How is Six Month Smile different to Invisalign and the Inman Aligner?

May 10th, 2012
Q.

Hi there , I am a little confused as to what six month smiles offer. I respect that they are quick and so on but if i had Invisalign or the inman aligner for example they would be much quicker. what I don’t understand is how can these three methods take less than/up to six months when the traditional braces take up to two years? what exactly do they do that these other methods don’t and if it’s nothing then why is this method still in circulation and offered as the main orthodontic treatment? I want braces you see and I’m worried that by vying for a quicker option I will be vying for the wrong option. I want the best and as such need to know these things? cheers

Would you be able to fix my crooked front and bottom teeth in six months?

April 19th, 2012
Q.

Dr.Patel, I have been researching the “Six-Month Smile” and seeing your case studies and reading up on you, I hope you can help me! But…I may be a challenge. I had braces twice in my life; in my teens and again early 20’s. I am now 50 and notice my front top teeth moving, and the bottom 4 front have always been crooked. Can you fix them in 6 months? And the challenge of all… is that I live in the Caribbean! But, I travel to the UK twice a year. I plan to be there for 6 weeks from mid-June. If I send you pictures, can you look and perhaps help me. As I get older, my face is not as full, and my teeth more prominent and I want to at least age with a pretty smile!
I eagerly look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely

A.

What are the different types of braces as I don’t want train tracks?

September 28th, 2011
Q.

im looking to get braces to fix my crooked teeth and will consult this with my dentist over the next week or two there is no way getting tradition ones. I was wanted to know which you think is the best braces taking everything into account, budget, duration of treatment, aesthetics, comfort as well as final result to sort out overlapping teeth (bottom mainly but its started in the top arch now)? i like the look of the inmans but ive heard theyre expensive but they are also meant tot be quick arent they? also the social 6 brace looks good but i was wondering whether the back teeth would need to move to help prevent crowding in order to give the front room to move or do they push the back ones out? i dont know enough could you help and advise please i want to turn up at the dentist with some knowledge?

Can I still get braces after chipping my tooth?

July 19th, 2011
Q.

Hi doctor

i was all set for getting braces, when i fell and chipped my front tooth. I have had the tooth checked out and had it fixed so its a whole tooth again, but i just wanted to know whether i could still have treatment, as it is my two front teeth that i was mainly going to have sorted out with the braces. The brace i was going to have was a 6 month smile braces, would I still be able to have the brace. It was only a little nick at the bottom of my tooth that was missing.

thank you
