension on my teeth seemingly everywhere. I love how discreet they are though, I do however have a Problem, the second retainer I have just been given does not have anywhere near the same amount of retention as the first did. I don’t now whether to have another made or whether this time taken will hinder the treatment time and may cost more. firstly do you think it would carry an additional cost to have another one made but before that would you say it was necessary to have one made at all? please, with your experience being vital in this field, could you advise me on what my next move should be. thanks a lot

Can Damon braces straighten my crooked top and bottom teeth?

November 8th, 2011
Q.

I have just turned nineteen and as such am now to old to receive free brace treatment on the NHS at a NHS dentist. the issue is a lot of these old NHS dentist are doing (or already have) going private anyway. I’m now not too bothered that I’m going to have to pay for it because a lot of places are offering 0% finance and so on. coupled with the fact that I learnt that only the traditional braces were free means that I’m not too bothered. I have crooked teeth on the bottom jaw and my top ones have started to move but in doing do this has created a small space between two other teeth, I like the look of Damon braces as they are slightly more discreet and apparently quicker. could you please tell me on average how much Damon braces cost and can they as look treat anything that traditional braces could fix? and do you think they wuold be suitable for a patient such as myself?

How many aligners are normally needed to complete a case of Invisalign?

November 1st, 2011
Q.

Hi, I am about to be having Invisalign treatment to sort out slightly crowded teeth. I dohowever have a problem that I want to clarify with yourself, who has comleted many similar cases. when you are consulting a patient and advising them how long treatment will take/ how many retainers they will personally need, what would you say is the average amount of retainers? I always thought it was four retainers for two weeks but I have now been told that I could need as many as six retainers over a period of three months (two weeks intervals). either take that option or have a more conventional option which is much longer, could you please advise me what I should expect and whether what I have been told is right or whether my orthodontist is off his head? cheers
