Q.

Hey Raha, Iam due to get fixed metal braces in the coming weeks, but i’av heard lots of horror storys about braces though. such as snapping wires, ulcers and cuts, broken brackets and bands. I av tried researching it but all I can find is pictures and storys that make me feel worse. Is there anything that you could tell me to put my mind at ease? I really need these braces fitting but with how I feel at the moment then Iam not going to get them. Thanks so much for reading this and I hope I havent wasted your time

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

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
