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.

Q. Hello Doctor,I’m 13 years old. The 2 teeth to the sides of my front 2 teeth are slightly rotated and leaves a gap when I smile. I’ve been to the orthodontics and they refuse to give me treatment under the NHS. So i would like to know what the best treatment to straighten my side 2 teeth would be, also i would like to know the approximate amount of the treatment if i did it privately. Thankyou
A. You have the option of private fixed braces or invisalign, costings vary from £2000 upwards.

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. I am on my last aligner. I still feel that my teeth can be more straighter wih more alighners. could I ask for more aligners? Thanks
A. Thanks for your questions, this would depend onthe system you have used. If you have had Invisalign type treatment, you should be able to return to your dentist for refinement. This will involve taking further impressions and having more aligners made to acheive the results you are expecting. Please do not hesitate to contact me again if you need further assistance.

Q. Dr Solanki, Would a product like Invisalign be suitable for someone who has a crown on one of their two front top teeth and a double winged bridge on one of their lower left teeth? Are there any other options that could be used that have the same effect of straightening teeth that have gaps between them that could be used? Thank you for your time
A. Thanks for your questions, it is still possible to have Orthodontic treatment when you have crowns and bridges, Although I would recommend that any new restorations are delayed until after orthodontic treatment. There are many different methods for teeth straightening, each with their own advantages, such as invisble braces and braces which can work in as little as six weeks. I would recommend that you consult with a dentist or orthodontist to gain advise on which system would be best suited to your particular case.
Many thanks

Q. Dear Mr Bohara, My top central incisors or the teeth shown when u smile closest to the nose. Have been pushed outwards to such a degree that, when i smile you cannot see many teeth and definitely not my top set of teeth. This is highly embarrassing for me, are there anyways i can push them back in??. I presume this was caused due to the fact that, i used to suck my thumb throughout my child hood. Causing my teeth to be pushed outwards. What can i use to push my teeth inwards? can i use removable retainers? rather than fixed braces??
A.
Hi
Your possible options may be
1. damon braces
2. invisalign
Of course you would require a full examination, to give you a definitive treatment option. I hope this helps.

Q. I recently have finished my treatment with invisalign with a clinic in harley street. Yet, me teeth are still protruding from the front.Although,the arch in my mouth is now aligned. I expected my front two teeth to be pushed in completely. I now have been told that I will have to have 4 teeth taken out and fixed braces for 18 months for them to be pushed in. Are there any other options which can be taken as this treatment is very long?
A. Hi
Unfortunately it is impossible to give options without looking at the mouth. If you have concerns, then you may consider getting other opinions from other clinics. Sorry i cant help more than that.

Q. Hi I have wonkey teeth and i was wondering would braces straighten them out without having major surgery? And can you get clear braces? Look forward to hearing from you Thank You
A. Thanks for your questions, braces are used to straighten misaligned teeth, but I would recommend that you visit a dental professional to find out for certain if this is suitable for your particular case. There are clear brace systems on the market now which can be used, such as Invisalign and Clearstep. I wish you well with your treatment.

Q. Hi Dr Solanki . i had treatment to straighten my teeth using invisalign and i have just finished my treatment of using Invisalign. i have been told just to wear it while im sleeping. the problem is that my teeth were normal before i started the treatment just not straight but now they are straight but i cant bite properly. only my wisdom teeth are touch when i bite the rest do not touch. this really hurts. i was wondering if this is common and is it suppose to happen? will it sort itself out or will i need to see a specialist? if it will sort itself out how long would this take? How can this problem be rectified? your help would be greatly appreciated
A. Hi
Thanks for your question, this is a problem which can occur if the Invisalign aligners do not extend as far back as the wisdom teeth, possible because they have erupted since the start of the treatment. As you will have worn your aligners for most of the day, your teeth don’t come into contact due to the plastic being in the way. If the aligners are not sitting over the wisdom teeth, then they will continue to erupt until they are touching each other (uppers & lowers). Hence when the aligners are finished the only teeth which bite together are the wisdom teeth. I would recommend that you visit your Invislaign dentist to discuss the problems and the ways to solve this at your earliest convenience in order to stop the pain and discomfort. these options in the short term will be to make a hard splint, take out the upper or lower wisdom teeth or grind down the wisdon teeth so that your other teeth meet. I hope that this helps and wish you well.
Kindest Regards

Q. I have been for a consultation and am a suitable candidate for Invisalign. I am keen to start this as soon as possible however I am also trying to conceive and have been unable to find any information as to whether Invisalign is safe and recomended for pregnant women. Would I be able to continue my treatment as planned if I was to become pregnant?
A. Thanks for your question, if you were to become pregnant during your Invisalign treatment, it should not be a problem. You should be able to carry on with the treatment as planned. I hope this helps.

