Hello Dr Hughes. I really need a complete mouth makeover. I have a big overbite and gaps etc. I need an expert job as fast as possible with as little noticeable as possible. I need all options, even pulling them all out and having permanent fakes.
I am an actor and model and this is holding my work back as well as making me extremely self conscious with this problem. I need this done fast and price is a factor so I need all options.
Thank you for your time. I look forward to your reply.

As An Actor I Need A Complete Smile Makeover To Give Me Confidence. I Need To Know Which Fast Dental Treatment Options Work Best?
Thursday, August 14th, 2014I Want To Know If I Can Have Braces Through Two Separate Orthodontists In Different Parts Of The World?
Tuesday, August 5th, 2014Hi Dr. Riten, I am relocating to the UK from India in a couple of weeks. I am 25 years old and I need your advice on cosmetic dentistry.
My upper front teeth lie ahead of the lower front teeth. I wanted to get braces but heard the medical expenses in London are very steep.
So, I wanted your advice:
1. If I get the braces process started in India, will dentists in London take up the case and treat me?
2. What is the cost of getting braces in UK?
3. Anything else that you can suggest.
If needed, could I also send across my full mouth x-ray.
I look forward to your response.
Thanks.

Could You Tell Me Whether My Son’s Orthodontist Has Given The Right Course Of Action?
Tuesday, July 29th, 2014Hello. My 14 year old son has a lot of overcrowding, which requires 3 teeth removed, his upper k9 teeth are very high up in the gums, and to complicate things further, he has one upper front tooth missing and currently wears a denture plate. His orthodontist has suggested braces for 2 and a half years, and pulling the teeth next to his missing tooth into the gap, and after braces are off capping the tooth that was next to the missing front tooth to make it look like a front tooth, and capping the k9 to make it look like the tooth that has become the front tooth, but doing this will leave my son unable to wear a denture and live with a gap and then a small tooth in the gap until its capped after the 2 and a half years, is this the only way to deal with this problem? Could braces not be used to straighten the teeth but leave a gap for him to continue to wear a denture and then at the end of the treatment to straighten, the denture be replaced by an implant? My son is devastated by the prospect of revealing that he has a false tooth to his peers. Regards.
Hello Mark, My Teeth Are Out Of Position And I Would To Know If Veneers Treatment Would Help Me?
Monday, July 28th, 2014Hello Mark, I just wanted to enquire about getting veneers put on my teeth. My first fang at my left side never came through in is buried behind the back of my front two teeth. I have been to the orthodontist and they have told me that it isn’t touching my root and can be left there. However, this has made my teeth not straight and they are positioned slightly more to the left than I would want. I want to get veneers put on the front to correct my smile and was wanting some help and advice if possible? Thank you in advance.
I Have Problems Eating And Would Like To Know If I Could Get Braces Through The NHS At A Reduced Rate?
Friday, July 25th, 2014Hello Dr Hughes. I am 75 years old and chronically disabled. Do you know if it could be possible for me to have a brace fitted to enable me to eat properly and to correct a cross bite involving my front teeth. One tooth on the upper jaw and two teeth on the lower set injures my tongue and inner lips when I am eating (I have difficulty eating too as I have few molar teeth) and also when I am asleep? Would this be possible through the NHS or at a very reduced cost? Thank you for your reply in advance.
My Overbite Needs Correcting As I Have TMJ Disorder. Are Invisible Braces Able To Correct My Narrow Arch Problem?
Wednesday, July 23rd, 2014Hi Dr Gambroudes,
I am 28. I have an overbite (from sucking my thumb as a child) and slightly overcrowded mouth. My teeth don’t meet each other properly and cause me problems that similar to TMJ disorder such as neck problems etc.
I want to see an orthodontist, can you recommend one in South East area? Are they able to use invisible braces to correct my problem? Can braces correct a very narrow dental arch by making it wider or would braces only be able to push my front teeth backwards a bit?
Thank you for your time.
I Have Had My Braces Off For Nearly A Year And I’ve Noticed My Gums Have Receded Quite A Bit. Can You Help Me Please?
Tuesday, July 22nd, 2014Hi. I go to the dentist regularly for my check up and even had braces for almost 3 years. I have had my braces off nearly a year and have noticed recently my gums have receded quite a lot. My front right tooth has become loose and is getting looser as the days go by and is causing me pain now but didn’t before I brushed my teeth 3 times a day, sometimes more because I panic my teeth are going to fall out. I think I have gum disease but the dentist have never said anything about having gum disease and I used to go the dentist every 3 months sometimes before every 3 months to have my braces tightened and nobody said anything. I also went the dentist 2 weeks ago and my dentist still didn’t say anything about my gums being so low I have booked my self back in with the dentist and I’m scared in case they take my teeth out as I’m only 18 can you help please?
