I am wondering what kind of braces would be best for me?

February 7th, 2013
Q.

Hi Dr.Sepehrara,
I am inquiring about braces,my teeth have a big gap between the front two teeth and the right side of my teeth have a few wide gaps.I had braces when i was a teenager ,and also wore retainers for 3 months,but after a while they opened up again ,much more than before. The dentist said my jaw is too big and teeth are small.
I want to know if you have any service that could help improve my teeth structure and inevitably remove gaps.I can’t even smile with opening my mouth, because i dislike my teeth very much!
I am 20 years of age,and i am a full time student,so how would any costs affect me and if any discounts will be available if i proceed to take treatment from yourself.
Best Wishes

Is Dental bonding good for filling gaps on my four front teeth or is a brace the better option?

August 30th, 2012
Q.

Is Dental bonding good for filling medium gaps on four front teeth? What is the best dental bonding material? I considered veneers but the dentist said that dental bonding would be more suitable for my bite as veneers might break or chip off. I would like minimal preparation to my teeth. What about braces? Is there any type of brace that is suitable? My teeth are healthy and straight but have medium gaps to the four upper front teeth. Could cerec material be used for filling the gaps. Could this be done with minimal preparation of teeth so that it could be reversed if required.

I have a large overbite which pulls my bottom jaw back,there is also a large gap between my bottom and top teeth, what should I do?

April 19th, 2012
Q.

Hello, i find it difficult to place my teeth together in a comfortable position, and when they are in their comfiest position i am left with quite a big overbite which pulls my bottom jaw back, it makes my lip stick out and it doesn’t look that nice. Even in this position my teeth do not fit together properly. I usually just close my mouth and do not shut my teeth together. My front teeth do not stick out but there is a large gap between my top and bottom teeth, I can nearly fit my little finger in the gap. When I am sleeping I find it difficult as my jaw just opens and I find I dribble a lot. would it be worthwhile getting a brace fit and would it be the twin block style brace I would have to go for? Thanks

Having lost a premolar what should I do regarding the gap left behind – orthodontics and implants?

March 30th, 2012
Q.

Hi Darsh,
I have lost an upper premolar (some root still present) and intend to get an implant there are however a few things I would like to know first. first of all; A) Can my teeth still be straightened (both arches) even if this ‘gap’ is present?
B) If so, is there one particular system that you would recommend in this case over another?
C) Would you recommend getting the implant done first, and then the orthodontics after?

Many thanks for your advice in advance,
Regards,

A.

I’m not sure if it’s worth fixing the gap in my teeth or not?

March 16th, 2012
Q.

Hi
I just got back from the dentist and she said my teeth are fine except there is a tiny gap in between my teeth do you think it’s worth getting braces? I meant to ask him before I left but forgot as we got talking about my gums. Apparently you look really bad with braces and I don’t want to look bad in front of my friends or when I go out and I’m worried that if I don’t get braces it will get worse and instead of having them for 6 months I’ll have them for a year and half
Please reply

What is the quickest and most effective tooth straightening brace for me?

March 16th, 2012
Q.

I am considering having my upper & lower teeth straightened.
My main problem is one of the front lower teeth has over time been forced back, resulting in my bite not lining up correctly, as they have become a bit scattered.
Also a slight gap in my upper front teeth but my main concern is my right canine sticks out a bit from the others and is also slightly higher up in the gum and a yellowy colour, compared with the other teeth.

What type of brace would be the quickest, less visible AND most effective for me?
Please help!

I look forward to your response.

Regards
LP

I have a gap on the lower teeth and crowding on the upper. What should I do?

March 5th, 2012
Q.

Hello Darsh. I am in the unfortunate position of having crossed teeth on the top and a gap onn the bottom. when I was about twelve the dentist extracted a couple of my lowe teeth to make room for growth as they were starting to overcrowd, anyway these have moved apart which I am not happy with, indicating that he clearly didnt need to take out more than one and has created too much room. what Can I do about this as he was not sure about moving top teeth out and lower teeth in at the same time, I wont be having any work carried out there from now on and am looking for treatment that would be suitable for this situation? thanks a lot Dr
