Do you think I’d be a suitable candidate for Invisalign?

Monday, August 20th, 2012
Q.

Dear Doctor,
I have an overbite (of~8mm) and my upper front teeth are not vertical, but protruding a little bit (bucked teeth). The 8 mm overbite is mainly due to the inclination of the front teeth I think. If it is vertical I believe it would be only around 4 mm.
Do you think it would be possible for me to be a candidate for ClearPath or Invisalign braces? Currently I am not living in US. So I dont know who/how to consult now. But I have some X-Ray images and some photos. Can I send these to some e-mail address, so that I can get an early feedback from you..?
I am not looking for a perfect bite. I will be more than happy, if my teeth are straight and no gaps, I feel braces are my best option. What do you think? Thank you for your time.

Can you please provide me with as much information as you can about Lumineer treatment?

Monday, August 20th, 2012
Q.

Hello i have been looking to find a dentist that is able to fit one veneer to my front tooth. It has given me many years of insecurities and I am eager to do something about it now. The only problem i have is due awful experiences as a child i can no longer have injections in the mouth. I have opted for sedation via another dentist than my own but i have just discovered lumineers and your clinic has come up that it offers such a service. Could i have as much information as you can possibly give about this e.t.c pain? what is involved and how much this would cost? thank you

What type of brace do you think I’ll require?

Thursday, August 16th, 2012
Q.

hello just a few things that are bugging me about my teeth, i’d like your opinion. What type of brace will i need if my right tooth slightly crosses over my left? the orthodonist asked me what colour i wanted…what does he mean by this?!! i surely dont have to have removeable ones, also my bite is fine, my bottom teeth arent too straight either and i have had the moulds for both sets of teeth before, but the cosmetic surgeon only moulded my top teeth today and i have to go back in 3 weeks, what type of braces will i have do you think? and for how long? i didn’t get chance to ask what was going to happen.

What are the options for treating advanced gum disease?

Thursday, August 16th, 2012
Q.

I have advanced stage gum disease and have lost teeth due to it. I am currently seeing a dentist who has removed the 4 front lower teeth and did deep scale cleanig with bone scraping and now am wearing an interim partial. My question is, are there any other options to advanced gum disease other than tooth extraction? When is laser gum surgery still an option? And is most dentist skilled in this procedure?
I am very self conscious about my appearance and just the removal of these front teeth has weighed heavy on my when I look in the mirror without my partial in.
Thank you in advance.

The gum above my crowned tooth is turning blue in colour, why is this happening? Can it be fixed?

Thursday, August 16th, 2012
Q.

Hello. Could you help me with something? I had a crown done on my front tooth. There was no metal involved. However, after 10 years or so, I started seeing my shaved, small tooth underneath and decided it was time to change it as I was unhappy with its appearance. I had it redone in the U.S. and they convinced me to do a crown to the one next to it to have an even and symmetric smile. the gum right above the first tooth is now turning grayish or dark blue. Why do you think this is happening and can it be fixed? Thank you

My dentist suggested that I have a plate form implant, are there any alternative options for me?

Thursday, August 16th, 2012
Q.

Hello, I have recently knocked my front tooth, which is a crown and managed to damage the root! My dentist has recommend I have the tooth removed and replaced with a plate with one tooth .Is it necessary to have to have a plate? I am horrified by this suggestion and wondered if I could have a bridge instead? I have discussed an implant, but many of my friends have had all their front teeth bridged and feel it is the better option. I really don’t fancy the surgery that goes with the plate. My teeth either side of this crown are okay,I would appreciate your recommendation before I have this tooth removed. Thank you.

I stopped wearing my retainer and now my teeth have shifted to their original position, what can I do about this?

Thursday, August 16th, 2012
Q.

Hi dr Hughes I wondered if you could help me with something? I had braces for about three years. When I got them off I was given a retainer to wear. i was told to wear it full time for a about six weeks and then only at night. However, I quit wearing it all together about six months ago and my teeth have shifted quite a bit. If I wear my retainer for a while will my teeth shift back into the way they should be? If my retainer won’t make any difference then what else can I do that isn’t too costly?

I have a large gap in between my two front teeth, what can I do to fix this?

Thursday, August 16th, 2012
Q.

Hi,I have a gap in my front teeth which has become very large over the last few years and I think it’s still getting bigger even now,my dentist says there’s nothing he can do with it,I find this quite upsetting because I don’t want to smile without covering my mouth,one dentist said he could put crowns on but they would look stupid because they would be too big and thick for my mouth,it’s really getting me down now. It’s really affecting my self conscious and I would like something fast acting so I can get back to normal again. Have you any suggestions please? Thank you for your time.
