I had a brace when i was younger to straighten my teeth, since one of my wisdom tooth has come through its pushed my front teeth forward and now they are beginning to cross over at the front, its not major, but im worried if my second tooth comes through it will become worse, what would be the best thing i could do to correct this, and make my teeth straight again.

Can I have discreet clear braces on my bottom teeth?

Wednesday, November 24th, 2010
Q.

I’m 23 years old and I’m having braces fitted in a few weeks. I discussed with my orthodontist about having Radiance brackets. I though these would be on the upper and lower teeth but I’ve just found out that they can’t do them on the lower, why is this? Can anything be done to make the metal brackets on the lower teeth look less noticeable? Wont it look silly having clear on the top and metal on the bottom.

Should I get invisalign braces or a six month smile program?

Wednesday, November 24th, 2010
Q.

Hi, I am 24 years old. I have been looking into having my teeth straightened for some time now. I am really unhappy with the appearance of my smile. I have had a consultation with an orthodontist and following x-rays and impressions I have been told that I have over crowding on both upper and lower teeth, my two front top teeth stick out almost 7mm more than my bottom front teeth so I am self conscious of this. I have a gap where one of my molars has been removed and my dentist said that this would cause a problem with invisalign braces. He advised that I have an implant after the orthodontic treatment. I was quoted between £5000-£6000 for invisalign or £2500 for fixed braces with clear brackets and told that they would be fixed for 12-18 months. As I am a teacher I am keen to look into the least noticeable options. Would you recommend the six month smile program? Ho much would it cost in the UK? I live near Cardiff. Thank you very much.

Will the Damon Brace solve my front tooth arching problem

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010
Q.

I am 36 years old and my front top teeth are arched up at the right due to years of thumb sucking. Will Damon Braces work, as of course the bone structure is also pushed up, or is there a better option?
