If i have to have a brace so be it, but what are the alternatives?

September 21st, 2011
Q.

Hello i’m 17 and I think I may have an issue with my front lower teeth, firstly I was wondering whether there should be any play in teeth, in terms, of wobbling/mobility because gums and bone are not quite metal and concrete I assumed there would be, if this is the case there should be no issue they just seemed to be wobbly and having never noticed it before I thought there may be an issue. However I was just wondering because my teeth are becoming crowded and I may need a brace to pull them apart? I don’t particularly want a brace however if its necessary i’m not fussed, I would like to know what the best alternates are for potentially crowded teeth? Thanks for taking the time out to read this.

I have crooked teeth but at 18 must I have braces?

September 14th, 2011
Q.

Hey doc, I was just wondering, my teeth are really quite crooked and some overlap slightly. I am 18years old and as such don’t really want to be wearing metal braces for the next 3 years. Do you think it would it be possible to get fixed braces now to sort out my overlapping and then switch to invisalign to generally straighten my teeth out afterwards? or is this not possible/ maybe not practical? thanks for any help you can give as i really do not fancy having braces until I am 21!!!

Is there a suitable braces treatment that isn’t metal for my tooth condition?

July 8th, 2011
Q.

Hello Dr Patel, I am interested in having the Inman Aligner Brace because it is a lot faster than other braces but my dentist says that my teeth are too crooked for this treatment and I have to have some of my teeth removed for braces and the best treatment for me is metal braces. Is there an alternative to metal braces if you have very crowded teeth as I do not want anyone to see me wearing metal braces. I know there is Invisalign but my dentist even discouraged me from this saying that it will take 3 years with invisalign compared to 18 months with metal braces. Can you also give me an idea of how much this treatment would cost even if its a ballpark estimate. Thanks
