Q. Dear Dr Caplan, im currantly thinking about having braces, however i have big overbite due to my thumb sucking which i stopped many years ago, i went to the orthodontist and got told i would need an operation before i could get braces, I’m 17 years old and im just wondering after this operation which i believe they said they would have to break my jaw, how this would effect me? How long would i be in hospital after the operation, would it majorly effect the time i had to study. Any information you would be able to give me would greatly appreshiated, Many thanks, Sam.
A. You really need to discuss this with the orthodontist and surgeon who is planning your operations as there are many different operations that are undertaken to solve orthodontic problems

Q. my top row of teeth are straight except one, it beside the front teeth. It sticks out further then the rest, i was was wondering what i should do to fix it and a guess on how much it would cost. people told me to get braces but if i got those will i have to get them for all my front teeth?
A. The best solution is some form of orthodontics to move the teeth into the correct position. In my practice I use invisalign to do this as it is virtually invisable and patients cope with it very well. The usual treatment time is 6 to 8 months compared to standard brace work that is often 2 to 3 years. We give a complimentary free bleaching treatment at the end of the process to give you a whiter smile if you wish. Please contact my practice if you are interested. The typical cost of treatment is £3300

Q. Hi, I was wondering if you could help. I think I have a crossbite; my teeth dont sit properly against each other, and if i try toi, my bottom front teeth go behind my top teeth, although my jaw is quite forward so doesnt seem like an underbite. This makes my mouth curve down making me look unhappy even though I’m not, and makes my mouth and jaw look small compared to the rest of my face. I was wondering if invisilign might help this, or surgery, or if this is even something that can be fixed. It feels like my jaw is out of line but I guess I’m use to it so havent done anything. thanks a lot foryour time
A. You may well require surgery as ti sounds as though you have a problem with your relative jaw positions.

Q. I have a really bad over bite due to year of thumb sucking as a child. I also have a genetic problem which is making the overbite worse, and a very bad lisp due to this. My dentist has recommended either braces or an operation to fix this (he thinks the operation is more likely) Is this something they offer on the NHS. Do you have any other suggestions?
A. Yes you need to see an orthodontist they may refer you to a local hospital to have the treatment which should be available on the nhs.

Q. Hi dr rob…. I am now 27 and had a number of removable braces from the age of 14-16 than a fixed brace from 16 till I was nearly 19. I was really happy with the results, but shortly after having this removed my bottom teeth all crossed over again. I did visit my orthodontist about this but told ne at the time all they could do would be to file each tooth down then put a fixed brace on again. I was concerned about the health of my teeth filing them so did not go ahead. Since I have remained unhappy with my teeth but thought there was nothing that could be done, until I heard recently about invisable braces. I would like to look into this but feel that as the job wasn’t done properly in the first place that to pay for this now would be unfair. My top teeth have now also moved since I have a wisdom tooth coming through, and now I am feeling unhappy with these also. I was also told I would never get any wisdom teeth!! What would be your suggestion for how I go treatment from here?? Kind regards
A.
My first impression is that you are unlikely to get funding for invisible braces. Also all braces need space to move teeth around and so even Clearstep or Invisalign may need “interproximal stripping” ( removing enamel between teeth) to create space. After treatment you will need to wear lifetime retainers.
Hope this helps

Q. Hello, As a child I wore a brace on my upper teeth but over time my teeth have moved and I now have a front tooth that is not in alignment with the others. I was wondering what would be the better option for me to correct this. I’ve been looking at Invisalign and Inman Aligner, can you tell me the pros and cons for each, and also what kind of cost would I be looking at.
A. To know which is the most suitable for you, you would need to consult an orthodontist as there is a different type of brace that is best for each case.
If you would like a recommendation my collegue Dr Darsh Patel has a wealth of knowledge and would be happy to see you for an assessment please visit www.umbrellasmiles.com

Q. I was referred to an orthodontist when i was 14 to have braces fitted in. I had the braces fitted in but after a couple of days i had them removed as i did not feel comfortable wearing them. I am now 19 and in full-time education at university. Do you think i will still be able to get braces free under the NHS scheme?
A. Over 19 years old you no longer automatically qualify for exemtption from NHS charges, you need to fill in an AG1 form to claim on grounds of low income. But you need to find out if you still qualify for NHS orthodontics in addition to a question about charges. See an Orthodontist with an NHS contact to have your IOTN score done.
Hope this helps

Q. I really want invisalign but they are SO expensive my teeth are really unstraight and require braces is there any chance of getting invisalign or invisable braces for free ?
A.
The clearstep system is based in Kent and was in discussion with the local NHS commisioning to get an NHS contract. to have any brace on the NHS you have to qualify as a functional not appearance treatment according to a score system (IOTN)
Otherwise guide price £2000-5000 depending on assessed difficulty