Q. Hi, I had a brace as a child to correct two prominent front teeth. Which was done successfully, but over the years they have slowly returned to how they were. My question is would it be possible for these teeth to be replaced by implants, or is the only option the lengthy process of having another brace fitted?
A. The most likely option for you would be brace work – possibley invisalign that would be more socially acceptable

Q. Hi, I have been on the Invisalign for about 15 months and I am on my last aligner. I am not totally happy with my final result and wanted to ask what options I have. Could I ask for more aligners from the dentist i am having treatment and will this cost more? Thanks
A. Thanks for your question, you should return to your dentist or Orthodontist where the next stage would be refinement. This will involve new aligners being made to hopefully acheive the results you have been aiming for. Many Thanks

Q. Hi, i am 22 years old and had a traditional train track brace when i was 11, since then my one front tooth has slightlymoved forwards and my cainine teeth have moved upwards to there natural position and want to get them corrected, i dont have a high budget but have seen that the ‘6month smile’ is cheaper than the invisalign‘ how much do these roughly cost?, will the first consultation be free and do you do packages that include whitening?
A. Thanks for your enquiry, there are many straightening treatments available today, from systems which take as little as six weeks to acheive results to those which are virtually invisible. The costs for treatments which vary between systems and practices. However I can tell you that I am currently offering the Inman aligner, with whitening for £999 (for a limited period), but typically our costs for straightening start from around £1500. Many practices do offer a free initial consultation and will also have the facility to offer interest free credit to help spread the payments. I hope this helps.

Q. Hi My problem is a gummy smile which has bothered me for some time now. I have recently just finished quite a lot of dental treatment including invisalign treatment, plus a new bridge, veneers and crowns, whilst my teeth look great I still feel I have a gummy smile, is there any additional treatment I could have to correct this? Many thanks
A. Ideally the gums could have been lifted before your veneers were made. It is very difficult now without having to replace your veneers. You could have had crown lengthening treatmnet which would have reduce the gum amount on show.

Q. Dear doc I had lost my baby tooth after my adult tooth grew in right in front of it and now my teth are crooked is there a way to fix this before my wedding in June?
A. You could look at short term orthodontics such as 6 month smiles or invisalign. You really need a cosmetic consultation to assess your options.

Q. i have had a root filling on one of my front teeth years ago which has discoloured it thus making me a little uncomfortable when i have to smile!! unfortunate for me i work as an air hostess so i have to be all smiley smiley all the time!! i am considering having veneers but want to know alot more about them, ie cost for a full set? what the ups and downs are? do my teeth get damaged? how long do they last? i smoke, so would that effect them? and i am a little scared to just go to anybody as i dont want to be one of those cases where things go wrong and im left with infection or no teeth!? sorry!!
A. hi
if the discolouration of the tooth is really bad then a crown may be more suitable.
for that perfect smile your other teeth may be suitable for veneers which is a thin porcelain covering on the outer surface of the tooth , this usually means that the tooth needs to be drilled to avoid bulkiness when the veneer is placed . the downside is that you are comitting to a non reversible procedure . as time goes on and if your gums receed you will begin to see the join to the tooth near the gum -which is more of a problem if you have a gummy smile otherwise you will be ok.
smoking increases the efects of gum disease and also helps initiate gum disease so can contribute to the long term look of your veneers
costs per tooth vary between 475 to 700 per tooth depending on level of cosmetics
if just the position of your teeth apart from the dark one bothers you but not size and shape consider orthodontics like invisalign

Q. Hi, i am considering invisalign treatment but dont know enough about it yet. My teeth are overcrowded and i am 16 yeears old and would find it difficult around friends at school etc and was wondering if there was any other way of getting my teeth straightend up without proper braces. Can you help with suggestions etc?
A. Invisalign is a great way of straightening teeth especially if you have stopped growing. I f you are still growing a fixed brace may be best – these can be hidden behind the teeth to make them acceptable socially.
