Hi, I’m 27 years old and have big teeth, my top two front teeth are also very forward! Making me look goofy if you like. I hate having my photo taken because they stick out so much and I have really have had enough as it makes me very depressed. I did have a brace that you could take in and out when I was 12 year old but I didn’t wear it! What can be done about this problem? A rough price? Is there some kind of payment plan I can get as this would be preferred.
Hello Doctor, I have a bit of a weird one for you. Basically when I was very young, I didn’t clean my teeth properly and this led to decay in my mouth. I had a few teeth taken out as a child when suffering from severe toothache. Into my teenage years I began cleaning properly and everything, still had to have a few fillings and I think we were on the way to making my teeth strong enough for braces. The top row is quite crooked and one of my front teeth overlaps another. Recently I have had no toothache but am worried about the state of my mouth and want to get it fixed. What problems might I have in later life if there is still some sort of remaining decay that I don’t know about? Are there any serious health risks? I look forward to reading your response. Cheers.
Hi there, Dr Shaffie. I have had to google the names of each tooth so please bare with me haha. Basically, my upper right lateral incisor grew in behind the front row and so I had it removed, but now both my upper central incisor, left lateral incisor and both canine teeth are all crooked. My question is what would be my best option here and at what price would you estimate? Basically I would like to end up with 6 upper front teeth (including the tooth that was removed) looking straight and attractive as possible, thank you. I really hope you can get back to me.
Hi I’m just inquiring about a price for invisalign braces for my top and bottom teeth as my two front teeth stick out a touch and my two bottom teeth cross over. I recently went for a consultation and the dentist told me that I would be a suitable candidate for the invisalign braces and would need to keep them on for about 12 months but that dentist was really expensive so if you could please give me a rough idea of how much it will cost for the treatment from you. Thanks.
Hello Dr Moore, I’d like to tell the problem I have recently really been struggling with. I am Thirty-Nine and had fastbraces for six months last year with elastics from top to bottom. During treatment I had to stop wearing the elastics on one tooth which was not wired down to the others as I was in agony with the tooth being pulled up and out. I told the dentist at the time and he said it would settle back down. Now six months after treatment which was otherwise successful this tooth is noticeably grey – I really don’t know what I should do? – I have totally healthy teeth otherwise, Thank you, I really hope you can help me sort this problem out.
Hello, Dr Patel. My query is that I have a tooth right next to my two top front ones that appears to be moving very far back to the point now when I have a photo people ask if I have a tooth missing, I am extremely upset and distressed by this especially as I am due to get married next year and want to be able to smile in my photograph without worrying at the back of my mind, I had braces when I was younger and foolishly took them out with pliers as I was so self-conscious of them. But now I need to find a way that is cheap, to make me smile again and I am not sure how to do it. Can you provide me with any information? Many thanks.
Hello Mark, my problem is that I have been using braces back in India for proper alignment, yet I am not very satisfied with the work I received, I wonder if I need to have new braces fitted again to get proper alignment? If so how long will such treatment usually take? I’m asking as I’m leaving the UK soon and I’d like to know whether I’d have to stay longer if I got this treatment as I have also been using braces for about two years already. I hope you can help me with this. Thank You.
Hello, Doctor Patel. I’d like to start by telling you firstly that I have a gap about 2-3mm wide between my two front central incisor teeth, and I would like to have the cosmetic bonding treatment on them to close up the gap, but I wanted to know if this would cause me to have any problems speaking, for example, is there a chance that I could start to develop a lisp? Also, I would also like to know if my two front teeth would look rather wide after the treatment has taken place?
Thank you, I really hope you can get back to me on this one.
Hello Dr Moore, I really hope you can help me, I have gaps in my upper top teeth and I really want to close them. I need some advice on what to do to get them closed. I really hate my teeth and it’s always knocked my confidence. I also have a slight overbite which I hate, and the gap is fairly big between my top teeth. I would love cosmetic surgery as I feel that I am too old for braces and I want a fast result. I have no confidence when I smile because of the gap between teeth and I really want it closed. It would make me so much happier. My gums are very exposed to so I have a gummy smile. Thank you for your consideration. Please help me!!
Hello, I was wondering if you could help me? When I was 12 I had braces to open up a space. This space had to be opened up in order to compensate for my missing lateral incisors which had to be replaced with dental implants. Now I am 18 and have been told there is not enough space in the roots to place the actual dental implant and I have been advised to have even more orthodontic treatment, I am just wondering if the braces can be placed over the Maryland bridge I currently have and also how long it would take to open up roughly 4mm of space for dental implants to be placed? Any response will be greatly received, thank you.
