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

Should I have braces now as a student or later?

February 17th, 2012
Q.

Hello. Dear Adam, Braces are something I have contemplated for while now. I’m not sure as Im 20 already and don’t know when the idea time to get them would be. I dont particularly want them until I have finished University, but then I dont want them whilst Im going for job interviews…etc.
If for example I do have them now and the treatment time is approximately 18 months or so.. If I leave it and have them done in two years will the treatment time have gotten longer as I assume my teeth will be more crossed than they already are, or is this just not the case? Thank you Mr Thorne I appreciate your time.

Iam starting the treatment shortly and wasn’t made aware of this and iam abit worried this will stand out, are they really noticeable? and does this brace system stain at all? with the brackets being white.Thankyou for your help

Can braces close gaps and fix crooked teeth at the same time?

October 12th, 2011
Q.

I am 67 and wanted to sort out my teeth so my grand kids will remember me to be a perfect bill of health. they are crooked but don’t overlap because many of them have gaps. I wanted to know if braces could sort out both gaps and crooked teeth at the same time? I’ve looked at my teeth and there definitely wouldn’t be gaps if they were closer there’s still plenty of tooth there. there is I think a number if issues with doing this at my age one being time, I need to do this as quickly as possible and secondly at a reasonable budget. do you know of any financial help I could receive?
which system would be best for me based on what you know?
