Q. Dear Dr, I would be grateful if you would give me some advice. I am need t get braces to correct overcrowding on both the top and bottom teeth. I have had a consultation for 6 month braces. I am not sure whether to get them or to go for traditional braces. Have you had any dealings with 6 months braces? Would you recommend them?
A. I would always recommend traditional braces as the first choice of treatment. 6 months braces can only be used in specific cases which involve mild to moderate crowding of the front teeth.

Q. Hi Kailesh I was wondering what you can do for people with croked teeth, ar veneers still an option. My 2 front teeth ar slightly further foward than the ones either side? I look forward to hearing from you.
A.
Hi
Many thanks for your question. There are usually several options for correcting tooth position and alignment. Veneers are an option especially if you are also unhappy with the shape and colour of the teeth, however this treatment usually involves removing a small amount of healthy tooth. Other options include 6 month smiles, inman aligner, and invisalign. these would all reposition the teeth but not change the shape or colour.
I hope this helps

Q. Hello I am a 17 year old and my front two teeth are forward and so they are not straight and alinged with the other teeth.Can an inman aligner fix this and push these front teeth back so my teeth would be perfectly straight? Also, would I have to remove teeth for this? Thanking you
A. It really depends on how your teeth look an Inman aligner may straighten them if not a fixed brace or invisalign may be other options.

A. I guess if veneers aren’t possible then you might have to try a brace to close the spaces.

Q. Hi There, I have a tongue thrust, and it is causing my two front teeth to separate in an upside down V. This is concerning to me because I wore braces for 4 years (about 7 years ago) and did speech therapy to re-train my tongue. I have a night guard that I wear although not regularly because it is uncomfortable, despite that it is in rest that the pushing occurs. Would veneers be a viable option to correct this cosmetically, while continuing to wear a guard at night?
A. Yes veneers might help but you’ll need a new reatiner to stop them moving

Q. Hello there, Sorry to bother you but I have two quick questions if you could answer them please? I have previously had fixed braces (both) when I was younger, my bottom brace only stayed on for 4 weeks instead of 6 months as planned. I then had them both removed (after having top on for 1 1/5yrs prior to bottom) and wore the retainer 24 hrs a day for the year. I then went for the yearly check up point and my retainer was taken off of me. My teeth went wonky within months, and I have been too scared to go back. I get really upset about my teeth and suffered alot with braces to still have wonky teeth. I am 19 and in full time education and have swapped dentist now. My wisdom teeth have been coming through for a year and causing me grief, will they fit braces with the wisdom teeth growing through and are they likely to get funded by the NHS? Sorry its so long and hope its understandable for you to answer. Many thanks
A. Hi, thanks for you questions. I wouldn’t expect you to get braces on the NHS and you may need to have the wisdom teeth removed before you have any other orthodontic treatment.

Q. Hello DR Butt, I used to wear braces a long time ago. After my braces were taken off i was given retainers to wear for a few months. But now i feel as if my frount teeth are sticking out to much. Iv still got my retainers will they help push my frount teeth back if i start wearing them again? Or what else can i do? Hope you can help me because they really do annoy me! Regards
A. hi if your retainers still fit they may push them back.if they do not your teeth have moved as you probably did not wear the retainers for long enough or properly and you will probably have to go through some orthodontics again

Q. Hello Dr Butt, My question is about the Inman Aligner, I have had mine in since the end of August, the first three weeks were great I could really feel and see the difference in my front teeth. The last four weeks or so I have said to my dentist that I can’t see or feel any movement which is the main part of the treatment. My dentist is now telling me that I should get a Clearstep like brace to finish it off for a further cost. I thought the Inman was all that was needed to complete the treatment – what can I do??
A. hi
the inman is usually a 12 week treatment depending on how long you wear it each day
it aligns the teeth pretty well but for fine detail finishing clear aligners can be used.
it depends if you are happy to finish where you are or want to continue and get a nicer result.
it is normal for the inman not to feel as tight as the teeth move into the right position so dont worry about this.

