What treatment can I have to get teeth straightened?

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010
Q. hi want to knw how kan i fix my teeeth?? my teeth r little n they r not streith…so wat kan i do in my kase?? i really need help!!!=[,
A. In answer to your question then i would advice to to book an appointment with a dentist to discuss options, the teeth can more often than not be straightened using a variety of orthodontic appliances and teeth may be made to appear larger through cosmetic treatment such as crown lengthening and venners/implants. To determine the best treatment for yourself this should be talked through with a dentist. Hope this is of some help to you. Dr K Solanki

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010
Q. Hi,I’m going to have a private consultaion with an orthodontict.I had treatment when I was 12 years old,but i never managed to retain my teeth after treatment. So now I’m 16 years old and I’m going for a private consultaion which is 70pounds,so how much do you think I’ll have to pay for my treatment even though my teeth have only slightly moved.,
A. That is a very difficult question to answer. Only your Orthodontist will be able to tell you. If you are concerned about cost then you may want to get a few opinions.Justin Glaister

I need braces but had a bad prior experience with them – advice?

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010
Q. Hi, I once had braces but when I came to the stage where I was to wear a retainer, my orthadontist kept fitting my retainer wrong and once chipped my tooth! time after time i cpomplained that i couldnt wear what he was giving me and nothing was done. Im 20 now and I am so unhappy with my smile, I need a brace again, could you give me some information on prices and where is best to go? Most appriciated,
A. Thanks for your questions, there are many teeth straightening systems available today, each with there own benefits. From clear aligner systems which are virtually invisble, to systems such as the Inman Aligner which can acheive results in as little as six weeks. Although the prices vary for each system, and between practices, I can tell you that our teeth straightening treatments start from £999. Many practices who offer these services, will offer a free intial consultation, to allow you to determine which systems would be most suited to you, and to determine the costs. They may also be able to offer interest free credit to help you spread the cost. I wish you well with your treatment. Kindest Regards. Dr Kailesh Solanki

I am happy with results of braces but what can I do?

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010
Q. hope all is well. i am 21 and approaching the end of my orthodontic treatment. i got my braces in a few months before my 18th birthday. i always had straight teeth and never really felt i need braces, until my dentist told me i would need them due to me having an overbite. i was told i would need to extract 2 teeth from my upper and that the gaps will close with the treatment thus reducing my overbite. (my overbite before treatment was 7mm and now it is 3mm.) now near the end of my treatment, i am not happy with the results at all. firstly, i feel my teeth are much worse of than what they used to be. i also feel that my facial structure and features have also changed. i dont like my new smile and feel my teeth have moved too far back. my lips are much bigger and my profile isnt as good as it used to be. i feel very low and depressed and have lost my confidence. i use to be very happy and full of confidence, always a smile on my face. now doctor, i dont know what to do. does orthodontic treatment really change the shape of your face and your features? (well with the treatment ive had done anyway). and if i wanted to remove the braces and allow my teeth to go back to their normal position, will my features go back to what they used to be and my teeth go back to where they were without any problems? ive spoken to my orthodontist and he’s told me that treatment does not not change any facial features and only surgery can do that. unfortunately, i dont believe him. ive also looked alot on the internet but people seem to give different answers. it would be much appreciated if you could help me and answer the above questions and give me some advice. thank you for your time doctor and look forward to hearing from you soon. kind regards,
A. hi, this is obviously affecting you a great deal and the reason you are not getting a straight answer is because the treatment provided is not clear and thus its affects cannot be determined. i would advise seeing another orthodontist and seeking a second opinion. regards safeer

What can be done about tooth that has grown higher in gums?

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010
Q. Dear Sir I have a tooth growing at the top of my mouth however there is not enough room due to there being teeth either side it and therefore has remained above the two teeth that are on the correct level. The tooth in question has grown from higher in the gum than my tooth line and I was wondering what the correct treatment for that tooth would be? Should it be removed there would be a gap however i would like to treat this if possible. It appears to be a molar tooth With thanks,
A. You need to have an assessment with a cosmetic dentist or orthodontist I feel the best treatment would be some type of brace if the teeth can be moved to accomadate the crooked one.

What treatment can I have to close front tooth gap?

Monday, February 22nd, 2010
Q. Dear sir, my question is i have gap between front teeth . sir wat treatment is there to remove gap,
A. Thanks for your question, you may wish to consider an aligner, such as the Inman Aligner, to close the gap between your teeth. The alternative to an aligner would be veneers, which can be used to improve the size shape and aesthetic appearnace of your teeth. Many Thanks. Dr Kailesh Solanki

What treatment is suitable for canines that are forward of other teeth?

