What are the most discreet braces available today?

November 30th, 2011
Q.

Hello ADam. I have heard good things about Harley Streets work and as such wasted no time in contacting you when I learned you were part of this team. I am thinking about getting a brace but want it to be as discreet as possible. based on your knowledge in this field and experience what would you say is the best/most discreet brace. I’m not bothered about speed so long as my teeth are straight and as few people as possible can tell orthodontic treatment is taking place in the interim, I work in an office and regularly called out for meetings and presentations so discretion is key for me. Any information you can give would be of massivle help. I live not far away in whitechapel so getting across wouldn’t be an issue but I am a little nervous with dental suits so the best think for me to do is to be clued up first. then come when its necessary. thank

Q.

Hello, i am 17 years old, all my teeth on the right side of my jaw are fine, and i only have 1 tooth on the left that is at the top of my gum, it stick out and is really annoying! can see it when i smile. i hate it. all my bottom ones are fine,but i really don’t want to get train tracks because i don’t want big braces for my 18th birthday, if there anything else that will sort this? without having to pay 3000 for the clear braces?, would it be good to get it taken out and them get a cap also my wisdom teeth are coming through and im scared thats gonna mess my teeth up even more!

My second Invisalign retainer is nowhere near as tight as my first, is this normal?

November 9th, 2011
Q.

To Raha Sepehrara,

I live not too far from Birmingham and am currently on a course of Invisalign. I had my first retainer, which was was fine. I found it very strange at first as there was a lot of tension on my teeth seemingly everywhere. I love how discreet they are though, I do however have a Problem, the second retainer I have just been given does not have anywhere near the same amount of retention as the first did. I don’t now whether to have another made or whether this time taken will hinder the treatment time and may cost more. firstly do you think it would carry an additional cost to have another one made but before that would you say it was necessary to have one made at all? please, with your experience being vital in this field, could you advise me on what my next move should be. thanks a lot

Can AcceleDent be used in conjunction with an existing brace system or would you be required to start again?

November 1st, 2011
Q.

Hello I have heard about Acceldent and wanted to know if it was to be used in conjunction with braces and what types if so as i presume it doesnt fit all types? I thought this may present issues if it went say with a traditional braces as the vibrateing and accelerated movement wuold loosen wires quick having an almost negative effect on the brace? if this is the case then does it mean the patient has to then visit the dentist more in order to have the brace altered .
also If I want this treatment for example would I have to start treatment again or would I be able to intergrate it with my current fixed device and system?

Which braces are best for my teeth?

August 1st, 2011
Q.

Hi,I am concerned that I need braces,as I am going to university this September,and would really like them to be discreet and as unnoticeable as possible. I have looked into things such as lingual braces and Invisalign,and was wondering what your professional opinion of these treatment methods is. Price is definitely a factor,as I am only covered by the NHS up until the age of 19,and the severity of my problem is ,I doubt high enough to warrant any NHS treatment. My problem with my teeth is that my two front teeth (upper)are being pushed back by the ones adjacent to them,possibly due to overcrowding. The lower teeth are all straight,and do not bother me at all.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

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
