Can a Healthy Tooth be Pulled and Replaced with an Artificial One?

Friday, September 5th, 2014
Q.

Hi,
I have completely straight teeth, except for one canine tooth that took too long to come back in after my baby teeth fell out and didn’t have enough room to come down – it is raised and protruding. I can’t afford braces and am getting married next summer. I refuse to show my teeth when I smile, especially for pictures, because of it. I asked the dentist/orthodontist about extraction but they acted like it wasn’t an option because of that being an important tooth. Can’t the tooth be pulled and a false tooth be somehow permanently placed in the space where this tooth should’ve been? It doesn’t seem right that braces could be the only option for one tooth.

It is an ethical dilemma to re… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I Want To Know If I Can Have Braces Through Two Separate Orthodontists In Different Parts Of The World?

Tuesday, August 5th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr. Riten, I am relocating to the UK from India in a couple of weeks. I am 25 years old and I need your advice on cosmetic dentistry.

My upper front teeth lie ahead of the lower front teeth. I wanted to get braces but heard the medical expenses in London are very steep.

So, I wanted your advice:
1. If I get the braces process started in India, will dentists in London take up the case and treat me?

2. What is the cost of getting braces in UK?

3. Anything else that you can suggest.

If needed, could I also send across my full mouth x-ray.

I look forward to your response.

Thanks.

Q.

Hello Dr Moore, I hope you can help me. I am 22 years old and would like some work doing on my teeth I have no idea what my options are or what treatments are available and I am wondering where to start. Do I book a consultation with cosmetic or should I speak to my regular dentist first an see what options are available? My second tooth to the left of my front tooth is only just cutting however it isn’t growing in the space but on top of another tooth which is realigning my front tooth and the one it’s growing above. Do you know what type of treatment I’ll need. Thank you.

Hi, I’m 17. Am I Eligible For Any Reduction In Costs For Orthodontic Treatment?

Thursday, October 31st, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. I’m 17 years old and in full time education, would I qualify or get some money off braces because I’m still in education? My teeth are almost straight but my four front teeth have started over-lapping, no one else can notice it yet although I know it’s gradually getting worse. The teeth on my lower jaw are completely fine and my dentist says I have no overbite. How much would braces cost and how long do you think I’d need them for? Also, will my teeth continue to get worse or will my jaw begin to settle as I’m 17? Cheers, it’s much appreciated, really hope you can help.

I’d Like Straight Teeth But I’m Not Sure About Braces, What About This New Aerodentis Treatment?

Tuesday, September 3rd, 2013
Q.

Hi, I was just wondering if you have ever heard of Aerodentis? I would like to have straight teeth but really do not want to get a brace! I have been looking at lingual braces but I’m not sure I could afford them. Also the inman aligner, which is much more affordable but still not really suitable! I’ve read that it’s quite bulky and I don’t think I would have the confidence to wear it whilst at work or generally out and about. Aerodentis looks like a really good option but there’s very little information about it online! I would just like to know if it works, the overall length of treatment and how much it costs and if you have ever come across it before? Thanks, this would really help me.

Yes I have heard about it and … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Are There Any Better Brace Deals Than The One I Have Been Offered?

Friday, March 8th, 2013
Q.

Hi,

I’ve got some x-rays, impressions and a cast from a clinic based in London.

They offered me a ICE ceramic brace on my upper jaw.
the payment is £1147 on the 1st visit then £100 each adjustment time until the completion.

The clinic will need to receive £200 deposit 1.5 weeks prior to the brace fitting.

– Bite raising 1.5 week depending on how the teeth and bone react

– ICE ceramic brace on the upper jaw/outside.

-And activation (includes material replacement)  £100 will be payable on each visit for about 12 – 18 months, so the full course of treatment will be in the region of £2447.

The cost also includes the brace removal and retainer. But I want a gum contouring to.

Do you know if any clinics in London could offer me a better payment plan?
And can I get some dental insurance or a dental loan anywhere?

All the best.
