I thought receiving a permanent brace was a quick and cheap procedure, so why have I been quoted so much?

Friday, August 10th, 2012
Q.

Hi, I am wanting to have my top left front and the two directly next to this front one to the left straightened. I have had a consultation with my dentist who has informed me that an Inman or Invisalign type brace won’t work and that I need to have a permanent brace fitted at nearly double the cost of the other two. I have looked at pictures on the internet and some of the images that have used both the above type braces have had teeth that look severely more out of line than mine are. I wonder if you could give me some advice. I have been quoted £1,500 for an Inman and £1,900 for a Invisalign but up to £3,000 for a permanent brace. I am quite upset as I thought this was a quick and relatively affordable procedure. I am 43 and would prefer not to have the permanent brace.

Is it possible to have the Invisalign treatment when my wisdom teeth are starting to come through?

Friday, August 10th, 2012
Q.

Hello,
I have recently looked into the invisalign option to straighten six of my top front teeth, and was wondering if you could help me please. A recent dental x-ray revealed I have four wisdom teeth ready to grow out, all seemingly straight. (my dentist told me the top two and bottom right are fine; the bottom left is slightly tilted.) Is it possible to have invisalign whilst wisdom teeth are coming through, and is it possible to have the invisalign made to fit only over the teeth I require straightening, instead of the full set of top teeth?
Thank you.

Do you think a dental implant will fix the gap in my teeth?

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2012
Q.

My age is 30. In the lower jaw I have natural gap between two teeth. Previously this gap was very small and negligible. now since last 2-3 yrs it is increased. this gap is little less than one tooth size in width.
This is really very irritating, in looks and while eating. I dont have any other teeth problems other than that my all teeths are very yellow and seems like I smoke, actually i don’t. Should i go for implant? If yes do i need to go for 3-4 teeth implants or add single tooth? Does implant last for life and what care is required in the long run? please suggest any other solution otherwise.? Thanking you.

If I had veneers placed after my Invisalign treatment would they be able to provide me with a retainer also?

Saturday, December 4th, 2010
Q.

I am nearing the end of my invisalign treatment (nearly 2 years) and I am unhappy with the results.

I have a bonded retainer at the bottom but it is uncomfortable and the other teeth have moved back causing one to be wobbley, its been like that for the last 8 months.

When I finish the top set my ortho wants another bonded retainer. I think I will want veneers so want to avoid the bonded retainer.

If I get veneers done elsewhere will they still be able to provide me with a retainerk, If so what retainer and how much will it cost?

Thanks

One of my teeth has shifted since I’ve had my braces off, how can I fix this?

Thursday, November 18th, 2010
Q.
Hi Dr I have had the whole process of braces in my teens. I did everything that the dentist told me but for a few years now one tooth had started to move back. Just to let you know its the tooth next to the front two teeth, I think it is called the lateral incisor? I have visited the dentist for several check up’s and every time she says there is nothing that she can do to move the tooth forward to its original position.Overall I have nice teeth but its that one tooth that makes my whole smile look wonky. What do you think I should do? Thank you,

I am concerned about the method of filing teeth for Invisalign. Can you tell me if it is a safe and necessary option?

Tuesday, November 9th, 2010
Q.
Dear Dr Verma Please can you confirm if “filing” teeth is a good (or only) solution with Invisalign? I do not like the idea as I am afraid that: 1. 0.5mm (recommended in my case on 3 teeth) seems a lot and will weaken my teeth 2. Could look very unattractive if any small mistake is made 3. Seems extremely unpleasant procedure Thanks in advance for your advice. Kind regards. Worried prospective Invisalign patient aged 44 years old,
