Could I ask my dentist for more aligner to straighten my teeth further?

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

Q. I am on my last aligner. I still feel that my teeth can be more straighter wih more alighners. could I ask for more aligners? Thanks

A. Thanks for your questions, this would depend onthe system you have used. If you have had Invisalign type treatment, you should be able to return to your dentist for refinement. This will involve taking further impressions and having more aligners made to acheive the results you are expecting. Please do not hesitate to contact me again if you need further assistance.

Would you recommend Inman aligner for straightening my teeth?

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

Q. Hello , i am 22 years old, i am in london for about 3 years and i am asylum seeker i dont work and i cant work but can you tell me how much is fees to straighten my upper front teeth for inman aligner treatment? and and if its affordable can i pay treatment fees in installments? and if not then can u tell me which is fast and easy way to straighten my teeth? and can u suggest any doctor who do inman aligners treatment in india? waiting for your reply . Thank you.

A. Thanks for your questions, the cost for the Inman aligner will vary between practices, but I am currently offering this service from £999. Many cosmetic dental practices do offer payment plans, but to the best of my knowledge, you (or your partner) would need to be in employment. The Inman aligner is one of the most cost effective and quickest treatments available to straighten teeth. I would suggest, that you research providers in India on the internet. Kind Regards.

Can I hv more aligners as I m not happy with the final results?

Friday, October 30th, 2009

Q. Hi, I have been on the Invisalign for about 15 months and I am on my last aligner. I am not totally happy with my final result and wanted to ask what options I have. Could I ask for more aligners from the dentist i am having treatment and will this cost more? Thanks

A. Thanks for your question, you should return to your dentist or Orthodontist where the next stage would be refinement. This will involve new aligners being made to hopefully acheive the results you have been aiming for. Many Thanks

Need long lasting remedy for discoloured gappy teeth

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

Q. I have had braces and yet i have a small gap between my two front teeth, my orthadontist said i should go and see my dentist for bonding or venners as there is nothing else she can do. i was just wondering which technique is better and longer lasting and if they are stain resistant. Also i may consider home teeth whitening kits, and was wondering if they the veneers or the bonding will whiten also. morevover can you please tell me the NHS prices fro these and if there is a significant reduction in prices if you are a university student.

A. Thanks for your enquiry, firstly these procedures would be classed as cosmetic, and so would probably not be available on the NHS. If you are considering having your teeth whitened, then I would encourage you to do this before you have any restorations placed on your teeth, as whitening only works on your natural tooth. The material which is then used would be matched to the whitened shade of your teeth. There are benefits to both tooth bonding and to veneers, as tooth bonding is a less invasive treatment however veneers would lead to a more aesthetically pleasing result in my opinion. I hope this helps.
Many thanks

Is its necessary to have tooth shaving with inman aligners?

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

Q. Do you still need tooth shaving (interproximal reduction)with the inman aligners?

A. Thanks for your question, it is not always necessary to have Interproximal Reduction when having the Inman aligner treatment. The need for reduction would depend on the amount of space available between the teeth. I hope this helps, but please do not hesitate to contact me again if you require any further information.

My daughter is 19 how bowen therapy could help her?

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

Q. Hello, My daughter, now 19 yrs, had ‘holistic’ dental treatment where the arch of her teeth was widened and braces worn so all her teeth could fit in. During this process the dentist did some allignment work on the actual jaw. The work went wrong and she was left with misalligned jawline. Her chin is not on centre line and one side of her jaw is lower than other and teeth on that side do not touch. She finds it hard to open the mouth wide (cannot eat an apple for example) and has tinnitus. She finds Bowen therapy helpful but the jaw is particularly bad at the moment and we need to find proper solution. Is this the kind of case you can help with? If so, how? If not, can you recommend me someone who can, please? The dentist in question was struck off, and so cannot help (probably couldn’t in any case) and we are desperate for top quality help as cannot afford to get things wrong again. Regards,

A. I would be very happy to help but this isn’t my main area of expertise. i would recommend seeing Dr julian Gleister at Umbrella

I hv my front teeth pushed forward Whats the best option for me?

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

Q. Hi there. I am 23 and one of my front teeth has been pushed forward over the years so it now sticks out. I am very self conscious about it and it affects my confidence. I’m just wondering what the best option for me is?

A. It sounds like a brace might work well. I use an Inman Aligner for mild crowding it works quickly and gives good results. Try to find a dentist close to you who can provide this treatment for you.

Can I hv aligners for my bottom teeth Plz advice

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

Q. Hi! i would appreciate your guidance. My bottom teeth have moved over thelast two years,i believe due to me biting down on my back teeth when i am stressed and at the time i went through a personal trauma. I have been to see one harley street authordontist who recomended invisalign. It was completely out of my budget. I have noticed that it has affected my smile,i have a big smile and haave no problem with my confidence but i am growing increasingly upset by my teeth,especially seeing perfectly straight teeth in photos only two years previous. I have just been researching veneers,although i would not like my own teeth removed or ground down to have them. This evening i have just found out about the inman aligner,i am really interested. How do i get advice on what is truly the best option for my teeth? I hope you can help… Regards

A. hi,
if the teeth affected are the ones between the anterior canines then it is likely it can be helped with the inman.
look for a dentist near you or if you prefer any of my clinincs will offer a free consultation.

