Hi there. My two front upper teeth are a little crooked. The left is overlapping the right tooth. The rest of my teeth are pretty straight upper and lower. It’s only the front two that are bothering me. I’ve been for a consultation at my local dentist and was recommended six month braces, but I want to avoid wired braces. After looking around I’m considering Simpli5 and wanted your opinion and a rough idea how much they would cost. Thank you.
Hi Dr Moore. I have a question that I hope you can answer. My front tooth stick’s out further than the other and is overlapping the other tooth. It has pushed my other front tooth backwards. So basically my main front two teeth both need to be straightened. Would Simpli5 braces fix this? What does the procedure involve? It really annoys me and I’d like it fixed as soon as possible. Thank you.
Hi Andrew. I’ve had normal braces before through the NHS and they came off early as they kept braking all the time. I have gaps at the front but my teeth are all straight. Would Simpli5 be an option? Or would Invisalign be more suitable? If Simpli5 were suitable and they were on for 3 months for example how much would this cost? Or would I need to see a consultant? I hope to hear back from you, and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I am on my last set of simpli5 aligners, when I had the 3rd aligner fitted I noticed it fitted my teeth very badly, I gradually noticed one of my front teeth started moving away from the brace, leaving a gap between the tooth and the brace, this gap remained in brace 4 and its still there in brace 5. My dentist has said if it doesn’t catch up and move forward, we will return to brace 3 then 4 then 5 again. How will the previous aligners fit if each brace has moved my teeth? I was also told at the consultation that I would have X-rays but I didn’t end up having any. He has also said I may need to purchase another set of aligners. I just can’t help thinking the aligners have got ahead of my teeth now they are in the wrong position altogether, surely when the dentist fitted each new set he would know if I was ready for the next aligner?
Hi. I’ve wanted to straighten my front
teeth for a long time as one slightly crosses over the other.
However I wanted a brace fitted for the shortest possible time and something clear so no one can tell I’m wearing one.
Which type of brace would you recommend?
I’ve looked at lingual and simpli5 but I’m unsure as to whether either would
be suitable as my front teeth cross at the bottom. Many thanks, it’s much appreciated.
Hi. I am a 34 yr old male considering invisalign for my top and bottom teeth. I am wondering if any dentist who is trained can do the job or if it is preferable to see an orthodontiist? Since it is computer generated, it seems fool proof. However I know someone who has had quite a bad experience with a dentist recently and they were having braces done to straighten teeth. it doesn’t really strike me as the kind of thing that one can mess up. Obviously I don’t know about these treatments though, it’s just that I hadn’t really heard of braces being a source of bad news from a dentist. It always has seemed like the safest treatment that they can offer you in my mind. I suppose on of my questions would be, is there any chance that my teeth can be realigned incorrectly by a dentist? And, also I am wondering if invisalign, clear correct and simpli5 are comparable products? Thank you.
I had simply five on my teeth now for 7 and a half months. The bottom alignment went fine, but the top kept pulling on the opposite side teeth. My bite is now completely misaligned. Not that you would look at me and see that my bite is off, but when I close my mouth the one top tooth bangs off the bottom. The 2 teeth on the top never went back to being corrected. It was as though they worked on the wrong side by mistake. She made me a retainer in her office to try to do the final adjustment, but my bite is way off. Do you have any advice?
hi,
i want to know that is ” simpli5″ and “6 month smile” is the same thing.
Do you perform “simpli5” treatment?
Is it without wire?
Thanks,
Dear all,
I am a 35 year old woman and I just took off 6months braces to close up a huge gap between my 2 front teeth (incisors), which i wore for a year. I took them off on the 13th of July 2010 and i am not happy with the result. At present i have 3 issues – One – I didnt get the retainer on the day i took out the braces till 4days after and the gap started opening up, Two- my overbite size is increasing as i do not have proper retainers. three my mid line has shifted and 4 my lower jaw is shifting to the right on its own i am making a consious effort to hold it together. its been a month since i took off the braces and i am yet to have a permanent retainer. i have complained to him and his story keeps changing. i need to confirm if this is normal process. so i can address this issues i have with him properly. i basically didnt get the treatment i was expecting.
Also he didnt do an xray before we started the treatment is that normal
thanking you in Advance.
i have one tooth at the front of my mouth the upper right lateral which has fallen back slightly behind the upper right central and upper right cuspid. how much would it cost for this to be brought forward. To straighten them.
