Are braces a better option to veneers for straightening my crooked teeth?

Monday, January 9th, 2012
Q.

Hi Rob,

I’m a 29 year old male from the East Midlands. I have what i would call severely crooked top teeth. This has had a major impact on my life, from relationships and interviews, to learning to even speak and laugh differently to hide my teeth. My top teeth are crowded and one of the top two front teeth angles back into the mouth and the other protrudes.

I have never been able to afford treatment but have just been made redundant and will be getting a reasonable pay-out, i have decided i want to look into getting my teeth sorted as they make me very unhappy.
Going to the dentist makes me very anxious as i am ashamed of my teeth, i did ask about correcting them a few years ago and was quoted £7500.00 for veneers. Even with my pay-out, this is still a little to much than i can afford.

I was just after advice really, i would rather avoid metal ‘train-tracks’ if possible, but have heard about others such as Clearstep and Inman aligners. From the very basic summary of what i’ve said, and the hindrance of not being able to see my teeth, would you think i can get anything done for say £5000.00? Are braces the best option for me, and will Clearstep or Inman be suitable for my degree of crookedness?
Any help is much appreciated.

Kind regards

What is the difference between Clearstep and Invisalign?

Monday, July 11th, 2011
Q.

CLEARSTEP VS INVISALIGN

I have a few questions about invisible braces:

What are the differences between the two?

How long will it take? I have been prompted to take action as I am getting married at the end of the year and although from the front my teeth look quite straight from the side they look really uneven. If I started it asap would it make much difference by December? I am happy to continue for longer, I would just like some difference by then.

How much does it cost? Which one is more cheap/expensive?

Are the effects lasting? I had a metal brace as a teenager that improved my teeth a bit but I don’t think it was kept on long enough. I would be willing to wear a retainer if it keeps my teeth nice.

Is Clearstep a suitable alternative to cases where Invisalign would work?

Does Clearstep require attachments to the teeth the same as Invisalign?

Could you suggest me a good professional cosmetic dentistry expert in Oxford?

Thank you in advance for your attention

Will bonding have bad effects on my tooth enamel?

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010
Q.
I am considering 6 month smile treatment after rejecting Clearstep for both cost and length of treatment. Is there any possibility that this new treatment can have an adverse effect on the tooth enamel as it is ‘bonded’ onto the teeth? I’m 55 if that makes any difference.,

What is the best option available in regards to teeth straightening?

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010
Q.
My wife has a gap in the upper front tooth and all her teeth are slightly spaced. I think she also has a slight over bite. In your opinion what would be the best teeth straightening procedure should she get? She is 43. I do not want to shave her teeth or cover them for 20 hours to avoid bacteria build up. also we are on a budget as most people are these days. Thank you.,
