Which Discreet Braces Would You Recommend?

May 20th, 2013
Q.

Hi there! I was wondering if you could help me with something? I’m a 32 year old professional, I work in an office role and I have to give presentations and that sort of thing to other large businesses. I am looking into cosmetic braces to fix my very misaligned teeth but I am looking for something that will not impact my speech OR my smile really. So something that is both discreet but practical and will work fast. Can you recommend anything? I would just like a general idea before I make an dental appointment. Thank you!

Why are my adult teeth moving out of position and what can be done to straighten them?

January 4th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Patel.
I’ve been noticing some change with my teeth recently as some of the top and bottom teeth are moving and becoming dislodged slightly and its causing the other teeth to move out of place and i’m afraid soon, all my teeth with of moved out of place and have all become crooked. Do you think I need a brace to straighten them out or do you think removing one of the teeth to give the others more room would help. If you think a brace is the answer i’m concerned about what affect this will have on my work life. Do you know of any less noticeable braces? Also, could you shed some light on why this might be happening now at 34? Thank you

I have a few issues with my teeth, am I still able to have a brace fitted?

May 10th, 2012
Q.

Hi Darsh.
My question is about whether or not I actually can have braces. I had overcrowding problems as a teenager, and after examining my teeth I can see that the dentist has extracted my lower left first premolar and my lower right lateral incisor. Therefore, my bottom teeth aren’t symmetrical. I also have two wisdom teeth that have impacted at an awkward angle. I’m not concerned about my lower teeth, I’m looking to have my upper teeth corrected. My upper teeth are symmetrical but not straight. Before I book a consultation, do these previous extractions on my lower teeth disqualify me for orthodontic treatment or make it more difficult/expensive? Thank you.

My teeth are misaligned and crooked but the hospital won’t even see me. Why?

March 5th, 2012
Q.

Hello Mr. Patel.  I’m 18 and from the West Midlands I have a problem with my teeth. They are crooked, mis-aligned and cause me a great deal of distress. Many people will never see me smile because I’m far too self conscious to do so.( I should note that both my teeth and gums are healthy and don’t cause my any discomfort apart from the occasional ache as my wisdom teeth came through last year.) I finally plucked up the courage to go to my first dental visit when I turned 18 but because of my age I do not qualify for free NHS orthodontic treatment. My dentist did refer me to the Hospital but it turned out I wasn’t eligible.

My problem is that the hospital have not seen my teeth and I do not believe they can make and informed opinion without looking at them. Even my dentist believes they would be of benefit to me. They couldn’t of seen pictures or X rays to make the decision because I only just had them done today

I apologise for the long message but I really would appreciate your professional opinion on what I should do because I’m really desperate to get my teeth fixed and I do not have the financial support to go private.

Thanks,

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

What is AcceleDent, how does it work and is it for me?

October 7th, 2011
Q.

I weant to know which treatment is best to sort out a misaligned bite? I was looking at your profile and at the article highlighting the vibrating mouth guard type device that re-aligns teeth. It says that this procedure is up to 30% quicker than braces and that the lady in the article’s incisor was back in place within her twelve months. this sounds like a good treatment to me 🙂 my two front teeth have crossed and I didn’t want to commit to having braces for only two teeth so I was looking at other treatments. Is this treatment very specific to symptoms or do i sound like I qualify for it? also how much would it cost compared to a brace or alternative. if its not for me what are the alternatives that do a similar job that you would recommend?
