My front left teeth are not straight, i was told it was caused by my lower teeth, what options do i have other than braces?

October 12th, 2012
Q.

Hello there. I have had root canal treatment on 3 of my front teeth. My two front left teeth are not straight. One is angled a little further back than it should be whilst the other is at an angle and protruding forward. The rest of my teeth are fairly straight. I have looked into ortho before and was told that it was caused by my lower teeth. Any treatment would have to be for life as my bottom teeth would force my top teeth crooked again. Do I have any options to have these teeth straightened other than using a brace? Thanks for your time Anoop!

I’ve been referred to have my wisdom teeth out, i also have an under bite that i want sorting out, what are my options?

October 12th, 2012
Q.

I have been referred to have wisdom teeth out as the lower left is on the jawbone. I asked my dentist a year ago about this as I was concerned my teeth would move and would affect how straight they were. I also have an underbite and my bottom front teeth have been moving since the wisdom teeth started to come through- now these have moved forward making the underbite more noticeable again. For a few years now I was at an edge to edge bite for the front teeth but this is now changing. Just wondering what my options are as I am 23 now but am really not happy with my teeth. I am really conscious of the underbite, more so now that my bottom teeth have moved, I know I can have an operation on the jaw but want to avoid that? Thanks

I am not seeing any improvements from my brace, should i keep wearing it?

July 16th, 2012
Q.

Hello Mr. Patel

Right now I have had ceramic braces on for the next four months because of my cross bite. My teeth all line up on the right side of my mouth but my front top teeth aren’t sitting directly on top of my front bottom teeth, and the left side of my mouth isn’t lined up. I also have a bond on a front top tooth making it a little bigger than the other. I’m wearing elastics, and have been for the past four months, but I’m not seeing any improvements. Should I tell my orthodontist to just take them off? My treatment has lasted two years.

I’m worried about having my train track brace taken off, can I have some reassurance?

June 29th, 2012
Q.

Hi, I can’t quite believe it’s been two years since I had my brace on but in 3 weeks time I’m getting them off. However I’m a bit worried about the process, a few of my friends have said that it really hurt when they have to grind the cement of my teeth. I’m probably been silly but I was just trying to read up about it, could you tell me a bit more about how they take the brace off? It’s a normal train track one. I’ve not been very brave throughout my treatment to be honest, always worrying and crying 🙁 I didn’t have to have any teeth out before I had it on, if I would of had to I don’t think I would of got a brace. Hopefully it will be okay, but I’d love some reassurance 🙂

I like the look of six month smiles, are they actually that good?

April 11th, 2012
Q.

Hello Anoop. I have looked at various methods and brace types in terms of orthodontics now for some time and have pondered and dilly dallied all the time also! I am now trying to get to get together a plan of action so I can get this done. I have looked at invisible braces as a nice aesthetic option when I stumbled upon the six month smiles. what I wanted to know was whether or not they are a great option? by this I was wondering that as they fix teeth in six months then why isn’t everyone who has braces not having this treatment. would you consider it a goo treatment worth having?

With gaps and slanted teeth, would I be suitable for braces?

March 20th, 2012
Q.

I have gaps between all of my top teeth and two of my top teeth are a little crooked and slanted, I really want braces but I don’t know if my dentist will let me have them, do you think that is enough of a reason for me to get braces, and should I go see him or can I make an appointment straight with the orthodontist? I really want braces as my teeth annoy me and to me they look horrible so could you please help me. Thank you, this could really be of a great help

Does teeth whitening come included in the price of getting a brace or not?

February 24th, 2012
Q.

MR Maini. I am looking to get orthodontic treatment at some point in the next few months and will need a consultation with a specialist at some point I know. I was thinking that if i have the traditional braces i will need some form of tooth whitening after the treatment had finished but if i have six month smiles or a damon brace that are considerably quicker would i still need this kind of treatment? if i do have to have this treatment would i have to pay extra or would it be included in the initial price? I anticipate your response Dr thank you

Should I have braces now as a student or later?

February 17th, 2012
Q.

Hello. Dear Adam, Braces are something I have contemplated for while now. I’m not sure as Im 20 already and don’t know when the idea time to get them would be. I dont particularly want them until I have finished University, but then I dont want them whilst Im going for job interviews…etc.
If for example I do have them now and the treatment time is approximately 18 months or so.. If I leave it and have them done in two years will the treatment time have gotten longer as I assume my teeth will be more crossed than they already are, or is this just not the case? Thank you Mr Thorne I appreciate your time.

My arches won’t line up as a result of thumb sucking as a child. Would orthodontics provide a solution?

February 17th, 2012
Q.

Hi Mr Patel,
I was just wondering if you can give me rough idea what treatment you think i would need. I have an overbite due to sucking my thumb when i was young and i my top & bottom arches do not match up, i know you wont know 100% what treatment till you see me but if you could just give me a rough idea. I have seen another dentist and paid quite a bit just for a consultation & was not happy with what they told me as i believe they were just trying to get as much money as they could out of me. I do have all the details they wrote about my teeth if that would help. I am hoping i can have braces that can be put behind the teeth, do you do that?
Also do you charge for consultations? If so how much?
Hope to hear from you soon

Is it possible to have a brace without the need for tooth extraction?

February 17th, 2012
Q.

Hi I have long considered braces as my teeth have overlapped, I am currently 24 and as such I belive I have stopped growing and I dont intend on putting masses of weight on so my teeth should stay pretty much where they are now. I have been looking at the procedure involved when having braces and I am not overly keen on having a tooth out. Im no dentist but after looking at the size and distance of/between teeth I dont think I need it. I’m sure there is a name for this procedure. could you recall it for me if I am right, If not could you please advise me, thanks a lot, it’s appreciated.
