Would you recommend Inman aligner for straightening my teeth?

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

Q. Hello , i am 22 years old, i am in london for about 3 years and i am asylum seeker i dont work and i cant work but can you tell me how much is fees to straighten my upper front teeth for inman aligner treatment? and and if its affordable can i pay treatment fees in installments? and if not then can u tell me which is fast and easy way to straighten my teeth? and can u suggest any doctor who do inman aligners treatment in india? waiting for your reply . Thank you.

A. Thanks for your questions, the cost for the Inman aligner will vary between practices, but I am currently offering this service from £999. Many cosmetic dental practices do offer payment plans, but to the best of my knowledge, you (or your partner) would need to be in employment. The Inman aligner is one of the most cost effective and quickest treatments available to straighten teeth. I would suggest, that you research providers in India on the internet. Kind Regards.

I m 19 could you advice me on achieving celebrity smile?

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

Q. heya i am only young being 19 and hate my teeth and smile. i was offered braces when i was younger however i never wanted them i regret this decission now and would like advice on how i can achieve that celebrity smile? i really need your help.

A. Thanks for your questions. There are many teeth straightening products available, with some acheiving results in as little as six weeks and other which are virtually invisible. I would suggest that your first step should be to arrange a consultation appointment, either with an Orthodontist or a cosmetic dental practice which offer teeth straightening. There are many practices who will offer free initial consultations, to allow you to discover your options and the associated prices without any financial commitment. Many of these practices will also have the facility to ofer payment plans such as, interest free credit to help you spread the cost of the treatment. I hope that this will be of assistance bu turge you to contact you again should you require further information.
Many Thanks

What is the cause for my uneven teeth growth?

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Q. hi, my teeth are quite small for my age. i’m 16 and only noticed this 1 year ago after an orthodontist pointed it out to me. My molars are maybe 2-3mm out of my gums and my other teeth are less than an inch out of my gums. is this strange or common, furthermore, my to front teeth overlapped as i grew up. is this related?

A. Size of teeth and crowding/spacing are related.  The size of your teeth oftens relates to your general body size.

Could you advice me on straightening of teeth?

Monday, October 19th, 2009

Q. hello Doc, I am 34 years old and I have a primary tooth between my front tooth and the #2. it protrudes infront the #2, which is still there but twisted behind it. the primary tooth is also shaking slightly. I’ve been to the dentist and i was told i might have to do an extraction. the dentist also gave me this explanation for my top row i hope you can understand. 432112234 the 1s are the two front teeth and they count in both directions as you can see, i have two #2s on the right one of them being the primary tooth… my smile is not one im very proud of so is there any advice you can give me in terms of getting it straightened out? thanks a mil!

A. Its difficult to give you exact ideas without seeing you but one option might be removing the extra tooth and then having them straightened with something like invisalign.

Does expanders create gaps and causes teeth to come forward?

Monday, October 19th, 2009

Q. Dear Dr., im wearing expanders (upper jaw) and suppose to remove it next week.then il be getting my bracers to push my teeth back which are abit forward earlier.. but my front teeth have come EVEN MORE FORWARD now and looks bad than earlier. so my quetion is, other than creating gaps between teeth, does the expanders causes teeth to come forward?can this be corrected?

A. hi many thanks for your email, the expander will expand the whole jaw so yes initially this will cause all the teeth to move outwards. the brace will then be placed to then bring the teeth all back into allignment and close the gaps, this should then solve the problem. hope this is helpful.

I m 20 Will I be missing two teeth as they hv turned black?

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

Q. yesterday my two front lower teeth moved and when i got home i notice their where turning black from the bottom and is soo weird because my teeth are healthy soo my question is am i going to be a 20 year girl missing two teeth?:(

A. It may be that you have hit these these causing them to become lose. Otherwise it maybe that over time your teeth have moved and you have only just noticed.
Please book an appointment with a dentist.

What would be the treatment for having invisible braces?

Monday, October 12th, 2009

Q. Hi dr rob…. I am now 27 and had a number of removable braces from the age of 14-16 than a fixed brace from 16 till I was nearly 19. I was really happy with the results, but shortly after having this removed my bottom teeth all crossed over again. I did visit my orthodontist about this but told ne at the time all they could do would be to file each tooth down then put a fixed brace on again. I was concerned about the health of my teeth filing them so did not go ahead. Since I have remained unhappy with my teeth but thought there was nothing that could be done, until I heard recently about invisable braces. I would like to look into this but feel that as the job wasn’t done properly in the first place that to pay for this now would be unfair. My top teeth have now also moved since I have a wisdom tooth coming through, and now I am feeling unhappy with these also. I was also told I would never get any wisdom teeth!! What would be your suggestion for how I go treatment from here?? Kind regards

A.

My first impression is that you are unlikely to get funding for invisible braces. Also all braces need space to move teeth around and so even Clearstep or Invisalign may need “interproximal stripping” ( removing enamel between teeth) to create space. After treatment you will need to wear lifetime retainers.
Hope this helps

Could you suggest the right brace with best results for cheapest plan?

