I am uncertain about my lingual braces

January 8th, 2013
Q.

After having undergone 6 months of social 6 lingual brace treatment I have found the results to be disappointing & believe that my case was a little too severe for such an appliance. I am now looking into getting a full arch lingual brace to correct alignment & crowding problems. In order to achieve this it’s evident that the arch on my left side needs to be expanded outwards (from my canine back) to create a more rounded/arched shape & in doing so create space to alleviate the crowding of my canine & lateral incisor & as a result allow correct alignment. My question is can the full arch lingual brace perform this sort of correction or would I be better off going with an arch expander first to correct the arch shape & then the lingual brace to align everything as desired? With thanks.

What types of braces are used for six month smiles and social six treatments?

March 30th, 2012
Q.

To Mr Anoop Maini, I have long wondered about six month smiles and social six type treatments. basically as to what appliances they use and why. For example, looking at the six month smile would it not be possible to have this with one of those lingual braces so the treatment is fast and invisible or does the brace HAVE to be on the front of the teeth. also the same can be said of the social six, does the brace have to be like it is or can you not have incognito fittings on it? thank you I know this is two questions but thanks again.

Would social six treatment be a good option for me?

March 16th, 2012
Q.

Hello Mr Thorne. I would like to know a little more about social six braces please. my lower teeth between my two canines are all squashed together and I think a social six brace would be perfect. I think they are too crooked to be treated using Invisalign? but the rest of the teeth I don’t think will benefit from a full brace. anyway, do you think it is possible for teeth to be too crooked to have the social six or will they fir on anything? also by only moving these teeth are they quicker? thanks

I have six teeth and a partial, what can I do to make them all align?

January 31st, 2012
Q.

Hi, On my bottom, I only have 6 teeth in the front, and a partial. One of the end teeth is leaning inward, and is causes bad wrinkles around my mouth. It is getting worse, What can I do to fix this? Can It be corrected without braces, also would I be a candidate for the iman aligners? I am on a tight budget. I need to fix this because my new partial was shaped badly to mask the leaning tooth. Now my right side of my smile is way off. Please help by telling me some options. Thanks

What are the most discreet braces available today?

November 30th, 2011
Q.

Hello ADam. I have heard good things about Harley Streets work and as such wasted no time in contacting you when I learned you were part of this team. I am thinking about getting a brace but want it to be as discreet as possible. based on your knowledge in this field and experience what would you say is the best/most discreet brace. I’m not bothered about speed so long as my teeth are straight and as few people as possible can tell orthodontic treatment is taking place in the interim, I work in an office and regularly called out for meetings and presentations so discretion is key for me. Any information you can give would be of massivle help. I live not far away in whitechapel so getting across wouldn’t be an issue but I am a little nervous with dental suits so the best think for me to do is to be clued up first. then come when its necessary. thank

I want Social 6 braces, but am suffering from toothache, is this likely to affect my brace treatment?

November 30th, 2011
Q.

Hi Anoop I have struggled now for a while with terrible toothache. the dentist put a white filling or something in which has since fallen out. no idea what it was. anyway that tooth has been giving me bother for about 2/3 months aching like it has. I don’t know what’s up with it but I want a brace and am worried that this blumming thing is going to hinder the implementation of one. I don’t know what I should do with the tooth. its my third from back on the bottom right hand side of my jaw. what would you recommend in this senario. If I have the social six treatment (as this i believe is all thats necessary with the overlapped teeth being at the front between the canines) this would surely be unaffected and any necessary treatment can be carried out? what are your thoughts DR, Thank you very much

I like the look of Incognito lingual braces. Would you say these are the best type of cosmetic brace?

October 7th, 2011
Q.

Ive looked at lingual braces as I dont want the normal ones. ive seen that there are issues with patients who take these treatment having problems with their speech and diets. Ive looked at the incognito type and correct me in thinking this but being the design it is it looked like doesn’t extrude off the teeth as much as the social 6 fiitment type if this is the case then surely speech will be affected less and quicker to get over? is this the case? also how long- abouts does this type of treatment take to straighten teeth? wuold you say this was the best option for cosmetic type braces when it comes to straightening crooked teeth or is there a better method, for example which would be the quickest, which one os most practical? im looking to have them done you see and if im paying out for the best treatment I need the better methods.

My age and job mean I don’t want train tracks. What’s the price difference between these and lingual braces?

September 21st, 2011
Q.

HI there- straight in there firstly what are the cost of lingual braces compared to traditional braces or do they differ massively on a case by case scale- if so what’s about average? and secondly which is best? I’m basically looking for the quickest fix to crooked teeth but I don’t want train tracks due to my job and age. At 29 i go to a lot of big meetings and don’t want to be sat trying to nail a deal when im slavering everywhere and looking like a teenager (bit over the top but you see what i mean) ive seen these six month smiles and everything advertised but I honestly don’t know which is best? my teeth aren’t crazy overlapped just slightly- what are thoughts and recommendations? thanks very much
