I’m not sure if it’s worth fixing the gap in my teeth or not?

March 16th, 2012
Q.

Hi
I just got back from the dentist and she said my teeth are fine except there is a tiny gap in between my teeth do you think it’s worth getting braces? I meant to ask him before I left but forgot as we got talking about my gums. Apparently you look really bad with braces and I don’t want to look bad in front of my friends or when I go out and I’m worried that if I don’t get braces it will get worse and instead of having them for 6 months I’ll have them for a year and half
Please reply

How long does it take to have braces and is it painful?

March 16th, 2012
Q.

Dear Adam Thorne. I would like to go through all aspects of getting a brace. but I’m not going to as this will consume a large amount of time and is usually left until a face to face appointment. however I would like to know about getting braces and how long it takes to put them on. I have heard that you have to have the brace put on a bit at a time or is this just talk. I had assumed it could just be placed there and then? also id there any pain involved when having the brace put on? I know this is two questions sorry, but thanks for your time 🙂

When will I begin to see a change in my teeth with Invisalign?

March 5th, 2012
Q.

Hello Ms Sepehrara I need to askk you a question about invisalign. I have read your profile and have looked on your site and can see that this is your forte as such. so then, I have been wearing the Invisalign braces for just under two weeks and am due for my second set soon. I have been told that there will be four sets of these braces/aligners used. I have seen no apparent difference up to now and was wondering how the changes required would be made over the next three at this rate…
Could you please tell me hen I would start seeing improvements in my teeth shape or whether I should have already and some things wrong. thank you Dr for your time.

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.

Is there an alternative to straighten my teeth other than fixed braces with long treatment time?

February 9th, 2012
Q.

Hi there,
I am 36 years old man and I suffer with a lot of problems with my teeth. Very crooked, crowed and terrible bite and misalignment teeth especially the canine tooths. Both on top and bottom. II have seen a lot of orthodontists that all conclude that I need a proper traditional braces therapy and allow at least 3-4 years to provide results in my case.
I come across your profile and images of your case studies. after I search for more info for the inman aligners.
I wonder if these new aligners can help complicated cases as well.
I have to say that I am interested for some improvement at least if possible. I am not well prepared to use traditional braces for 3 years.
I am also interested for other ways to fix my smile despite the fact that I know I can destroy healthy teeth.
Looking forward to your feedback.

Thanks

I only need to move one tooth, are conventional braces necessary?

January 30th, 2012
Q.

Hello Anoop. I have wondered for some time about braces. I have always refrained from looking into it as all I have ever pictured is the traditional braces like train tracks and I dont want them. I only have one rouge tooth that drifts across. its the right incisor and it drifts across the left so it’s blatantly obvious to all those that meet me! It really knocks my confidence and I’m not sure a full conventional brace is at all necessary to fix what seems like a small problem in moving one tooth only. given the circumstances and with you not being able to see me and the tooth in question what you suggest t solve hos problem as quickly as possible? thanks Dr for your time and considering my question.

Can I pay for my braces with a payment plan?

January 11th, 2012
Q.

Hi I would like to have my teeth straightened and was wondering if you can let me know the costs and benefits. (will I be entitled to pay thru benefits) also I have a tooth that has grown under my existing one and was wondering what treatment would i need to recover from this? How will the treatments take place and how many occasions will this be then settled? Please can you advise me further. To be honest I would be looking to have braces that you can’t see that much, rather than train track braces, but whatever you recommend doctor 🙂 Thanks

My orthodontic treatment is taken longer than expected, should I be worried?

December 20th, 2011
Q.

I have braces for 2 and a half years so far. My problem was overcrowded teeth, but I only had problem with the cuspids (they were standing out of line). While trying to put them in order, my orthodontist misplaced the upper jaw (the midline started moving to the right, together with my left central incisor). Now he is trying to get them back, but it is taking too long… He actually solved my primary problem in only 3 months, but the one that occurred during is taking 2 years SO FAR.

Q.

Hi There, I am getting a six month smile brace after a long time pondering whether I should or not, my main concern being that I’ve read online that they stain really easy and go yellow! Is this correct and also there are hardly any pictures of people wearing them is this because it looks awful Iam just really worried what it will look like and if it stains will it make me look like I have got yellow teeth for six months 🙁 also can a treatment sometimes be quicker longer than six months thank you
