I want discreet braces for my 12 year old daughter

October 17th, 2013
Q.

Hello,
I wondered if you could help me.My daughter is 12 years old and has been told that she will need orthodontic treatment. This is at an NHS clinic we go to. They say she will have to wear fixed braces on both her top and bottom teeth. My daughter is not at all happy about this and has been crying about the prospect. At first I thought she would come around to the idea but it has been going on for over a month now. If I was to look into private dental clinics would there be more discreet options for my daughter or would they be the same fixed braces? Thanks for your time.

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.

How does Six Month Smiles fare in comparision to traditional braces?

November 28th, 2011
Q.

Hello, I have gaps between a few of my front teeth and everyone, family and local dentist has suggested I have braces that’ll sort them out. yes they probably will. but I don’t want braces i have never heard one person say they didnt mind them- everybody hates them and everyone else hates to look at them! admittedly i know of nobody that has regretted treatment as they all now have straight teeth which is why I do want treatment of some form. I have looked at your website and see you are a top provider of six month smiles. these appeal to me massively for obvious reasons being that its quicker. does 6 month smiles have the same drawbacks as traditional braces just over a smaller amount of time? in terms of eating and so on. and will my teeth need no further corrective treatment/attention/retention after treatment is completed?

6MS uses clear brackets and to… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

How do Six Month Smiles work and are they expensive?

November 28th, 2011
Q.

hi Dr Maini ive looked at your profile and can see that you are the man I need to talk to about six month smiles. aside from the fact that they rectify your teeth how exactly do they work? do they go on like normal braces or what? my sister used to have braces and she hated them- I hated them for her they looked a mess and she had them for about 2 and a half years so naturally the idea of having them on for six months seems appealing to myself. also what is the price difference when it comes to six month smiles when compared with traditional braces on average? if they are massively expensive can I pay for them in instalment type methods?

Is the Inman Aligner the best option for my tooth crowding

November 9th, 2011
Q.

Hello, I want to have braces but I feel the may cost to much. I am forty and a single dad I have been told that If I want anything other than traditional braces it will get quite expensive, i have a little bit of money stashed up like but i wanted to know how much alternatives will cost, I’m in Dudley just outside Birmingham so I do manage to avoid London. I don’t want my kids seeing their old man with train track braces, you know what kids are like though if they saw an inman it’s be cool or whatever, I only have mild lower tooth crowding I just feel now is the time to do it, financially and whilst I’m still at this age no older. how much on average would you say an inman aligner would cost? what are the alternatives and (sorry) are there any dentist in Birmingham or nearby that you would recommend for this type of treatment? cheers

What is the fastest brace treatment for crooked teeth?

October 27th, 2011
Q.

Hi Sharon- I am looking to have braces but I don’t want traditional ones as they are not quick enough. I have been offered a job in Florence, Italy that I am due to start next December and I wanted to sort out my smile before I went if this was possible. I was advised to go and see a specialist orthodontist but I don’t know where there is one local to me so I figure I’d ask one then visit my normal orthodontist. basically I have crooked teeth, quite badly on the bottom and very slightly on the top, I know you can’t see them but what do you think would be the quickest way to sort them out? Can you have invisalign on one row (top in my case) then another form on the bottom or does it not work like that? what would you recommend for straightening crooked teeth quickly?

Thanks for the question. Tradi… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I have gaps and a few other minor problems, how much would a brace cost for me?

October 27th, 2011
Q.

hi ian,

i am 27 years old and am considering having a brace fitted to straighten my front four top teeth its mainly needed to close gaps however the outside left of the four is slightly twisted, facing inwards, and the middle two are ever so slightly sticking out, and would need bringing back. i know its difficult to give an estimate without seeing them but, i was hoping you could give me a rough idea of the sort of price it might cost me.

many thanks.

Can a brace save my under-bite and in doing so reduce wrinkles around my mouth?

October 19th, 2011
Q.

I need to have a brace to sort out a slight under bite. that’s the end of the problems as you will see in a minute but for now will any brace sort out an under bite or will it fix it at all? I see how it would fix an over bite as it pulls all the teeth in but how could it then push all the teeth back out? If a brace can fix this what kind of brace would be needed would it have to be a traditional fixed brace or can I have any of the more aesthetically pleasing ones? then we get to the next bit. I have wrinkles in my cheeks near my mouth and suspect they are there because my underbite is not supporting my face. I was hoping whether you could confirm whether this can happen and if a brace will get rid of them (if my teeth are sorted), if not whatsurgery can I have in and around the mouth to get rid of them? thank you doctor
