How can i get straight teeth?

October 24th, 2013
Q.

My two front teeth bend severely inwards but over the years my dentist hasn’t pushed for me to have anything done about it. In the past I have been told that in order to wear braces I would first have to have some teeth extracted as I have overcrowding.So, say I have some teeth extracted-then what braces would be best to make my two front teeth straight and realign the rest of my teeth? I don’t want the most expensive treatment but I don’t want them to really stand out…Any help or advice you could pass my way would be fantastic. Thanks

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.

In our clinic and I am sure ot… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Does it hurt when you get braces?

June 17th, 2013
Q.

currently I’m eleven years old and a few weeks ago I had a visit to the orthodontist’ and she asked me when do I want my braces put on and I said next year (my teeth are so crooked) because I was scared that I’d be the only person in my school to have braces; now I feel like I want them done today ( we may consider getting them in a month) or so although I’m still a bit worried. My Questions’:
Does it hurt when you get braces?
what procedures do I have to go through?
how long do I keep my braces on for?
and…Which colours are available for braces?

Thank you

Which Discreet Braces Would You Recommend?

May 20th, 2013
Q.

Hi there! I was wondering if you could help me with something? I’m a 32 year old professional, I work in an office role and I have to give presentations and that sort of thing to other large businesses. I am looking into cosmetic braces to fix my very misaligned teeth but I am looking for something that will not impact my speech OR my smile really. So something that is both discreet but practical and will work fast. Can you recommend anything? I would just like a general idea before I make an dental appointment. Thank you!

Q.

Hello there do you know the best way to straighten tooth fangs out, or drag them down or whatever you do to them? I have had this problem for a few years now and I just think it makes my smile look like something out of the predator movies and I would like to change that-obviously! 🙂 What is your recommended brace treatment for this problem and how long is lit likely to take to see results? I don’t mind have fixed braces, but if there is a more discreet brace that can do the job i would be very interested to hear about it! thank you for your time

Will I have a gap in my mouth after my tooth extraction?

February 14th, 2013
Q.

Hi I’m just wondering if I need braces because I recently had a dentist appointment and he was looking at my teeth and said it looked a bit overcrowded. I have like a vampire tooth sticking out which he noticed and he said would I like it taking out? Does it bother me? And I said no it doesn’t bother me. Recently though, I have come to realise that I feel uncomfortable when I smile because of that tooth. So I’m thinking if I get that tooth out will it just leave a gap or will my dentist give me braces?

What treatment can I have for my chipped tooth so I can wear a brace?

January 23rd, 2013
Q.

When I was about 13 I chipped my front tooth and because I was so young my dentist put porcelain over it and over another tooth that was supposedly chipped. Now being 19 the porcelain has chipped a little and, being originally discoloured but is now very discoloured . I want the unnecessary porcelain taken off my one canine and a cap on my front tooth and my teeth whitened.I need the crown to cover my chipped tooth. Would i then be able to have a brace? I will be getting my teeth whitened but I don’t know whether I can a) have the crown before the brace and b) have the tooth whitening before or after. For such a seemingly small problem I am having to go through all this, could you please pass me any knowledge of this situation? thankyou

January 8th, 2013
Q.

Hello, I do wonder if you can help, for years I have wanted a straight smile and now being 19 and going into the performing industry I really need my teeth straightening, however I have a small overbite and the last time I tried to go for a brace was when I was 14 and they gave me this metal palette upper and lower to move my jaw in place before I had the train tracks, but at 14, I couldnt speak with this brace in my mouth it was horrible and i never ended up proceeding the treatment, I was wondering if i was to have a brace, could I possibly not move my jaw and just get my top teeth straightened? I’m a student, and worried about fees too so I need to keep it cost effecient but still i need to straighten them. Would be excellent to hear back from you, and your advice + suggestions. Thankyou very much , Demi Jay

Should we change dentist so that my daughter can get orthodontic help?

January 8th, 2013
Q.

Hi there, my daughter has just turned ten years old and has just stopped sucking her thumb. My current dentist says that her jaw is still forming and all the appropriate teeth have not come in yet. He does not offer a brace facility but would refer me to one.Is it wise for all the family to move to another dentist where the dentist treats kids on the NHS if a brace may be required and for my husband and myself to go private as we are now? I am just thinking for the future as she has sucked her thumb for so long.
