Will Invisalign work for me? And how discreet are they?

December 7th, 2012
Q.

Hi, this is just a general enquiry before I book a consultation with an orthodontist but I still hope you can provide a good insight. I don’t want to pay for a consultation only to be rejected for the treatment I want. I’m a 42 year old female, who works in an office environment. I have had crooked teeth for far too long now and looking for some braces which are discreet. The only problem is that I have 2 missing bottom teeth (on the left at the back) and I have a missing tooth at the top (left at the back) will invisalign or something like that still work for me? and would it work AS well? thank you for your time.

Is there any way to fund Invisalign treatment?

June 8th, 2012
Q.

Hi Raha, My daughter has recently had braces on, she really did need them, she was really unhappy with her appearance and didn’t like going to school. So we have had a brace fitted but her mood has gone even further downhill. I think she’s getting bullied at school. I was wondering if there would be a more discreet way for her to have this treatment. I know there are ways such as invisalign but they are very expensive, is there any funding that we can get or a finance option at your clinic? I’m not sure what the best way to tackle this one is? What is your advice? Thanks!

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

Can invisible braces move my underbite or will I still need surgery?

January 16th, 2012
Q.

i have crooked upper and lower teeth and an underbite (not a massive underbite but jutting out slightly more to the left). when i was 14 or 15 i was fitted with braces and told i’d have to wear them for two years, i think. i was told that i’d then have surgery to move my bottom jaw backwards and into place. after a few days of having the braces fitted, i couldn’t take the pain and cut the wires. i’m now 26 and this is a massive regret. i get jaw ache, the underbite and crookedness of the teeth has worsened and i’m constantly hiding my smile. i’d like to get it sorted. three questions: 1)would it be possible to get those invisible braces fitted? 2)how much would it cost in a private surgery, roughly, to have straight teeth and no underbite 3)how long would it take? thank you in advance

Would I have to wear fixed braces to close such a small gap?

January 11th, 2012
Q.

I have two small gaps in my top teeth, one of which is between my two front teeth. Both gaps are only approximatly 1/8 of an inch wide. I’ve had braces in the past, but I believe the gaps are a result of my negligence in wearing my retainer. I would like to close the gaps without having to wear braces on more, especially for such a small flaw. What course of action would you recommend?  I had train tracks the first time, would I have to have train track braces again or are there other braces I could try? Thank you

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

What orthodontic treatment should I have, and should I have my teeth whitened first?

December 20th, 2011
Q.

Hi Darsh I have decided that I want ot have a brace to sort out my crooked teeth. my teeth are not that bad and nobody had ever noticed them, they don’t bother me to much but I have now saved up what should be more than enough to have treatment. I am now considering what brace to have and am stuck between the hidden lingual ones the Damon braces and the invisalign but I’m told that you cant have these on both rows of teeth so I may not be able t have them. What I want to know though is whether or not it would be a good idea to have my teeth cleaned/whitened before having a brace so that the effects of a brace are lessened over the course of treatment or is this something you would not recommend?

What is the cost of invisible braces?

December 14th, 2011
Q.

I am a 35years old mother of 3 and I am currently in Nigeria but will be back in the Uk soon. My teeth is similar to the picture 7 of your gallery. What type of braces did you use and the cost? I am very worried because I can’t smile and it has given me a huge inferiority complex. I have seen other dentists here but I am not confident that they will do a good job. Please advice me on the braces, is invisalign or the hidden braces. Thanks fro your help as I await your reply. Thanks!

I have an overbite, how effective and discreet are Lingual braces for this condition?

November 30th, 2011
Q.

Hi. I have a slight open-bite, genetic, and also I was a thumb sucker when I was very little, and wore a brace when I was a young teenager. I also have slight over-crowding in my top and bottom teeth which I would really like tidying up, and am in my 40s.
What do you suggest, and can you help? I like the look of the lingual orthodontic as it seems much more discreet. Do you offer 3D pictures to give me an idea as to what my teeth could look like?

A.
