would the inman aligner be appropriate for teeth that have veneers on them

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008
Q.
Hello, I was wondering would it be at all possible that the inman aligner would be appropriate for teeth that have veneers on them already? I have veneers in the front however they tilt slightly forward and I would like them to protrude less. I realise each case is individual but in theory would this work, or would the veneers be damaged in doing so? Thank you

A.

I’ve found out I have a class II div 2 mal occlusion

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008
Q.
Hi there. Having done a little research into this, I’ve found out I have a class II div 2 (mal)occlusion. I’m keen to straighten my teeth but also to try and move my lower jaw forward a little, as it has a “weak” appearance in profile and gives me a double chin when I’m not even fat! I’m not sure how related this is to my teeth positioning, but it would be nice to try and tackle it. I’m wondering which methods are generally suitable for this tooth layout, and whether some might be more suitable for bringing my lower jaw forward, if that is indeed possible? Many thanks for your time.

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008
Q.
Dear Dr Suri About a week ago I had a molar in my top jaw removed – since then the tooth infront of it (the incisor i think) has been giving me some discomfort when i eat. I fear it may have been loosened / damaged during the extraction. What should I do from here? Also I would like to consider having a dental implant in the extracted site and would like more info on costs, procedure etc. Many thanks,

does composite bonding ruin your enamel forever

Monday, December 15th, 2008
Q.
I want to thank you for answering my question so quickly..however when you said tooth bonding is reversible..did you mean that I could go back to my natural teeth? I heard that the acid solution they paint on your teeth before they apply the composite bonding ruins your enamel forever…and you could never go back. Is this true? Please tell me it’s not true!