Monday, October 12th, 2009

Q. Hi Dr, I’m a 26 year old female. I have buck tooth, I used to suck my thumb until a very late age. I wouldn’t say they are that bad but I would like to straighten my teeth. Obviously without looking you wouldn’t be able to tell me how long it will take. Maybe I should pop in for a consultation. I don’t have buckets loads of cash so am looking for the right brace with the best results. I’m saving my pennines now… well I need to buy my bed first then I’ll save after that! Do you have a flexi plan? Maybe not, just asking as some Dentistries do. I have Overjet, Open bite and a Misplaced midline. Regards

A. You need to book in for a consultation with an orthodontist. Every clinic offers different payments plans.
If you would like a recommendation i can recommend my collegue Dr Darsh Patel. For enquires about cost, availability and payment plans, please contact hte clinic directly at info@umbrellasmiles.com

Is there a way to get my lower teeth lined up?

Monday, October 12th, 2009

Q. My question is about my lower teeth, 4 to 5 of them are overcrowded but also some are kind of chipped but do not have a hole in them. Is there a way to get them to line up in every way?

A. You could have the teeth straightened and then have the chipped teeth re built.  You need to have a consultation to see what options are available.

Could I get Inman Aligners after having veneer treatment.Plz suggest

Sunday, October 11th, 2009

Q. Dear Dr Glaister, My top row of teeth are neat but the two front teeth stick out and they are longer than I would like. I was wondering: – is it possible to get teeth trimmed and to what extent (e.g. is it only the enamel part that can be trimmed?). Would it be necessary to have veneers fitted on the trimmed teeth – Could I get Inman Aligners even after having veneer treatment already? Many thanks and best regards

A. Teeth can be recontoured, but only slighly. If you are considering the Inman Aligner, you would have to have this done before having veneers.

I m 14,will I be able to get the braces and whats the cost?

Saturday, October 10th, 2009

Q. Hiya, I’m 14 and have just been advised to get braces :( . I have a huge overbite due to sucking my thumb at an early age and I really hate it. I’m really interested in getting my teeth straightened, have deneers and having my teeth whitened. Will I be able to get this treatment at my age and how much will it cost? Thanks.

A. At your age you can have braces on the NHS at no cost, however this does depends on your case but it sounds like you may be a candidate.
Veneers are not recommended at your age. I think you will find that once your  teeth are straightened you will not need veneers. If you would like to whiten your teeth i advise you wait till you are 18.
Kind regards

Treatment for misalligned and over crowded teeths

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

Q. my teeth are misalligned and are over crowded..what treatment could you recommend other than braces. i dont mind teeth being removed if the outcome will be that they are straight thanks

A. Thanks for your e-mail, there are many Orthodontic products available through dental practices, with treatment times starting at as little as four weeks. However, if you have decided this is not a route you wish to take, I would advise that you visit a cosmetic dentist to discuss the possibililty of using Veneers to assist in creating you a perfect new smile.  I hope that this will be of assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me if you require further advise. Kindest regards. Dr Kailesh Solanki.

Options for straight beautiful teeth for the older people

Sunday, September 20th, 2009

Q. I am 61 years old and as seems to be with many older people I have considerable movement of my lower teeth resulting in them bunching in the front. My upper teeth now also appear to be moving and I would like to have them corrected. Is this possible? I should say I enjoy good health both orally and physically and participate in regular excercise and have never smoked. I visit the dentist for check ups regularly but have been told I am too old to bother with this. Your opinion would be appreciated.

A. You are never too old !! You have as much right as anyone to have straight beautiful teeth if that is what you want.  Provided you have healthy gums your options will be orthodontics, veneers, crowns, bridges or implants.  Please come and see me for a free cosmetic consultation to discuss these matters further

I have 4 tooth removed nd braces fixed but my jaw looks misaligned?

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

Q. Hello there,i was wondering if you could help me.When i was about 12 i had 4 larger teeth removed towards the back of my mouth.2 on the top and 2 on the bottom.I had these removed due to overcrowding.I then had fixed train track braces fitted on the top and bottom of my teeth.I had these fixed for about a year but i had them removed as i was getting constant headaches and we thought this might be causing the problem.Since having the teeth removed and the braces fitted my appearence has totally changed.My jaw is completely crooked which is totally noticeable, especially in photographs where i cannot stand to look at myself.My face itself has become alot longer and thinner and the the pallet in my mouth has caved in.Instead of being a nice u shape it is much more like a v shape and it feels as though i am biting on the side of my teeth.When i have seen my dentists they say that there is nothing wrong but this has being really bothering me for years and it is my crooked jaw that really upsets me and i am desperate to try and sort this out and have a straight face again.Please can you help me.Look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.

A. If your problem is purely a tooth position issue a brace will sort out your issues.  However it sounds as though your jaw growth has been uneven over the years.  This is unlikely because of your tooth extractions.  If this is the case you may need surgery to reposition your upper and lower jaws possibly in combination with a fixed brace