Q. At the moment I have a fixed brace on and will soon have it removed but after I would really like to have my teeth whitened. What would be the best way to do this and How much would it cost? Thank You
A.
Teeth whitening costs range from £200-£800 depending on the clinic and type of teeth whiteing you opt for.
The best type of teeth whitening for you depends on your age and the current shade of your teeth.
I recommend you book an appointment with your dentist and seek his opinion.
Kind regards

A. Sometimes your teeth can be moved with veneers the movement is a little less predictable.

Q. i have been having problems with my teeth for years they are crooked and it has really knocked my confidence..im a single mom and currently not workin so i was looking for the cheapest possible way to get this problem sorted. if you could get bck to me and let me know that would be great, thanks.
A. Your best treatments are orthodontics such as 6 month smiles, invisalign. If cost is a real issue some teaching dental hospitals may treat you but they do have long waiting lists.

Q. Dear Dr. Basically here is my dilemma…i have a gap between my two front teeth and i would like it fixed… This is the problem i have a big fear of wire and needles in my mouth this means in the past braces have been difficult. I have some teeth effect bands but i am unsure of whether to use them… I have done much research and the three main problems that dentists have are that they can cause gaps either side of the teeth in question, they have been known to cause gum irritation and also that they are not a permanent solution. I have crooked teeth and my two front teeth over lap either side so the gaps arent a problem, also i would only use them durin the day between meals, this means i could be sure they do not slip near my gums. Lastly i realise that this diy dentistry would only be short term. I am basically asking what do you think for my circmstances? Should i use the bands? thanks.
A. I think you should find a dentist you feel comfortable with and look at having Invisalign treatment which has no wires and is removable.

Q. Good morning, Dr. Moore! I would like to ask you for an advise, if it’s possible. I want to have straight teeth and perfect smile, however all braces require monthly appointments with doctors and fixing the braces. In my case I can’t visit doctor so often, because I always live in differnt countries (for study, work) and can reach the same doctor only once in 6 months. So are there any braces or something else what I can use without monthly checking. Thank you in advance, Best regards
A. I guess you might have 2 options, you could try veneers which will involve only 3-4 visits over a month period or maybe Invisalign type braces where you could wear the aligners yourself and maybe monitor the treatment via e-mail with your dentist. Please feel free to contact us on 01245 268 494 if you need any further help, regards Andrew

Q. Hi Doctor, I have been reading a lot about Lumineers and invisalign. I had braces at the age of 22 for about a year and a half. I used have uneven teeth, which sort of got straightened but nothing close to perfect. I have a gap between my font teeth which I want fixed. I am wondering what the best solution for me would be? I want to avoid undergoing the painful process of braces all over again. Can you please advice me on this? Also how can I get an appointment at your clinic and when? Thanking you in anticipation. Regards,
A. For me I would always want you to straighten your teeth, Invisalign is a great way to do this. If after this you still wanted to have veneers it would provide you with the best possible outcome. You are more then welcome to come in for a free consultation where we can look at all the options. You can look at my website on www.mulberrydental.co.uk.

Q. I wondered what the best way I could fix these cosmetic problems. Preferably without braces. My top row of teeth go slightly inwards and my two front teeth are face a little towards each other. I also have a very small gap on each side between my first and second premolars. i should also say i still have 4 baby teeth around the back on each side, and there are no big teeth to grow in. is there a plate i could wear that would fix all this? No one has ever noticed and no dentist has ever recommended anything, so i wanted to get another opinion.
A. You could try veneers or maybe a removable brace such as an Inman Aligner or Invisalign?

Q. Hi Dr Glaister, Iv have come to the end of my treatment with invisalign and not that happy with the results. My dentist advised me to have a mental brace on the top to bring my two side teeth down. The bottom ones are lovely and straight. The top have straightened too but im disapointed as iv paid alot of money for ‘invisable’ braces and now need to ‘ugly betty’ style for 2-3months. very shallow i know but hey… this is the world we live in. id be so greatful to hear back from you.
A. Hi,
I can understand why you would not want to wear a fixed brace but it is not unusual for some invisilign cases to be finished with a fixed brace. If Invisilign has taken you as far as you can go then you now are left with two options, leave your teeth as they are or wear a fixed brace to pefect the end result. Ask you dentist if lingual braces (braces fixed to the back of your teeth) or even white braces can be fitted for you instead of the standard ‘ugly betty’ looking ones to make the process more managable for you.
Kind regards
