Hi My two front teeth are fine but the one’s next to them stick outwards as there is not enough room in my mouth, all of my other teeth are fine, can you help and point me in the right direction, also it seems to be so expensive for braces now, is there a cheaper way i can get them done. Many Thanks

Hi, I would suggest you have a consultation with a Cosmetic Invisalign Dentist.

when i shut my mouth, my top teeth are a few mm in front of my bottom teeth, therefore when i laugh they stick out. what can i do?

It sounds like you could need orthodontics to bring your front teeth back in and stop them sticking out.

Hi! I am interested in Orthodontics as my teeth are not quite well positioned. Is it late to have it as I’m 23 now? How long would it take and how’sthe process going? And I’m entitled to HC2 certificate, could I get thisfor free? Thanks for helping! Kind regard

Good morning, I would like to make an enquiry on behalf of my husband. He is registered to the NHS dentist surgery and due to problemswith a narrow top jaw has been offered via the NHS a series of 24 appointments to straighten his teeth and re E28093 set his jaw however this is along process and will involve a long time in braises and retainers ongoing.He has decided after 3 years on the waiting list he would like to considerprivate treatment and to look at getting a top set of porcelain vaneers orother alternatives to the lengthy treatment offered via the NHS. Please could you email me back and let me know if you think you can help and if youmay be able to provide a consultation appointment for him so you can have alook at his teeth and discuss his options. He is very keen to get startedsoon and I would also like to come along with him. I look forward to hearing back from you.

After years of nail biting my 2 front teeth have worn down and I am very self conscious of this. Could you tell me what treatments would be availableto lengthen my two front teeth, and roughly the cost involved?

Hi, i am currently undergoing orthodontic treatment and am losing confidence in my orthodontist with how my treatment is going. I would like to get a2nd opinion on my orthodontic treatment and take the opportunity of your free consultation to go through the areas which i think are not being coveredand to move onto another orthodontist which may be yourself to finish offand end my treatment fully. If you are able to offer me advice and take a look at my orthodontics by way of me attending your practice, i would kindlylike to do so

I am interested in your range of orthodontictreatments. I would like both top and bottom straightening treatment and had recently signed up for simply 5 treatment after being told that I was suitable for both top and bottom sets. Unfortunately my dentist has now toldme that that was an incorrect analysis and that only my top set are acceptable. Rather than wasting time and money visiting 2 separate establishmentsI noticed that you have a wide variety of alternative orthodontics available and would like to book in as quickly as possible for a consultation. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks

Hello doctor, I have saved up my pennies and am looking into getting some brace work for my teeth. I am a 32 year old women in good oral health which is let down by my less than aesthetically pleasing teeth. A general over view of my teeth show a overbite, plus crowding, plus twisted teeth. It’s all a little bit of a mess to be honest and I would really like some expert advice to help me choose the right treatment for me. Being a 32 year old women in need of braces I would obviously like a set of invisble or at least discreet braces, so I don’t have the appearance of a 13 year old girl doing a powerpoint presentation and my toss up was between invisalign and lingual braces. what would be your suggestion doctor, i would class my orthodontic problems as heading towards severe. thank you for your time.

If your malocclusion is more severe as you suggest than some form of Traditional Orthodontic treatment would be recommended. Consult with 2 different orthodontists to find your bets option.

Hello Doctor, I am looking to getting my daughter Invisalign as her two front teeth are crossed over and she has a few gaps at the side. I have also heard of invisalign teen and wonder if this would be the better treatment option for her? How does it differ from usual Invisalign? She is 13 years of age, has all of here adult teeth and is in good oral health. Any information you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much

Invisalign teen will be much better for her I have used it a lot and am geeting great results, you are then welcome to bring her in so we can discuss all the options.

My teeth are straight apart from my two canine teeth which slant inwards. What kind of treatment would you suggest to straighten them out? I don’t really want to have to pay for expensive braces and have them for a long time to just fix two teeth.

it is very difficult to say what is the best treatment for you as it depends on the severity of the problem. The options to straighten teeth are Invisalign, Six Month Braces, Lingual Braces or Damon braces, but I would recommend a consultation to find out which is the best option for you.

I had braces a few years ago, but 2 of my upper my teeth are moving back, i want to make those straight again – how much would invisalign cost for a minor prolem like this? Also, my teeth go upwards. is there anyway the my upper teeth (on the sides of the front teeth) could be brought lower down? so that my front teeth dont look so promininent? If yes, what are the estimated cost for each of these procedures? or could this all e achieved in on treatment? thanks 🙂

My teeth are okay, however on one side of my mouth, I have a tooth that overlaps another. It sticks out and although you can’t see it very well, its noticeable when I smile/laugh. It isn’t uncomfortable but I would love to get it either removed (as there is a tooth directly behind it so there would be no gap). There is also the same tooth on the other side that is slightly overlapping a tooth but it no where near as bad as the other side. If you know any other solutions that could be taken please let me know!

