Am I too old for braces?

December 9th, 2013
Q.

Hello,
I am 45 and I believe that I am too old to have braces? I am lucky enough to be getting married next year in the Bahamas and my teeth have always been the bane of my life. They are crooked at the front on the bottom of my teeth. I really would like to surprise my husband to be with a brand new smile and I would like to feel confident on my big day. If I cannot have braces are there any other treatments I can have to make my teeth look straight? Obviously I would like to smile on my bid day and feel beautiful.Thank you doctor for giving your time, take care,

Is Dental bonding good for filling gaps on my four front teeth or is a brace the better option?

August 30th, 2012
Q.

Is Dental bonding good for filling medium gaps on four front teeth? What is the best dental bonding material? I considered veneers but the dentist said that dental bonding would be more suitable for my bite as veneers might break or chip off. I would like minimal preparation to my teeth. What about braces? Is there any type of brace that is suitable? My teeth are healthy and straight but have medium gaps to the four upper front teeth. Could cerec material be used for filling the gaps. Could this be done with minimal preparation of teeth so that it could be reversed if required.

Will my veneers and tooth extractions affect my chance of having brace treatment?

December 20th, 2011
Q.

Dear Sharon, I am 48 years old and have always dreamed of having straight teeth but through the years it has always been put aside for another day, until now… I have seen an advert on Inman alligner braces or STb Lingual Braces. If I have 2 veneers, one either side of my two front teeth and 2 extractions at the top towards the back, in your experience would I be possibly unsuitable for brace work?
Many thanks,

I have a crack across my front tooth and am afraid that my braces make it worse, what can I do?

November 11th, 2011
Q.

Adam Thorne; I am experiencing a bit of trouble with my braces. I have traditional braces. I have a crack which goes across the corner of one of my front top teeth, im worried this will in time break, Im trying to prevent this from doing so. the issue I then have is that if it does break of and i am certain this is imminent what can I do to protect the pulp in the middle? otherwise my tooth will sting every time I breathe in? is there a temporary solution whilst I wear my brace that’s different to that of a solution if I didn’t? ie. can it be bodged until i have my brace off? once its off what options do I have to fix the chipped tooth?

My son fell off his bike causing excessive damage to his mouth. What corrective treatment should I seek?

October 27th, 2011
Q.

I need advise on what to do about my son’s teeth. A few weeks back my son fell of his push bike and smashed his front teeth in spectacular fashion. as a result he has had on of the two central incisors removed and the other is out of line with the rest of the teeth, the tooth between the central incisors and the left canine is chipped. he can have a veneer to fix this and an implant to replace the now extracted tooth. this leaves the un-aligned tooth exposed. would it be recommended to have a brace on this? the issue is that three teeth in a row would have had orthodontic treatment. would there be any issue having a brace or should he have the brace now, then have the implant and veneer fitted afterwards?

I need a full smile makeover, with braces, veneers and tooth whitening. What should I have first?

October 27th, 2011
Q.

I need a full smile makeover, all my teeth are healthy and as far as I can tell I don’t have gum disease in any form as my teeth dont bleed, there’s no inflammation… anyway I was thinking I should start with the brace. my teeth are slightly over lapped and stained as well as one that has a large corner chipped off so I believe a veneer may be adequate for this. What would you say was best both in terms of a brace- basically what brace generally sorts out crooked teeth best/quickest and when would you have the brace, I’d need that veneer, teeth whitening and a brace and as such want the brace to take as little time as is possible for it to do so?

How do braces actually work and do i need them?

September 14th, 2011
Q.

Hi there last week my regular dentist told me that I will need need braces and that she’s referring me to a orthodontist during my check up. But I just don’t understand how braces work, you like when they are actually overlapping or crooked. how do they push your teeth into a straight line? does it not hurt all the time? Is there any way of straightening teeth without braces as i have heard alot of horror stories about them?
