I’m interested in the inman aligner. could you give an indication as to cost

Hi, I have a top front tooth that sits behind the other one which is becoming increasingly uncomfortable and unattractive. I have been reading a lot about the Inman Aligner and also Invisilign and saw that you offered free consultations. I look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards,

hi, i have just turned 15 and am in desperate need for “invisible” bracesso that my teeth can be “perfect” i recently went for the invisalign treatment and was told that it wasnt suitable for me, i am now taking the “inman aligner into consideration. my two canines are slightly higher than allmy other teeth and my front teeth are slightly crowded. if you could please tell me the minimum price aswell thank you very much

Hi Im looking into getting my teeth straighter and whiter as they are crooked, i was given a brace when i was in school, my dentist told me that my bottom jaw hadnt grown forward to line up with top teeth, and the brace wouldtrain my jaw to set in the right place, but it was quite embaressing to wear and could hardly speak with it in so i didnt wear it, and just left my teeth as they were, the dentist said i would have to have my jaw broken andset if i didnt wear it. Im older now and regretting not following my dentists advice, im really concious of the way my teeth are more than my jaw as thats not as noticable and i have coped till now with my teeth not meeting,so im just wanting to make my teeth look more straighter and whiter i feelthat this will really help with my confidence, i just want to see how muchthis will cost and if theres any sort of payment scheme ? if you could getback to me that would be great thankyou for your time

hi there, im very keen on have my teeth straightened even considering veneers….but before all that would it be possible to have a guide price on howmuch it will cost? im only 22 and in full time work but cant afford something too expensive………if you could get back to that would be great thankyou

Hello, I have been thinking about having my teeth straightened for a whileand was wondering on the best course of action to take. I am 19, a student(so don’t have loads of money!) and I don’t think I would need too much work done. I look forward to hearing from you. Many thanks,

hello i do alot of contact sports which sometimes can take up a few hours during the day. Do you think it possible to wear the aligner while i play sports or should i take it out. I do want to get the most of my brace and wear it as many hours during the day as i can, so if there was some kind of mouth guard device to put over it i would definitely wear it. Have you heard of any such device or would you recommend that i take my brace out? Any help you could give would be brilliant thank you for your time

Hello there IMO its probably best to take it out Its not inconceivable to get a mouth guard made to fit over the top but it could be quite a mouthful!! However as long as you can manage 16 hours a day it should still be fine

Hello there, I had the thought of having braces going through my mind for over a year now, but i have finally decided that I do want braces becuase i feel very uncomfortable with my smile. But problem is i am 16 already, My birthday is on 19 August and i will then turn 17, is there any chance that I can still get free braces? I live in the UK. The problem with my theeth are that few are overlapping and they are pushed forward quiet a lot. Which is very noticaple. So is there any chance that the NHS can still provide me with braces and how long do you wear them for ? Or does it depend on the teeth ? I would be greafull for an answer. Thank you.

Do call up a few dentist in your area and ask them if NHS braces are available. You will need to wear braces from 4-24 months. Regards

I have been told that i have small roots on 4 of my top molars and having a brace will shorten them further which could result in loosing the teeth. Please can you tell me the chances of this happening? I really want my teeth straightening but not sure if its worth the risk. Also, if i do decide to have braces and worst case i loose a tooth, how much will it cost for a replacement? Your reply would be very much appreciated.

Hi, I have really high canines which cause mild pain sometimes and I have some acid erosion on my bottom teeth, which looks like a yellow outline and looks awful to be honest – so I wondered as I’m only 16, will I be able to get veneers free on the NHS to hide the affected teeth and would braces be needed in order to bring down my canine teeth or is there an alternative treatment? If I did need braces, how long would I have to have them for?

Braces are an excellent solution for bringing the high canines down. You may need to waer braces from 6 months to 2 years depending on how much the teeth need to move. You may be able to get the treatment on the NHS so do enquire about this from your local dentists. Regards

One of my Upper Lateral Incisors are wonky an i feel self conscious of this, what would you recommend for this to straighten this tooth? are train track braces the only option, or is there a cheaper option to resolve this problem, i also have a a orange/brown stain on my front tooth and would like to know what possible treatments are available for this issue, i feel unconfident because of these dental problems

A fixed brace is a very good option and the costs will be less than an Invisalign type brace which is removable. You need an assessment with a dentist to figure the cause of the stain. Regards,

I recently got my braces off and when i did i noticed that one tooth was longer than the other so i told my orthadontist and he shaved it.now the other tooth is a little longer and they look kind of wierd and square.is there any way i can fix this?like mabey get them a little longer or more rounded.i feel that my teeth would or could look alot better if this problem was fixed.if it is fixible.

