Treatment for missing teeth that are causing me misery?

Thursday, January 14th, 2010
Q.
Hi there, I am 21 years old and had braces when I was around 19. I used to live in Spain and had them put on and checked rugularly when I lived there. After about 9 months of having them on I moved back to London and therefore didnt really complete the procedure as its was hard getting to Spain because of work etc. I had 2 teeth removed so there are two large gaps on my top gum. My bottom teeth never had a brace as theyre alright, I had it basically to push my teeth back into my mouth. So now my teeth are a little more pushed in but Ive got these two big gaps. I am really uphappy and it’s really affecting my life more than anybody could imagine. I dont want to smile or laugh I hate having my picture taken and am scared people will see I’ve got missing teeth. I work full time but doubt I’ll be able to afford the procedure to fix my teeth. What do you advise? Many thanks,,

Is inman aligner best option for me?

Thursday, January 7th, 2010
Q.
Hello Dr Glaister, My teeth are straight, except for one top lateral incisor which is rotated. I never considered braces, since i only need one tooth corrected. I don’t want a veneer because i don’t want to shave down an otherwise healthy tooth. I recently heard of the Inman aligner and thought I may be a candidate for that, but I notice Simpli5 is a similar price, I’m not sure which is better for me? Also, simpli5 seems to be a similar system to Invisalign but is far cheaper, is there a catch i should know about?,
A.
Simpli5 corrects only slightly… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Is inman aligner good option for moving teeth?

Thursday, January 7th, 2010
Q.
I have read that that the Inman Aligner Is only good at squeezing teeth together. Does this mean that my left front tooth that comes out more then the other tooth, will not be pushed back in line with the straight tooth, but instead the two teeth will will be pushed together therefore increasing my overjet. Thanks.,

Thursday, January 7th, 2010
Q.
My dentist has given me clear aligners (clear align system) He has given me three of these. How do these compare to inman aligners? My teeth are moderatly crooked.