Hi , The simplest solution would be some orthodontics , and there are now systems out there that are removable and can get result in 12-16 weeks

hello my invisalign treatment started about 3 weeks ago and i am a week into my 2 aligner. I then had a bit of a fall and the aligner has become cracked and im now worried about my teeth, which have felt a little bit tender since the fall. what do you think would be the best course of action? thank you for your time

I would recommend you go and see your dentist so that your teeth can be assessed and make sure that there is no damage to your teeth. I would also recommend you show your dentist your fractured aligner and see if it possible to move onto the next one. Best Wishes

hello what can’t you treat with invisalign? I have one of those overbites, where my teeth just seem to be sticking out massively from top jaw and it just makes me look really, really goofy! I would like to do something about it and soon, but obviously if i could get invisible treatment like invisalign that would be much much better. Do you think i will be suitable for the treatment? thank you

Invisalign can correct teeth position not jaw position, it sounds like you may have jaw position problem in which case tooth extractions or jaw surgery may be required to get the best result.

I am a 26 years old woman from Kolkata, and have been suggested braces to correct my bite by a well known orthodontist ( I have lower jaw crowding he says). He says that 4 teeth extractions will be required. I have sough the advice of another dentist, she had the same opinion as him. Could you honestly advice me_ will these extractions cause a SUNKEN in face, or TMJ or Sleep Apnea, or any other “unforeseen consequences”. I want to have well aligned teeth, but do not want any extractions. Especially due to such fears of a sunken in face. Please advice. At my wits end. Thank You!!!

An orthodontist is the best person to advise you on whether teeth need to be extracted prior to braces being fitted. Do go back to your orthodontist and ask the orthodontist why he/she has suggested you need extractions.

.My dentist refuses to give me braces unlike my old doctor… They gave me the ones you take in and out but never gave me the train tracks that i was supposed to have… I have no idea how to explain my teeth. their not very white, due to smoking which i intend to pack up, but my two front teeth are way too forward, and the vampire teeth i dont know what they ae called are sticking out too!!! they look terrible ad i would really like to have something strainghten them out because they are bad!!!

i’ve cracked a tooth, but i am in teh middle of my invisalign treatment. The tooth is at the back of my mouth and i am going to get it checked out this week, but i just wanted to know if you think i could still continue with my invisalign treatment? thank you

Hi, It is important that you continue to wear your aligners(if possible) to prevent any uncontrolled tooth movements. Throughout Invisalign treatment it is crucial that aligners are worn for 20-22 hours per day in order to achieve the results. Arrange to see your dentist as soon as possible. Best wishes

i am 13 years old. People are always calling me goofy at schol because of my two front teeth and i would like to have a brace to make them stop. I haven’t told my parents yet as i want to know first whether i can have them or not, and whether i am old enough to have the inman aligner bracce. how long do you think i would have to wear it before my teeth didint look goofy anymore? and will they stay like that forever or will they come back again? i don’t want that to happen so what do i do to stop it? thanks

You will need to be older to be treated with Inman Aligners

Im wanting to get my teeth straightened and whitened, i’ve heard they are deals were you can get one and get the other for free (so pay for the invisalign and get whitening for free) are you able to recommend any practices that do this in London? preferably North London, but I am willing to travel. thank you

Does lingual braces work with goofy teeth that stick right out the front of your mouth? This is my key problem and I want this to be sorted once and for all. I’ve lived with it for 30 years and had enough. I’m looking at braces options as that seems the best course of action. Would lingual braces be okay? I’d rather them than the normal ones if its all the same. If you could tell me about any others if they are better then that would be good.

Hi it would depend on what time of lingual brace is offered to you and it would depend on the severity if the problem. I really like using the Damon braces for “goofy” teeth as they work really well.

I have a very large overbite and have been researching in to the several cosmetic orthodontic treatments available. I am looking for something both discreet and affective and am torn between Invisalign and Inman aligners, which in your opinion are best for the treatment of an overbite and which has the quickest results? thank you for your time

it depends on the overbite/overjet. if it is too severe you may want to consider lingual braces or damon clear braces

I went to see an orthodontist a few months ago about Invisalign braces and he told me I have a large tongue which causes me to tongue-thrust and pushes my top teeth out. He recommended I get my bottom four teeth bonded to create the illusion that I have straighter teeth (I had braces when I was 16 but my bottom teeth have moved again due to wisdom teeth) but I think I would benefit from braces. I’d really appreciate your opinion. Kind Regards,

Hi I would recommend a consultation to examine your mouth to see what the best options are. unfortunately it is impossible to suggest what is appropriate in your case. I am sure there is an acceptable treatment.

do you know if it possible to damage your teeth with invisalign? My friend had fixed braces and they made one of his teeth crumbled to bits after he had it taken off and although invisalign isn’t fitted to the teeth i just thought i’d double check. thank you doctor

Hi there! You have nothing to worry about as you very well said that Invisalign is not a fixed brace. It also has the advantage that because it is removable, your oral hygiene will not take a hit. Hope that helps

hi im 16 years old…………and when i was 14 my dentist said i need braces and he would refer me to a orthodontist but he didn’t im still waiting , and i really need them how do i go about doing that? and im also getting a burning sensation in my mouth? is this normal? im a bit scared. i would really appreciate if you could get back to me. thank-you.