You cannot make the teeth longer I’m afraid but it may be possible to get some laser gum recontouring on the ‘square’teeth which will give the appearance of longer teeth. Regards

About a year ago i had a baby tooth extracted , and i was told the adult tooth will grow in that its just below the gums . A year later and the tooth hasnt grown in , my teeth have shifted . my teeth are also crooked , i have a slight underbite , and in certain sections when i bite down theres a empty space . i did some research and found out i going too need braces too fix these problems . but last time i went to the dentist ( after the extraction ) he said i dont need braces . . . im beginning to think he doesnt know what hes doing . what do you think i should do too fix these problems ?

Please book an appointment with an orthodontist who will let you know the best way of correcting your crooked teeth.

I would like some advice please. I have overcrowded and crooked teeth (upper jaw) and would really like a brace. I’m 26 so know I don’t qualify for free braces, but I’ve just had a baby and I’m on income support so would be greatful if you could give me some ideas on what to expect price wise. I have been researching online but I’m getting very varied prices ranging from £200 to £2000. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello and thank you for getting in touch. The prices can vary according to the severity of the overcrowding and the type of braces used. Braces vary in cst from £1500 to £10,000. You will need to see an orthodontist for a consultation who can give you a proper treatment plan for your condition

I went to my dentist to request braces since my teet are not aligned. He told me that it is not mandatory to have braces but for cosmetic reason if I want he could fix me braces. But he told me my mouth is small so he will have to remove 4 teet in order to straighten my teet with the braces. I just wanted to know if it is commun to remove 4 teet just like that. I have no problem with my teets, indeed they are very strong and healthy.

If you see an orthodontist, they are specialists in the field of moving teeth and they will recommend how many teeth if any need to be removed.

Hi I’ve had the IA for 8 weeks. I’m managing on average 16 hours a day. The only noticeable movement was after my first check up (4 weeks) when my teeth were filed. There was some movement in the days after the filing but nothing since. Should I be asking to see my dentist more often than every 4 weeks? At the moment I feel like the IA is only acting as a retainer, and I’m very disappointed with the results so far. Thanks

hello Yes we normally see our patients every 2-3 weeks. Otherwise after filing the teeth can move then get stuck again. However it is worth asking to see a photo of the movement- you might be surprised as often the initial stages seem slow come back if you need more help

My doughter is 7 1/2. Her front baby tooth was damaged when she was 2. Removed by dentist when she was 6, due to an abscess. Her new adult tooth is now sticking out, visible even with her mouth closed. She bit her lip on a few occasions and i find her putting fingers in her mouth very often. We are very concerd and scared she might damage her adult tooth too. She is on the waiting list to see orthodontist. Waiting list in our area is 6 months. Is there any treatment for this problem at early age???? Kind regards.

I would recommend having a removable brace appliance made as soon as possible. I use these all the time and they work brilliantly. Treatment can take as little as 3 months. Please feel free to contact my practice.

hi I have started my invisalign treatment and am about 3 weeks in. However, due to an incident in my family i will have to be away for the next 4 weeks, would I be able to pick up two weeks worth of aligners from my orthodontist? Im hoping that will be ok as i really do not want to miss out on my treatment thank you

Call your orthodontist I am sure they can do this if not wear your current aligners for a little longer.

hello do you think it is possible to have inman aligner treatment at the age of 50? I am in good dental health and have never had a tooth removed. I’ve had a few fillings here and there but i am generally in excellent dental health. My problem is my two front teeth really stick out and protrude, giving me a goofy smile. I do not know why I haven’t had this seen to before, but I finally i have bucked up the courage to have the treatment done. Do you think I will be a suitable candidate? Have you ever successfully treated a patient my age before? thanks

Hello Without seeing you its always difficult to promise Best thing is to go and see a certified inman aligner dentist. Goofy teeth can be treated but it depends on the severity of the case. Age is not an issue Hope this helps

I have an overgrown tooth at the top right of my mouth it overlaps another tooth which is behind it this has now been there for about six years this really dampens my confidence. How long would it take to rectify this problem and how much would it cost? Can it be sorted without braces? Where is the best place to have such treatment and most affordable as I am a student and dont have a lot of money. Thank you Regards

You may possibly be suitable for 6 month smiles treatment as a brace usually 1800 approx or extraction and looking at filling the space . Cost might be slightly cheaper

Hi, I had a fixed brace when I was 23 due to an overlap of 10mm since then my teeth have moved back into their original position without the overbite, as in my front 2 teeth are prominent with the others all further behind. Can you advise which would be the best course of action for me. My teeth are in good condition however I would prefer a shorter rather than longer treatment. Thank you for your help.

