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.

My front teeth has become extremely sensitive

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

Q. Hi, A few days ago while I was eating I suddenly bit down on a piece of bone with my front teeth. Since then the left front tooth has become extremely sensitive. I think it is cracked but not exactly sure as I can’t see any crack but can feel a slight uneveness at the tip. It is so painful that I find it difficult talking as the cold air makes it hurt. Any ideas as to how to stop this? Please help!

A. Thanks for your question, I would recommend that you attend your dental practice at your earliset convenience, so that they can assess the damage to the tooth. If it is just sensitivity, using toothpaste specifically designed for sensitivity can help.

Is bone graft painful and is it safe?

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

Q. I’ve always had lovely teeth & visited the dentist regularly.About a year ago I noticed that every time I brushed, my gums would bleed.My dentist suggested various gels for gum disease,but now my top front tooth is slightly twisted and I still bleed.After having some x-rays Ive been told I have lost bone tissue and the next tooth may also come loose.I asked about implants. It has been explained to me that because there is a loss of bone an implant would not be possible at the moment.A bone graft/implant has been suggested.Can you give me some information on this.Where is the bone taken from? Is it done under general anisthetic? I am extreemly worried. I want my teeth to look good and I dont like pain.

A. Thanks for your questions, it is possible to carry out the procedure using an artificial bone, to prevent the need for a graft from another site on your body. This procedure can be carried out under local anaesthetic, although some clinicians will be able to offer Intravenous sedation, if you feel this would help you. The aartificial bone is then allowed to integrate for a period of months, before the process to place the implants would begin. I hope this heglps.

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

Does expanders create gaps and causes teeth to come forward?

Monday, October 19th, 2009

Q. Dear Dr., im wearing expanders (upper jaw) and suppose to remove it next week.then il be getting my bracers to push my teeth back which are abit forward earlier.. but my front teeth have come EVEN MORE FORWARD now and looks bad than earlier. so my quetion is, other than creating gaps between teeth, does the expanders causes teeth to come forward?can this be corrected?

A. hi many thanks for your email, the expander will expand the whole jaw so yes initially this will cause all the teeth to move outwards. the brace will then be placed to then bring the teeth all back into allignment and close the gaps, this should then solve the problem. hope this is helpful.

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

I have 4 tooth removed nd braces fixed but my jaw looks misaligned?

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

Q. Hello there,i was wondering if you could help me.When i was about 12 i had 4 larger teeth removed towards the back of my mouth.2 on the top and 2 on the bottom.I had these removed due to overcrowding.I then had fixed train track braces fitted on the top and bottom of my teeth.I had these fixed for about a year but i had them removed as i was getting constant headaches and we thought this might be causing the problem.Since having the teeth removed and the braces fitted my appearence has totally changed.My jaw is completely crooked which is totally noticeable, especially in photographs where i cannot stand to look at myself.My face itself has become alot longer and thinner and the the pallet in my mouth has caved in.Instead of being a nice u shape it is much more like a v shape and it feels as though i am biting on the side of my teeth.When i have seen my dentists they say that there is nothing wrong but this has being really bothering me for years and it is my crooked jaw that really upsets me and i am desperate to try and sort this out and have a straight face again.Please can you help me.Look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.

A. If your problem is purely a tooth position issue a brace will sort out your issues.  However it sounds as though your jaw growth has been uneven over the years.  This is unlikely because of your tooth extractions.  If this is the case you may need surgery to reposition your upper and lower jaws possibly in combination with a fixed brace