Could you plz list pros and cons of Invisalign and Inman Aligner

Monday, October 12th, 2009

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

I m 19 Can I replace front big teeth with small ones

Monday, October 12th, 2009

Q. Hi, my front two teeth are a lot bigger than the rest, making them look odd. I was recently thinking about having them removed and having smaller ones in place, but obviously i need to know about the options available. Please could you reply providing information on any treatments that would be suitable. I am 19 years old and i have had braces in the past which aligned my teeth, however the size of the front two ruins my smile. Thankyou Riten.

A. You really need to have a consultation to have your teeth assessed and measured.  You may be able to have the teeth reshaped but may need some orthodontics to close the spaces afterwards.  Sometimes the front teeth can be made smaller and the teeth next to them made a little wider to get a better smile.

Can anything be done for gappy teeth in cosmetic dentistry?

Monday, October 12th, 2009

Q. Hi, I am 53 and had conventional orthodontic treatment to straighten my front teeth as a teenager. In recent years, my front teeth have started to move forwards and have gaps. I initially looked into orthodontic treatment but was told that it was unlikely to be successful due to ‘getting long in the tooth’. Is there anything by way of cosmetic dentistry that could done?

A. Im sure orthodontics could improve your teeth aesthetically. But it depends what you are looking to acheive. If you simply want to align them then orthodontics is the way forward. If you would like to change the shape, colour and size of your teeth then Veneers may be what you are looking for.
you are very welcome to book with either myself for a cosmetic consultation, or with my collegue Dr Darsh Patel for an orthodontic consultation at my clinic, Umbrella. Please visit www.umbrellasmiles.com for more info.

For how long I need to have retainer?

Monday, October 12th, 2009

Q. Hi, I’m four days into an Inman Aligner (upper only) and I’ve been told that I will need a retainer once the treatment is complete. How long will the retainer need to be worn? I’ve read somewhere that the it will need to be used for life. Many thanks.

A. I would recommend having a fixed retainer, a wire that sits on the back of your teeth once the teeth are straight I also make a removable retainer that you wear at night time.  These are lifelong in my opinion.

Could I get Inman Aligners after having veneer treatment.Plz suggest

Sunday, October 11th, 2009

Q. Dear Dr Glaister, My top row of teeth are neat but the two front teeth stick out and they are longer than I would like. I was wondering: – is it possible to get teeth trimmed and to what extent (e.g. is it only the enamel part that can be trimmed?). Would it be necessary to have veneers fitted on the trimmed teeth – Could I get Inman Aligners even after having veneer treatment already? Many thanks and best regards

A. Teeth can be recontoured, but only slighly. If you are considering the Inman Aligner, you would have to have this done before having veneers.

Can the two uneven front teeth be made straight?

Saturday, October 10th, 2009

Q. My 2 front teeth on top are slightly uneven. One of them is straight on the bottom, and the other is slightly curved and hangs just a little bit lower. Can the one that is curved be filed down to match the one next to it so that they are both straight?

A. You can trim teeth but only by a small amount otherwise they become weak and sensitive

How can i get treatment for my twisted tooth without using braces?

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

Q. Hello, On the left side of my two front teeth i ahve a twisted tooth. I don’t want to have braces and turned the oppurtunity down because i didn’t want the pain and hassle for one tooth. I’m asking is there any way to have this cosmetically done, i.e. veneers, crowns, false teeth, etc. Please let me know; i haven’t had a cosmetics professionals opinion. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Many Thanks.

A. Crooked teeth can be treated using orthodontics to move the teeth into the correct position, veneers/ crowns to disguise their actual position or a combination of ortho and veneers/crowns.  If teeth are in a poor position some tooth will need to be trimmed away for the veneers/crowns to have the correct aesthetic result.  Ortho will minimise this amount of tooth reduction necessary.  Hope this helps.

I had braces years back and now crooked should i get braces fixed again?

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

Q. Hi Dr Andrew Moore My teeth started to move only a few months after i had finished six months of wearing a removable brace and before this a fixed brace and night brace during a year and a half. This was when i was about ten , i am 38 now,my front teeth are quite big compared to what my baby teeth were like and so i have always had a problem with over crowding. As my teeth are quite crooked at the front, they over lap, do you think i would benifit from having a removable or fixed brace again could it help to straighten my front teeth or would my teeth end up crooked again. My bottom teeth are also crooked but i did not have a brace as i was told at the time that my teeth would eventualy straighten out but this did not happen. Thank you for your time and help

A. Hi Yes a new brace, probably fixed, would help but it would be essential for long-term, possibly permanent, retention afte the treatment has been completed. We often use a bonded retainer at my clinic to hold teeth permanently after the orthodontics has been completed.