Hi I would contact your dentist to chase up the orthodontic referral. I would also advise a consultation (exam) with them ASAP to see what the burning sensation in the mouth is – they will be able to advise you and cure this. Good luck Adam

hi there do you know of patients with dental bridges having invsialign to straighten their teeth? I do not like a large gap between my front two teeth, but I have a bridge two teeth after my left front tooth. Is it possible to have a bridge and have invisalign treatment? thanks

a bridge is 2 or more teeth joined together. Invisalign would find it very hard to move these teeth. Normally we cannot move these teeth.

hello could you tell me doctors the best way to straighten a smile that is not aligned. By this i mean my top and bottom jaw sit incorrectly, which leaves my smile looking very wonky and is at times rather uncomfortable. What kind of brace or treatment could you recommend to correct this mistake? thank you for your time

The best way is with some form of braces. Consult with a dentist to determine the best type of orthodontic treatment for your situation

i would like to have braces agine as i couldnt cope when i was younger with the pain as i also needed a head brace. but at the mo my wisdom teath are coming thourgh on the top the densits said b4 they wont remove them as there is enough space is it wise ti weight until thought for braces. my bottom wisdom teath have been taken out

You can wait to have the wisdom teeth removed once the braces are complete.

Do you think the inman aligner would be a good option for someone who wants to have their teeth straightened along the top but who also has a bridge for one of their missing front teeth? I lost the teeth because of an accident several years ago and I just wanted to know what my options were for straightening out my teeth, which are quick crooked? is there a way of doing that or am i doomed to having awful teeth for the rest of my life? i would give my right arm for a good smile so i woud be very happy with any help and advice you could give to me thank you

Hello It depends how many teeth are involved with the bridge- if 2 teeth are – then it is unlikely- If it is a simple bonded bridge just to one, then yes it might be possible. Best thing is to see an Inman Aligner certified dentist and get an opinion

I currently have traditional braces. My orthodontist said it would take approximately 2 years. I am not very happy with the way she treats me I feel like she is lazy, and doesn’t do her job effectively. I have a an overbite, and ive noticed that some ppl who have braces when taken off there teeth look straight but not natural, they look extremely crowded and outwards.. If I am not happy with my results what can I do?

Discuss this with the orthodontist treating you before she takes off the braces.

my question is i wore braces fore 1year and after that my dentist haven’t suggest me any thing and after six month my front portion of teeth look still protuding please suggest me..it has been 4 years before that i was wearing braces can i again do something for my protuding teeth..my teeth became sensitive too..please suggest which doesnt harm my teeth

If you are still unhappy with the teeth being protruded consult with another dentist. You can have braces again to straighten your teeth but you will need a retainer so they do not shift back again.

I used to have aligned teeth before I got a bad periodontal diseases. One of the tooth stick up and lost bone a lot…I could not bite properly since then.. the teeth moved a lot after 10 years.. and now I am considering braces… can I have a DMD who is General practices to perform orthodontal work for me? I am nervous if he is able to perform it well like a specialist. or should I pull that trouble teeth out and then get an implant… will the teeth moved back to their original positions over time? Regards

When I was younger I wore braces for several years to straighten both my top and bottom teeth. Recently my top later incisors have become misaligned and now protrude in front of my two central teeth. As this make me feel self conscious when smiling I would like to hve them fixed but wonder what treatments options would be available and best. Having had to live with noticeable braces for several years as a teenager I would like to avaoid this if possible. Also how much is any treatment likely to cost.

