Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

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.

Can I hv more aligners as I m not happy with the final results?

Friday, October 30th, 2009

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

How much would six month smile and invisalign roughly cost?

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

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.
Many Thanks

Can invisalign be an alternate treatment for braces?

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

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.

Is there any possibility to extract as many teeth to hv avg smile?

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

Q. As an early teen I had chipped the top, front 6 of my teeth rollerblading. They felt loose for a while and had always bothered me the way they healed. It bothers me how my front teeth are displayed slightly misaligned to my left and with an overbite as well. The Army Dentist insisted on putting veneers over them. That never did anything to fix the misalignment problem of the front two top teeth being aligned under my nose. It seems the injury I must have suffered as a kid made the teeth grow in this way after they healed. I am disappointed and finished with the idea of trying to salvage my smile at this point in my life. I am wondering if you may be able to let me know if there is a possibility that there is a Dentist out there that would extract my front, top 6 teeth or as many as needed to have an average looking smile that is aligned under my nose. Thanks very much

A. if the teeth are healthy you should look into clear positioner orthodontics such as clearstep or invisalign

What would you recommend other than braces?

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

Q. hello there, i’m 23 years old and i hate my teeth. i have 2 large front teeth and have fangs either side. my bottom teeth are really crooked. can my front teeth be cut down? i don’t really want braces on show. what do you reccommend? roughly how much does it cost? and how long will it take? thank you

A. Although you don’t want a brace it might be your best option in the long-term. You could try a fixed brace such as 6-month smile cost approx £2500 or Invisalign from £3000. These treatments would take around 6-12 months to complete.

Is its necessary to have tooth shaving with inman aligners?

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

Q. Do you still need tooth shaving (interproximal reduction)with the inman aligners?

A. Thanks for your question, it is not always necessary to have Interproximal Reduction when having the Inman aligner treatment. The need for reduction would depend on the amount of space available between the teeth. I hope this helps, but please do not hesitate to contact me again if you require any further information.
Kind Regards

Is using elastic bands normal treatment for an overbite?

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

Q. My daughter is 16 and has some mild crowding in the upper and lower arches, she also has a deep anterior bite and a slightly untidy posterior bite on the left side. She has been told that this can be corrected with Invisalign but she would also have to use elastic bands which would be anchored with small metal hooks – can you tell me is this normal treatment for an overbite with Invisalign? She is devastated that Invisalign won’t be so invisible after all. Your reply would be much appreciated.

A. Extra elastics are sometimes necessary.  Although the brace will not be completely invisible it will certainly look far better than conventional braces

My top front teeth are straight except one how can I get it fixed?

Sunday, October 18th, 2009

Q. my top row of teeth are straight except one, it beside the front teeth. It sticks out further then the rest, i was was wondering what i should do to fix it and a guess on how much it would cost. people told me to get braces but if i got those will i have to get them for all my front teeth?

A. The best solution is some form of orthodontics to move the teeth into the correct position. In my practice I use invisalign to do this as it is virtually invisable and patients cope with it very well.  The usual treatment time is 6 to 8 months compared to standard brace work that is often 2 to 3 years.  We give a complimentary free bleaching treatment at the end of the process to give you a whiter smile if you wish.  Please contact my practice if you are interested. The typical cost of treatment is £3300

Ive a crossbite will invisalign help me out on this

Saturday, October 17th, 2009

Q. Hi, I was wondering if you could help. I think I have a crossbite; my teeth dont sit properly against each other, and if i try toi, my bottom front teeth go behind my top teeth, although my jaw is quite forward so doesnt seem like an underbite. This makes my mouth curve down making me look unhappy even though I’m not, and makes my mouth and jaw look small compared to the rest of my face. I was wondering if invisilign might help this, or surgery, or if this is even something that can be fixed. It feels like my jaw is out of line but I guess I’m use to it so havent done anything. thanks a lot foryour time

A. You may well require surgery as ti sounds as though you have a problem with your relative jaw positions.

I’m 55 what is the best option to straighten my front teeth

Saturday, October 17th, 2009

Q. I’m 55 and have crossed front teeth, upper and lower-is it too late to have anything done and if not what would be my best option for straightening. Thanks

A. You could try braces for moderate crwding, perhaps using invisable braces such as the Invisalign Technique which we find works really well for straightening adults teeth. If the teth are only slightly crowded then veneers might be an option. This is much quicker although this involves some preparation of the teeth.

Can I hv aligners for my bottom teeth Plz advice

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

Q. Hi! i would appreciate your guidance. My bottom teeth have moved over thelast two years,i believe due to me biting down on my back teeth when i am stressed and at the time i went through a personal trauma. I have been to see one harley street authordontist who recomended invisalign. It was completely out of my budget. I have noticed that it has affected my smile,i have a big smile and haave no problem with my confidence but i am growing increasingly upset by my teeth,especially seeing perfectly straight teeth in photos only two years previous. I have just been researching veneers,although i would not like my own teeth removed or ground down to have them. This evening i have just found out about the inman aligner,i am really interested. How do i get advice on what is truly the best option for my teeth? I hope you can help… Regards

A. hi,
if the teeth affected are the ones between the anterior canines then it is likely it can be helped with the inman.
look for a dentist near you or if you prefer any of my clinincs will offer a free consultation.
