What can I do to stop my Six Month Smiles braces going yellow?

November 28th, 2011
Q.

Hi There, I am getting a six month smile brace after a long time pondering whether I should or not, my main concern being that I’ve read online that they stain really easy and go yellow! Is this correct and also there are hardly any pictures of people wearing them is this because it looks awful Iam just really worried what it will look like and if it stains will it make me look like I have got yellow teeth for six months 🙁 also can a treatment sometimes be quicker longer than six months 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.

Can Six Month Smiles straighten my crooked, gapped teeth?

November 17th, 2011
Q.

Helo Dr Anoop. Ihave looked both at your profile and your website ad can see that one of your specialities is the six month smile treatment. I would like to know more about the six month smile treatment if this is possible. I have gaps in my teeth- these are not big and I think they will be smaller if my other crooked teeth are pulled back into shape, I will also need tooth whitening treatment as no matter ho much I brush my right upper canine it will not come white and is a slightly different shade to the rest of my teeth. based on this limited information how much do you think treatment will cost and so you think there will be any other implications that I will need to be aware of when looking into having this treatment?

The implants I received after brace treatment are stained what can I do?

November 16th, 2011
Q.

hi I have a query about my implants. 4/5 years ago I had my braces taken off and had two implants in place of my lower left side central and lateral incisors afterwards. The issue is that’s I’d just about got the teeth cleaned when I noticed the implants have now been stained and the rest of my teeth haven’t. I try to clean them as much as I can but I was wondering does the fact that they’re not bone means I can use something other than toothpaste on them. They really stand out because they’re offset to the rest of my teeth (to the centre) and in order to cover it I end up with a lop sided smile which looks just as bad. If there isn’t anything to clean them with would it be possible to get a replacement set or would this cost a lot of money? what would you recommend? thanks
