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

What is the best and fastest treatment for the closure of tooth gaps?

November 30th, 2011
Q.

/hi Sharon. I have looked at your Walpole Website and can see that the treatments you provide have really worked and it all looks really good. I have always said that dentistry is like anything else and that Im willing to travel for quality. I am in Southampton so it would only take me sort of an hour/hour and a half. I wanted to ask your opinion on gapped teeth. I finish Uni next year but am having some time off before going for a job. I was wondering how long it takes to close gapped teeth with a brace? I know thats very vague but I have small gaps of approx 2/3mm between my teeth but only the top row. the bottom are fine. in closing gaps would it be quicker or slower than overlapped teeth and what treatments would you recommend as the quickest?

Thanks for the question, and t… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Can AcceleDent be used in conjunction with an existing brace system or would you be required to start again?

November 1st, 2011
Q.

Hello I have heard about Acceldent and wanted to know if it was to be used in conjunction with braces and what types if so as i presume it doesnt fit all types? I thought this may present issues if it went say with a traditional braces as the vibrateing and accelerated movement wuold loosen wires quick having an almost negative effect on the brace? if this is the case then does it mean the patient has to then visit the dentist more in order to have the brace altered .
also If I want this treatment for example would I have to start treatment again or would I be able to intergrate it with my current fixed device and system?

What is the fastest brace treatment for crooked teeth?

October 27th, 2011
Q.

Hi Sharon- I am looking to have braces but I don’t want traditional ones as they are not quick enough. I have been offered a job in Florence, Italy that I am due to start next December and I wanted to sort out my smile before I went if this was possible. I was advised to go and see a specialist orthodontist but I don’t know where there is one local to me so I figure I’d ask one then visit my normal orthodontist. basically I have crooked teeth, quite badly on the bottom and very slightly on the top, I know you can’t see them but what do you think would be the quickest way to sort them out? Can you have invisalign on one row (top in my case) then another form on the bottom or does it not work like that? what would you recommend for straightening crooked teeth quickly?

A.
Thanks for the question. Tradi… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

What is AcceleDent, how does it work and is it for me?

October 7th, 2011
Q.

I weant to know which treatment is best to sort out a misaligned bite? I was looking at your profile and at the article highlighting the vibrating mouth guard type device that re-aligns teeth. It says that this procedure is up to 30% quicker than braces and that the lady in the article’s incisor was back in place within her twelve months. this sounds like a good treatment to me 🙂 my two front teeth have crossed and I didn’t want to commit to having braces for only two teeth so I was looking at other treatments. Is this treatment very specific to symptoms or do i sound like I qualify for it? also how much would it cost compared to a brace or alternative. if its not for me what are the alternatives that do a similar job that you would recommend?

A.
Thanks for your question.

Is it only metal braces available on the NHS? How long would treatment time be?

October 3rd, 2011
Q.

I am trying to get braces for my child he needs them, he is currently 15 and had crossed teeth which are pretty bad, ive looked at your case studies on this website and was impressed with the way the teenage boys have turned out (the third case study on there) as my boy is in a similar point right now i wanted to know how long they would take to get to that point of being straight when they are overlapped and the gum line is uneven my son does not have an overlap/bite. what braces can i get that would sort this out are available on the NHS or is it just the traditional braces that are? i know you cannot be exactly sure but an estimate of how long it would take also would be amazing thank you
