When is best for me to have braces?

November 2nd, 2011
Q.

hello doctor Patel (SO). I have been referred to my orthodontist from my dentist with recommendations to have braces fitted. I have crooked teeth and was promised to have them done when I was younger. I feel the dentist let me down and wanted me to be of an age whereby I had to pay for them- which I am now at. I feel a bit gutted about this but the issue is that I left college in June and took a year out before hopefully going to University next September, in this time I had hoped to travel. my main concern is that braces and appointments once I have had them fitted will hinder me from doing this which I am not going to get many more chances to do. Thing is I definitely don’t want them at uni! If I took a year out again between second and third year and travelled then, do you think I could have a brace now that would pull crooked teeth to a normal position by next September (obviously I can last a few months of uni with brace), so we’re looking at a year or so, what should I look at?

How frequently will I need to visit my dentist once my braces are fitted?

Q.

Hello, I saw an offer on Groupon to have Invisible STb Lingual Braces on either your top or lower teeth for £975 (inc. retainer). However, in the next few months, I will be travelling on and off. Can you please let me know how frequently I would need to have appointments once the braces are fitted – and is it a big problem if I am away for, say a month, and can’t have the appointment during that time. Any other advice you have would be appreciated too. Thank you. Louise
