What is the best brace to correct my two front teeth?

January 11th, 2012
Q.

Hello there im trying to work out which type of braces would be the best for me so i can take a step towards finaly being confident enough to smile! My two front teeth on the top stick out and have a gap between them. In the past iv had 2 sets of braces, that was 6/7 years ago. The first was a retainer which seemed to make the gap bigger but i was told this would be fixed with the second brace. I always thought it would be a fixed brace but when it came to gettin it, i found it impossible to wear. It was a retainer on the top with a big chunk of plasic that fit over my bottom teeth. I couldnt wear it so gave up. Now im older i would like to be happy with my smile and any advice would help me out alot. Thanks

I’m considering Invisalign and Six Month Smiles but have been warned against any brace treatment. What should I do?

November 2nd, 2011
Q.

I am 54 years old. I am considering invisalign and Six Month Smiles treatments. I have one front tooth that protudes and two gaps between my top teeth as my one front tooth has moved further and further forward. (I had this corrected when younger but gradually moved back). My concern is a good friend who is a dentist has strongly advised me against having any treatment. This has given me cause for concern. I would appreciate your views on adults of my age embarking on orthodontist treatment.

Thanks for the question.

I’ve been told that a gap between my teeth has appeared as a result of chewing my nails. Is this possible and how can I fix it?

October 27th, 2011
Q.

hi i have a slight gap inbetween my two front teeth, it is slight and only started to appear a few months back- which is still quicker than i thought it could possibly occur! however, ive been told it could be due to the fact that i chew my nails a lot is this true it sounded like nonsense to me. have you ever seen patients where this has been the case? if it is and i stop chewing them will my teeth go back to its original position? didnt think so thats why im on here! would i need a full brace just to close a small gap (approx. 2mm but definitely growing) or is there anything else available to sort out this kind of issue? as you can tell im reluctant to have braces for what right now is a minor issue, on the grand scale of things, so I wanted to know what you recommend?

What are the advantages of the Inman Aligner?

October 12th, 2011
Q.

Hi I have crowded bottom teeth and am looking at having corrections applied but want to avoid having the older fixed braceas its ugly and slow. I was looking at the alternatives and having studied over 500 cases and been around the inman aligners for as long as you have I thought I’d ask you what would you say are the most obvious drawbacks of this method and is it the best for controlling/fixing over crowded teeth. I’ve been told the imans are quick but how quick when compared with the older technique. all in all would you say this was the better route to sorting out overcrowding or would you be put off or swayed by another technique- if so which would you say follows behind?

My teeth are beyond re-structural help. What can I do?

September 28th, 2011
Q.

I have several teeth that I believe are beyond re-structural help they are all healthy and well coloured but it would take a genius metal fabricator to get wire round these bad boys, however i need corrective treatment and was wondering for extreme cases of crowded teeth what would be the best option? ive toyed with the idea of having them removed and having implants as its only like 3/4 teeth? obviously id prefere to keep my teeth but they really are all over the place. so if they were only a little out of line invislign would surely be the obvious treatment as the teeth don’t have to move far and you can barely see it. at the other end of the scale like I am what would you recommend looking at and am I well off in my idea or have you seen it done before?