Q. Hi Dr Solanki, I have a narrow tooth to the left of my front teeth and to the left of that tooth I have a fang tooth which I really hate the appearance and feeling of, it is positioned a bit higher than my other teeth and when my mouth is closed if you press along my mouth you can clearly feel a difference there, also when smiling it does not look good. I love to smile but past few years I smile alot less with my mouth open, it does affect me and in general most of my teeth need fixing eg; straightened, some reshaped to look even and whitened. I was wondering what could be done to help with my upper left fang tooth so it looks normal and also for all my teeth to be straight, even and white? I would prefer not to have braces. Hope you can make some sense of what I am asking for here and also any general pricing to give me an idea would be great. Many Thanks.
A. Thanks for your questions, although you would prefer not to have braces, I would encourage you to look into the various types of braces which are available today. There are systems which can work in as little as six weeks, as well as systems which are virtually invisble. If however this is really not for you, you may wish to consider having the teeth veneered. The veneers could be used to alter the size, shape, colour and overall aesthetic appearance of your teeth, to create the smile you desire. I hope this helps.
Many Thanks

Q. My son just had braces placed yesterday and is having trouble finding things to eat because he can’t chew and it’s painful, therefore, he’s been going hungry. Can u offer any ideas for some foods he can try, especially at school, so he doesn’t starve himself to death??
A. The first two weeks are the toughest getting used to all the wires! Soft foods are best soups and pastas seem to be most popular. Some painkillers initally can help, ask for orthodontist for tooth wax that goes over the braces to stop them rubbing.

Q. Hi there. I have been unhappy with the gaps in my upper and lower teeth. I had them recently filled but still i have a gummy smile and not all the gaps in my lover set of teeth could be filled because the gaps were to big. What other treatments could i get to get a really nice stright smile? Thanks for your time.
A. You need to have your teeth assessed properly you may be able to have the spaces closed with braces either fixed metal or invisalign. Another option may be porcelain veneers as this could also reduce the gummy smile.

Q. Hi I had braces when I was about 11 years old and at that time braces was not such a common thing like today. However,when I took off my braces, it left the trace of the braces of my front two teeth and I have practically been living with that for the past 8 years. I know it’s because of decalsification of the enamel or something like that. So basically you can see the brackets of the braces on the fron
t too teeth and its stands out because it is a different whitish color. Can I do anything to get rid of this? It does lower my self esteem in a way and I wish my orthodontist had warned me about it at that time so I would have taken extra precaution. I just want to smile with confidence. I also have some a problem with some of my teeth being yellow. Is there anything that can be done?
A. You could try micr0abrasion where the surface is removed and a cosmetic filling is plced over the defects to blend it in. it is difficult to give you options without seeing you.

Q. Dear Rob, I am a 17 year old who used to wear braces about 2 years back.I wore retainers for a year (day and night) but after that I stopped wearing it. Recently I noticed my wisdom tooth starting to grow and I feel my front two teeth have come forward a bit. Is this possible? The rest of my teeth are strait but the front two teeth are a bit forward-unlike how it was before. How do I push it back again? Do I need braces? If so do I have to take off teeth again to move it back?
A.
Hi the teeth can crowd at the same time that wisdom teeth appear but it is less clear whether its caused by the wisdom teeth. You could start using a retainer again. Reversing the effect would need a thorough clinical assesment before answering.
Regards Rob

Q. Dear Mr Bohara, When i was around 15 i was referred to a orthodontist, I cancelled the appointment and didn’t continue with my treatment. Two of front teeth stick out like ”vampire teeth”. I was just wondering how much it would cost me to have braces and how long do you think i would have to keep them on for!
A. Hi
You would require a consultation initially to see what your treatment options would be. The cost would be depndable on the type of sytem you wish i.e damon, invislalign, six months smiles, etc
The cost could vary from £2000 to £4000 dependable on the system and complexity. The time required for the treatment would be dependable on the complexity.