Dear Enquirer, The length/type of treatment depends on how much teeth movement is required and the type of braces that would best suit your situation. You will need an orthodontist examination to assess you and give you the best treatment options. Regards,

I have a class iii underbite, but its not fully noticable. The upper teeth are overcrowded and one tooth is a little forward. The bottom set are all fine and straight but wide. I’ve been suggested to get a an expanding retainer to expand the top and then invisilign and finally retainers to retain the final position. My question is, do i really need invisilign- i want my bite to be corrected but I was wondering if i could just get the treatment without it for now, and maybe get invisilign later? Thanks

Hello This kind of treatment can be done with other treatments other than invisalign too. Have you seen more than one dentist for an opinion?

I recently started my 2nd set of aligners and the bottom retainer does not fit on my right molars. It pops up and there is air, and aligner chewies do not help at all. What should I do?

Hi, My advice would simply be to contact your Invisalign Doctor as soon as possible. Best wishes

I want braces for my upper gum teeth and also need two implants in my lower gum .I have also some gum disease and want to have a check up of mu gums.my teeth are not straight and i have gaps in my upper jaw four teeth.I want to discuss with you what will be the best treatment for me .I might also need some kind of retainers after my treatment .Also to have looked at my gums and lower jaw teeth and if need braces as well.

That’s nice. Thanks for sharing. We offer free consults

What is the most complex condition you can treat with the inman aligner? I have crooked teeth on both top and bottom, which i find really, realy hard to clean and i am worried they will lead to other health problems in the future. Do you think that the inman aligner would be a good option for me or should i look for some other treatment? Would you be able to recommend something for me if this was the case? I really, really want to have lovely straight teeth for once and so any help you can give would be just brilliant thank you very much

The Inman Aligner is for only minor to moderate crowding of the front teeth, your situation would require traditional orthodontic treatment.

can you have invisalign if you have a dental implant at the front of your mouth? I damaged my tooth about two years back and have had the implant for about a year and a half. The problem with my teeth is to do with an overbite do you think it would be safe to treat this with invisalign even with the implant? thanks

It is fine but the invisalign will be programmed not to move the implanted tooth.

if you have had gum disease in the past, but everything is alright now, can you have the inman aligner? because of gums being loose, some teeth moved and i would like to move them back again. My gums are fine now, nice and firm 🙂 but i just wanted to make sure what i can expect from braces, or whether i will be allowed to have them at all. I take very good care of my teeth and gums now, so i don’t believe the gum disease will return and I would make an extra effort if i did have braces. I just really want my smile back to the way it was thank you

Gum disease often leads to bone loss, you will need to be fully evaluated including good Xrays. Please choose a provider and go for an evaluation. Regards

back when i was a young(er) nipper i had braces. These did a fine job, but what with growing up and growing wisdom teeth my smile has move again and i would really like to move it back again. My main problem is crowding at the front of my mouth and i wanted to know if invisalign would be a good choice for moving s problem like that. I don’t want the old fixed braces i had when i was a nipper, so i am looking for invisible treatment instead thank you

you would be an ideal candidate for Invisalign. 80% of our patients were in the same situation as you. PLease ask for full arch Invisalign and expect to pay 3000-3500

hello,i would like to know if invisalign is ok for someone who is 14 years old. I do not like my teeth as they stick out and have a gap between the front two teeth and so i would like to have them straightened, but do not know if i am old enough yet. What do you think

Hi! I think that as long as you have lost most of your baby teeth, getting Invisalign would not be a problem. My youngest patient is 12! If one of your parents can bring you to have a look at you, then I can tell you for sure! Best Wishes,

Hello there is it possible to have a bottom jaw that sticks out too far forward corrected and what would that entail? I am really after treatment that could correct this quickly and effectivley and cost for once isn’t a problem, as I have just come into some money! 🙂 thank you for any help you can give

It is possible to have this corrected. It usually involves braces and may also involve corrective jaw surgery. You will need to consult with an Orthodontist and a Restorative dentist to discuss your options. The amount of time it will take depends on what is needed to correct your situation

my bottom teeth overlap the top is there anything that could inprove the looks in my earley years a dentist ground them down so they would meet as the years go on they have started to overlap again can the bottom teeth be crowned with smaller teeth to make them meet i know there is a opperation on the jaw to correct it i am hopping there is a better way my dentist says that nothing can be done

I’d advise that you seek out a consultaiton with an orthodontist or cosmetic dentist so that you can discuss all your options in detail. There are lots of options potentialy open to you but it all starts with a consultation Kind regards

is it a good idea to treat a crossbite with invisalign, or will that require a stronger brace, like a normal train track brace? thank you

Invisalign will treat minor crossbites of 2mm or so. Anything more substantial will require a stronger brace such as the fixed braces as you describe or sometimes we use removable braces initially called arch expanders depending on your age

i got my braces off and don’t like the way they are i don’t know what to do . I’m 16 years old, my insurance didn’t cover them so my parents are paying for them. i seal needed like 4 to 6 months its been like 1 month ago that the braces came off help me please.

