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

hi im looking for advice and help i suffer from cystic fibrosis im 30 years old and years of doing physio and spitting up mucus up my tongue has pushed my top teeth forward i think its called an overbite (buck teeth) i would like to get them sorted i went to two inman aligners dentists one said he could reduce my bite by 80 percent the other one said he couldnt but im worried that i spend the money getting them done my tongue will just push them back and it will be worse if i get a permanant retainer and it will push more teeth out as i heard theres alot of relapses with the inman i was also considering invisalign or six month smile but i havent been to see about them hope you can help thanks .

Q.

I have a slight gap in my top front teeth, a couple of millimeters or so. Do you think that the use of inman aligners or the 6 month smile would benefit me and close the gap as it is something I have been sensitive about for many years?

Q.

i have which is known to me a peg tooth next to my top front tooth.its sloped inwards as if its going behind my front tooth.ive been told that i should have a inman aligner and then a veneer what would you reccommend?

Q.

Is the Inman Aligner good for gaps (SPACES BETWEEN THE TEETH) or is it just good for pushing teeth forward and back? Thank you.

Q.

Dear Dr Moore,

I was just wondering if treatments like the Inman Aligner are applicable when you’ve still got baby teeth? I had a small operation a few years ago to remove an adult canine which never came through; consequently I’ve still got the original baby tooth sat in its place. I’m assuming I’d have to have that removed but do you think they would they be able to close the gap or put in a bridge or something?

Thanks in advance.

Hi there, im feeling a little self concious about my teeth i had a brace fitted when i was younger age of 12 the orthodontist that i saw was going back to germany where she was from and i was worried my treatment may of been a little rushed but i thought nothing of it at the time i was given a retainer an wore it for several years following given instructions but recently i have started to feel uncomfortable smiling as i feel like my two front teeth protrude at an angle and stick out there is a definite improvement from previously not having a brace but i am still worried. what do you think would be the best thing to do. Many Thanks.

Q.

Hi, my 2 top front teeth cross over slightly, would I be able to have an Inman Aligner fitted or would I need a fixed brace?

Q.

I am interested in the inman aligner on my bottom teeth as there is minor movement but I am missing two bottom teeth , I have both my wisdom teeth but I had two teeth extracted when I was young. Counting from the back the forth and fifth teeth are gone from the right side of my mouth. does this stop me from being to get the inman aligner.
