Q.
Hi there, i was wondering about the inman aligner brace. does this work if you have front crowns already fitted on your teeth. i have protruding front teeth and wondered if these crowns get damaged in the process.

Q.
Dear Dr Solanki, Im female, aged 20 I have had always wanted straight teeth and now I feel I can’t get it now. I was supposed to have braces when I was 17 but the dentist didn’t do anything about it, and I chased them up about it but nothing came about so I was annoyed as well as upset. Now cause of my age I can’t get braces and the only alternative is cosmetic denstriy, but it is expensive and im a student and can’t afford it so please could you suggest something i would be most greatful. thank you P.M.

What are my options my teeth stick out ?

Thursday, January 31st, 2008
Q.
Hello Dr Riten, i wonder if you can help me with my problem. I have teeth that stick out a little bit and i am not sure what to do about them I have read there are a few different ways such as invisible braces inman aligner braces and veneers. I dont want one of these hollywood smiles because i think they just look too fake and so i want my smile to look natural but also good. Although finances are an issue the way I look at it is that every one i meet sees my teeth its more important than buying a new car and I believe you can now get your teeth done on finance just like when buying a new car? Thank you for time to read this. J.N.

I have a gap in my front top teeth due to sucking my thumb what can be done?

Thursday, January 31st, 2008
Q.
Since i was a little girl ive had a gap at the front of my teeth at the top. due 2 sucking my thumb the gap has got bigger over the years and my teeth are very crooked. during my teens i had a brace which i just kept taking out so that was no good. im 23 and i have no confidence when speaking to people. is there any solution ie; have a tooth put in there or take the 2 front ones out and have them replaced by 2 straight closed teeth? or is my only option to have a brace?
