What is the recommended amount of enamel you can remove from a tooth for Invisalign treatment?

Wednesday, December 21st, 2011
Q.

Dr Hughes,

Could you please tell me what is recognised as the safe maximum amount of IPR per tooth?
I am getting Invisalign next month and to due to the fact that my teeth are protruding and I have crowding issues, to get the required result it appears I need to have .5mm taken off each side of my top teeth and .3mm off each side of my bottom teeth. Is there any risk to the long term health of my teeth?
Thanks

What brace options are best for my teeth?

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011
Q.

Hi Sunita,
I just wanted to ask about what treatment you could recommend for my teeth. I am 18 and have never been confident with my teeth, so much that I don’t like smiling at all in photo’s and feel really held back by them. They are fairly crooked and the front two are pushed more to the front that the rest. Not only this but it looks slightly crowded and my canine on one side is much smaller than the other. It’s sounds picky, many people say they are okay, but I feel really bothered by them and my dentist did say they needed straightening out with a brace or something. I wanted to ask your advice on this. I am funding myself as I am 18 and wanted to know whether a brace or the new Invisalign would be better, and if veneers would be appropriate? I hope you understand how this has affected my confidence,
Thank you, 

A.

Unstable teeth are starting to Cross. Can you assist?

Monday, May 9th, 2011
Q.

Hi

Over the last few years I have noticed that the space between my top two front incisors has gradually been decreasing. Originally I had a sizeable gap, about 4-5mm, this has now decreased to the extent where they are begining to overlap. I am in my early 40′s.

My main question is what is causing the change after all these years of stable teeth, is it something to do with ageing and will it get worse?

Secondly what possible solutions are there? since my teens I have had partially errupted wisdom teeth, as well as an extra partially formed canine on the left (assuming you’re only meant to have one on each side, my siblings both had 2 per side)

Any help, advice or information would be very useful to decide what to do next, thank you.

Should I replace two front teeth with veneers to straighten my smile?

Wednesday, February 16th, 2011
Q.

I am 20 years old I have a very crowded mouth and have had quite a few teeth out in the past and I had a brace when I was in high school, at the time my dentist said my teeth would never be perfectly straight from a brace, they have moved quite alot since having the brace out and my bite is a very triangular shape, I work in the hairdressing industry and my teeth have always got me down and even more so now. Is it worth replacing my front two teeth with veneers, can this work even with a crowded mouth? thanks for your time.

What treatment would you recommend for crowded teeth and overbite?

Thursday, January 27th, 2011
Q.

I am 23 years old and have a very large overbite. I wore braces when I was in my teens n my teeth were straight for a while but now one of my front teeth is sticking out and sticks over my bottom lip slightly. My bottom row of teeth is slightly overcrowded but the top is a lot worse. What treatment do you recomend ? I dont think braces are an option now as they are too far out ? Would veneers work and if so would I still have a large overbite ? Please help I am depressed about this and would like to see someone as soon as possible.
