Hello...

I'm just looking for some quick advice on a couple of thing's.

Basically the only issue I have with my teeth is that my front teeth on the bottom row(not the big one's at the back) are crowded. They are all over the shop If I'm honest. They are all behind each other and so on. I didn't want a brace when I was little as going through school with one filled me with dread. I'm happy with the top ones but more on that later.

I've read about invisalign and Inman braces to sort this out, from what I can gather the Inman is cheaper and quicker so right now that's the one but what severity of crowding can it fix?

Also regarding the top deck, I got into a fight the other night and some now hospitalised aggressor cracked the bottom of one of my top front teeth. Due to my work It might be a while before I can see my dentist so what can be done about that?

Thanks for any replies

The Inman aligner has very specific movements so it's not possible to say whether it is suitable without a consultation. Saying that, I have straightened very crooked teeth using the system

With regards to your broken tooth, you need to see a dentists urgently. If it has been traumatised it may cause problems and the sooner it is checked the better

Hope this helps

Kindest regards

I've just read a report in the Daily Mail which say's the Inman can only sort moderate over crowding problems which rules me out.

What can be done for more sever cases?

Thanks for your help thus far.

The Inman aligner can be used in certain severe cases. I'm in the middle of a very severe case at the moment and should be done in about 4 months, she was quoted a treatment time of 2 1/2 years with fixed braces.

Alternatively you could consider traditional braces or Invisalign

Just to add some more information, this picture will help...



My teeth are similair but worse. Those two particular teeth in the picture that sit back are my problem ones but mines are further back. I'd say a whole tooth back, like there should be one In front of it. Would I be suitable for the Inman aligner?

[Dr Pav Khaira]

Yes, that is actually a mild case. That photo takes specialist dental equpiment and it has been taken well. I'm curious as to how you managed to do that?! Or should I say who did that for you?

Two words mate. Copy and paste. I actually took the picture off the Inman website, that's not my gob, I wish though

It's similair to me but I'm worse, going by my earlier description what is your opinion?

[Dr Pav Khaira]

Can't see a problem with that in the slightest. That is actually a very mild case and the Inman should have that sorted in about 6 weeks

Glad to hear it, I thought because my teeth are worse than that picture I'd be ruled out. Great.

Cheer's Pav...

I recognise the picture from the Inman website.

The case is mild because there's plenty space to pull the teeth forward.

It's important as part of the initial assessment to evaluate the degree of overlap