Monday, February 22nd, 2010
Q. My bottom row of teeth is almost perfectly straight, but on the the top row the canines (I think) are further forward than my other teeth. Also, due to an accident when I was 11 (I am now 23) two of my teeth are chipped and one of the front ones has the bottom section missing and is capped. As such, I don’t know if it would be worth having my teeth straightened if you could still see the caps, or what my other options would be? Please advise? Much appreciated.,
A. Thanks for your questions, it is still possible to have your teeth straightened, despite the presence of the crown. You seem reluctant however to make the repaired teeth more visible, if this is because the restorations do not appear natural, then you may wish to have these replaced after the completion of any Orthodontic treatment. If you would like to discuss this further please do not hesitate to contact me again.Kindest regardsDr Kailesh Solanki

Can I get treatment for tooth gaps on the NHS?

Monday, February 22nd, 2010
Q. Hello I have spacious gaps between my upper teeth and also quite a big overbite. According to an orthodonist I recently saw, he said invisalign may work for me, but I am border-line surgical in terms of my overbite. This is worrying to me as it seems it may not just be a cosmetic problem anymore, is there any way I can get this done on the NHS? If not, what options do I have?,
A. You should ask the orthodontist for a hospital referral to find out if there is a chance of getting things sorted on the NHS

Can injured front teeth be straightened and whitened?

Monday, February 22nd, 2010
Q. Hello, i am a 16 year old who had a dental injury while playing football 2 years ago. This involved my front left tooth falling straight out and my front right being extreamely loose. I had an operation to put the tooth back in and root canal treatment also. I have recently found out my front right now needs root treatment as its very sensitive to hot and cold. However, cut to the point, i was wondering if my front teeth can be straightened in any way, my dentist has told me braces could speed up the rate of resortion. He has also told me that by the time i am 40 it will need taking out, this was shocking news to me. What would be the best solution to straightening and is my dentist just being pessimistic?. Thanks. P.S Since my front teeth may soon discolour due to the treatment, what would be the best method of whitening?.,
A. The outlook for teeth that have been reimplanted is a concern and I would not recommend anything that might further increase the risk of the root dissolving /resorbing. Tooth whitening and orthodontics should be viewd with caution. Veneers might be an option in some cases were the teeth were stable. If the teeth are already poor quality extraction and replacement with bridges, dentures or implants are considerations. StJohns Dental practice in Birmingham is 1 minute from New Street station.

What is the best treatment to treat relapsed teeth?

Friday, February 19th, 2010
Q. I am 29 and have a gap in the front of my teeth as a result of relapse from orthodontic treatment nearly 15 years ago, and i’m looking to get it fixed, given that i paid privately, I’m reallly keen not to pay a serious amount of money to get this work done. THe Dentist has retired, my records hae gone as has the surgery. How much should i be paying for such treatment and which options may be suitable. (I had ceramic, but not keen for those again, nor train tracks. Any others would be ok, but more pricey. Would you be able to advise on my best options and advise a guidline of what is a typical cost for this. I still have a plastic clear retainer, but have not used it for 10 years, I am frightened of it breaking and tehn I will be back to square one.,
A. Clearstep positioners are one system that might be appropriate another is  Invisalign. Guide price is around £4000. Six month smile or inman aligners are slightly less with a slightly different outcome. StJohns Dental practice in Birmingham is close to New Street station.

How long would I have to wear retainer?

Thursday, February 18th, 2010
Q. Hi I was originally given a brace about 4 to 5 years ago but after a few months I stopped using it this was due to a few reasons including being scared of my orthodontist, but the main reason was that it was making me extremely irritable and agitated just after wearing for a few hours I would snap at people and want to just rip them out, as you can imagine this cause problems at home as no one understood how I was feeling and when i tried to explain just told me it didn’t make sense or look at me in a disbelieving way. I stuck it for as long as I could but I eventually got to the point where I could take it no longer, when I heard about the inman aligner I felt that this was the answer something that wouldn’t take to two years therefore allowing me to cope. I then read on the forum about a retainer after having the inman aligner and I was unsure whether this was a standard thing which everyone had or just certain cases I am also unsure as to how long on average would you have to wear this retainer? and is how i was feeling while wearing my brace something that happens with other patients? many thanks,
A. Retainers are for life, wearing them is comfortable for most people, but as you already point out, you may not be the average patient. Rob

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010
Q. i am 18 years old, i have an underbite,however, i do not want to wear braces, i would rather have surgery or an alternative.What do you reccomend?,
A. You may need surgery for this type of bite anyway, however the surgery is quite complex and  will require most patients to wear braces afterwards as well. You should seek the advice of a specialist orthodontist befor making up your mind.

What treatment would be suitable to straighten my teeth?

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010
Q. Im 32 and I need to Straighting my teeth. The main problem is the difference between the upper and lower part of my mouth. wich treatment will be effective for me and where should I go 4 that for a reasonable price.,
A. It is difficult to diagnose you without seeing you, if you have a discrepacy between your jaws than the only option is surgery which is carried out in dental hospitals followed by tooth alignment if this is not what you want you may be able to straighten just the teeth ( not the jaws) with fixed braces or invisalign.