I recommend you discuss your concerns with the doctor who treated you to see what solution is available

Good afternoon I have seen numouras dentists over the years, regarding my cross bite and bad teeth decay to my four upper front tops, as always at a very exspensive price, I am recommended treatment of ither a brace or veneers. After lots of trying to raise the money at these hard time, I can not, I read recently that some dentist training colleges might do the work for me at a reduced cost do you know of any way, I could get my self onto a list for this. many thanks for your help. or could you offer me other advice about what i can do?

HI iam considering getting a brace one that works quickly and ive been offered both six month smile and clearstep the correction is slight as i had a brace for years when i was younger but didnt wear the retainer. canine teeth stick out slightly and front cross very slightly both braces are the same price due to an offer at the practice in your professional opinion which is better clearstep or six month smiles?thanks for your help

Hi they are both as good as each other and it depends on the expertise of the dentist. One is removable one is fixed, so if you want the removable option you need to ensure you will wear them as instructed and as often as possible.

Hello, I have quite a large overbite which gives me a really goofy smile would you recommend invisalign or aliman aligners for treating an overbite? thanks

Hi there, Invisalign can treat a range of tooth position issues including overbite. Inman aligners however can only deal with more simple issues. I would recommend you arrange an Invisalign consultation where your issues can be fully investigated and discussed. Kind regards

I just wanted some advice on whether or not I could get rid of my wisdom tooth. Because my bottom jaw is more forward than the top one, my orthodontics suggested I would require 2 surgeries and approximately wear braces for 4 years for it to get all sorter. But I want to know whether there is another way to fix it and how much will it cost? Thanks for all your time and for your expertise in this matter, i really appreciate it

Unfortunately, I cannot tell without a full examination. Sorry I can’t help anymore.

Hi, I’m 17 years old and want to get my teeth straightened. Is it too early to do it?

No, do it!!!

Hi. I have overbite and my bottom canines are overcrowded. I know that I need braces but I don’t want the wires since I’m 37 and I’m a teacher. Which treatment would be appropriate? Will I have some of my teeth taken? Thanks for your help.

The healthiest choice is orthodontics! However, cosmetic dentistry may be an option for you. Most of my patients who seek smile enhancement are adults and opt for cosmetic dentistry versus braces because of the time it takes. Cosmetic dentistry will be more costly.

Does the inman aligner come in different forms? I have heard a few different names and just wondered which would be the best inman aligner is I am looking to straighten my teeth without anyone knowing about it? Or at least something that isn’t too noticeable as I am already quite self conscious of my teeth to begin with. I was also hoping you could maybe give me a time frame of what I should expect from the inman aligner for straightening my front teeth? Does it really only take a few weeks (don’t quote me on that, it’s just what i’ve heard 🙂 thank you for your time

You should look into Invsalign or Clear Correct, the Inman Aligner is noticeable and we do not want to mislead you.

My smiling teeth are coming out they look very ugly when I laugh.the front two teeth are much bigger and more going out than side teeth I want to change the angle of my smiling teeth,how is this possible and how much time it will take to recover Is there any direct way to change tooth or surgery is compulsory and what cost I have to pay ? please reply in a deep way so that I clear my doubts on tooth surgery.

It sounds like you need a brace to straighten the teeth, I don’t think surgery is necessary

I was smacked in the face by a horse and my front teeth are wonky now although its not very noticeable but I hate it and feels horrible in my mouth is there anyway to straighten them ?

Hi, I am 17 years old and would really like to get some work done on my teeth. My teeth are fine but they could look better and at the moment I am overly self conscious about my smile. I consulted my dentist and she said I have a perfect bite and that my procedure would fall under cosmetic treatment which the nhs does not cover. After browsing the website I think the Six Month Smile is the best brace for me. Although it is the cheapest brace I still would not be able to afford it. Therefore I was wondering, would I be able to pay for the braces in monthly installments?

Hi Many of our patients pay in installments from 1 year to 5 years. So it can cost cost as little as £50 per month.

Hello, I really would like braces on my top teeth, Only i don’t know how to go about it. Could you please advise me on what to do next & the cost. I am 18 years old. just turned 18 this year so will i be able to get it on the NHS. or do i have to pay, if so how much would it be? I would also like to book a consultation, so i can discuss this further. Do your teeth have to be assessed before you decide if I am eligible for braces? I also would like to know about payment methods, as i am a student i will have to pay monthly.

Hi I do not think it will be possible on the NHS. At the consultation the dentist would examine your teeth and discuss option with you. Many practice have payment plans to allow to spread the cost from 1 to 5 yrs.

Hi there
