I want to straighten my severely crossed lower teeth but I have a chipped tooth, what do I do first?

February 2nd, 2012
Q.

Hi Anoop maini. all my lower teeth have crowded severely. I chipped one recently and was hoping to have a veneer placed on it or some bonding. I decided to wait and find out if this should be done before or after. What I want to know though is if I can any treatment to fix the chipped tooth temporarily whilst wearing braces. I had planned on getting Damon braces as they are fast and fairly discreet unless there is a better option if this makes a difference at all. thanks for your time Dr.

What’s the quickest treatment for me: Invisalign or Six Month Smiles?

January 30th, 2012
Q.

HELLO Mr Maini. I would like to ask you about orthodontics, I have heard now for a while that there are orthodontic treatments available that are either quicker than traditional methods or ones that help/work along side, I have looked at six month smiles along with invisalign. I believe I would be a good candidate for Invisalign given the state my teeth are in (not too severe). but i have also now spotted AcceleDent that runs coherently with treatment to speed it up. If i am looking for a quick treatment (before the end of this year) which option would you say is consistently best to go for the invisalign, acceledent or six month smiles, as I know this is a your forte as such. thanks Dr

I only need to move one tooth, are conventional braces necessary?

January 30th, 2012
Q.

Hello Anoop. I have wondered for some time about braces. I have always refrained from looking into it as all I have ever pictured is the traditional braces like train tracks and I dont want them. I only have one rouge tooth that drifts across. its the right incisor and it drifts across the left so it’s blatantly obvious to all those that meet me! It really knocks my confidence and I’m not sure a full conventional brace is at all necessary to fix what seems like a small problem in moving one tooth only. given the circumstances and with you not being able to see me and the tooth in question what you suggest t solve hos problem as quickly as possible? thanks Dr for your time and considering my question.

Will six month smiles bring a high tooth down?

December 23rd, 2011
Q.

Hi Anoop. I live in London and I have a query about braces. I have a high tooth above my right upper incisor. its in place of the tooth behind it and is very unsightly. aside from this I also have small gaps between the rest of my teeth. I have been trying to short-list some brace systems since I found out there was essentially more than just train tracks. the problem is they’re all meant to do so much that this is almost impossible. I could only cross off the inman aligner and the invisalign treatments as the problem is located on my upper jaw and requires the teeth to go in both directions not just sideways. considering this and the remaining brace systems. I then saw the six month smiles and wondered to myself whether i could have the problems with my teeth sorted in six months! this was exciting but i wanted to know if I would fit the criteria for this type of treatment.

What can I do to stop my Six Month Smiles braces going yellow?

November 28th, 2011
Q.

Hi There, I am getting a six month smile brace after a long time pondering whether I should or not, my main concern being that I’ve read online that they stain really easy and go yellow! Is this correct and also there are hardly any pictures of people wearing them is this because it looks awful Iam just really worried what it will look like and if it stains will it make me look like I have got yellow teeth for six months 🙁 also can a treatment sometimes be quicker longer than six months thank you

How does Six Month Smiles fare in comparision to traditional braces?

November 28th, 2011
Q.

Hello, I have gaps between a few of my front teeth and everyone, family and local dentist has suggested I have braces that’ll sort them out. yes they probably will. but I don’t want braces i have never heard one person say they didnt mind them- everybody hates them and everyone else hates to look at them! admittedly i know of nobody that has regretted treatment as they all now have straight teeth which is why I do want treatment of some form. I have looked at your website and see you are a top provider of six month smiles. these appeal to me massively for obvious reasons being that its quicker. does 6 month smiles have the same drawbacks as traditional braces just over a smaller amount of time? in terms of eating and so on. and will my teeth need no further corrective treatment/attention/retention after treatment is completed?

Q.

Hi i am writing to you on behalf of my mother. she is 47 years old and wants to have braces. she visited a dentist several months ago and they examined her and said that she has a small lower jaw, deep bite with upper teeth overlapping the lower teeth vertically and that her upper teeth are very pushed forwards, spaced and proclined. but then she went of the idea but now is adament on doing them. so i was just wondering what would be the best thing to do. is the 6 month smile plan a good idea and roughly how much would it cost

What is the best treatment to straighten my mildly crooked teeth?

November 28th, 2011
Q.

Dr, I think I am going to require braces as my teeth have stared to cross. a few years ago it wasn’t all that bad but over the last couple of months my teeth seem to have slipped if you will and appear to have moved more than they have in the last year or so! I want to stop it before it continues as hopefully that is possible. from your experience what is the best method of treatment for teeth that have just started to cross and are not yet that bad? I want to be able to hav the best treatment I can and at twenty three Im going to have to pay no matter what so I’m certainly not paying out to have the old fashioned ones as they’re disgusting! could you please advise, thank you in advance for any reply

Is decalcification common with Six Month Smiles and if so, how do I avoid it?

November 28th, 2011
Q.

hi there, iam considering six month braces and iam told my treatment will be the full six months. iam really worried about declarification (i think thats how its spelt) on my teeth can this take place with the brace only being on six months?. And if it did can it be reversed?. Id hate to have perfect straight teeth with lots of discolouration. Anything i can do to prevent this? is it common in your patients who have had this treatment?. Thanks in advance.

How do Six Month Smiles work and are they expensive?

November 28th, 2011
Q.

hi Dr Maini ive looked at your profile and can see that you are the man I need to talk to about six month smiles. aside from the fact that they rectify your teeth how exactly do they work? do they go on like normal braces or what? my sister used to have braces and she hated them- I hated them for her they looked a mess and she had them for about 2 and a half years so naturally the idea of having them on for six months seems appealing to myself. also what is the price difference when it comes to six month smiles when compared with traditional braces on average? if they are massively expensive can I pay for them in instalment type methods?