Hello is it possible to have teeth whitening after I have had my invsialign treatment, or should I wait a little while after for the teeth to ‘settle’ so to speak? I think some whitening would make the whole treatment just perfect 🙂 thank you

Yes you can have whitening after your treatment has been completed. Yes, I agree with you, whitening at the end of the treatment would just add the finishing touch to achieve a great smile!

hello could you tell me if the inman aligner is suitable for someone who has had gum disease i the past and whose teeth have moved because of it? I am free of the disease now (thank the lord!) but my once straight teeth have suffered a little movement at the front mainly and i was just wondering about getting brace treatment to move it all about. Do you feel that the inman aligner would be a likely candidate, or am i barking up the wrong brace? thanks for your time and for any help you can give me, it would be great to have my smile back again

You really need to see a provider for a free evaluation, it is impossible to say from your post

Hi, i have gaps in between my teeth because my baby teeth have fallen out and there are no adult teeth behinde it. I have had my braces tightened (adjusted) 3 times and i have springs on each side to move 6 teeth in order to pull the teeth together. Whats in store for me when i go back next time to get my braces adjusted? Am i likely to have them for the full length of time? Thanks

probably more of the same, all to gather groups of teeth together for possible tooth replacements by the sounds of the information you have given me. Good luck and Keep going it will be worth it later on!

Hello, i’m 14 years old. I have alot of insecurity with my teeth. Ive informed my dentist on this but they have said they dont think my teeth are bad enough to get a fixed brace. I have a gap in the front two teeth and the front right tooth slightly overlaps the left tooth. Also my teeth arent very even atall. Do you think i would be able to get a fixed brace for this problem because its really bugging me and i dont want my teeth to be like this forever. PLEASE HELP

The best thing to do is to get an orthodontic consultation with your local Specialist Orthodontist. You can insist on it from your dentist, so they then referer you to them. The worse that can happen is that you do not need treatment! Good luck

I am 29 years old. I would like to get my teeth straightened. All my teeth are pretty staight with the exception of the upper left central and lateral incisors. I worn braces until the age of 20 and until 27 I have worn a binder in the night to keep them straight. However, once I stopped to use it my upper left central and lateral incisors started to crook again. What should I do? Thanks,

Hi There could be many options open to you. A simple orthodontic correction may be the most ideal and treatments such as the Inman aligner, Simpli5 or Invisalign Lite. The best thing for you to do right now would be to go for a consultation with someone experienced with these treatments to find out what would be best for you. We offer a complimentary consultation for these systems if London is convenient for you Best regards

i have a problem that I have been battling with for about 11 years now. when i was about ten years old, i forcefully removed a bow tie hook which was stuck in the middle of my upper jaw set of teeth and since then, my lower jaw is more projected compared to my lower jaw. the problem is that my upper set of teeth cannot neither cover/stay on the lower one. Can braces fix this? And can I have an estimate of how much would it cost me? Can I come for an appointment as well?

If it was trauma to invidual teeth Orthodontics might be too stressfull if the roots are already damaged. If your whole jaw is out of alignment it would need to be assessed before proceeding. An initial chat is free to see whether it is worth proceeding to full assesment and costed treatment plan.

hello what do you think about having invisalign aligners for the top and bottom teeth. Is it a good idea or even possible to have top and bottom algners, or do you have to wait for one jaw of teeth to be straigtened and hten have the other straightened? Im most concerned in straightenign my top teeth more than the bottom tha

Hi, for most people we treat both upper and lower teeth at the same time. This is for two reasons – 1. The teeth meet in the bite and changing the position of teeth in just one jaw will affect the bite 2. If you just treat one jaw before the other this drags the treatment time out and they are very comfortable to wear both at once. Regards

If I have had an extraction of a corner tooth can I still wear invisalign. I am seriously considering this type of braces and this is the only concern that I have. I am also 34 years old so a bit late in my life for this which is why I would prefer invisalign. I have healthy gums and no major problems with my teeth other than them being crooked. I have tried to get braces before but through the army but was told that my teeth don’t cause any medical problems so I do not require braces which was fair as this is just for cosmetic purpose and a confidence boost

I’m not sure what you mean by a corner tooth but the best thing for you to do is to come for a consultation so your questions can be answered correctly. If your mouth is healthy and your alignment is not too complex then Invisalign may be a good option for you

I would like to have braces again, I have had braces twice before and I would like to know if this might cause damage to my teeth (i.e. making it more brittle in the long-term)? I feel I would only need little cosmetic dentistry as my teeth are quite straight, I just feel I might need to remove a couple to move it to fit within my mouth. Thanks

Perhaps you need to think about another type of treatment to improve your teeth, if you’ve had braces twice already then another course might not be the solution.

My son is 33 years old and just now has a 3rd eye tooth breaking through his gums directly behind his top 2 front teeth. He said a dentist told him it was there a few years ago during a check-up when x-rays were taken. It has not given him any issues until now because it is breaking through the gums behind the front teeth. How unusual is this to happen as an adult? Any time I took him to the dentist as a child, I was not told anything about the 3rd top eye tooth behind his front teeth. His teeth were nice and straight with no problems as a child. This has become very irritating for him. I assume he would need to have it extracted and how difficult is it to do? Is this a very uncommon occurrence?

Its easy to remove in most cases so it shouldn’t cause problems, they are often hard to detect as a child unless they show up by chance on an x-ray
