My Crowns Are Too Big. Could I Have Them Removed And Use Braces To Close My Gap?

Thursday, May 22nd, 2014
Q.

Hello Andrew. I had crowns fitted to my two front teeth over fifteen years ago to close a gap. Since having this done I have deeply regretted this as my front teeth look too large in comparison to the rest of my teeth. This has affected my self-confidence greatly. I have recently seen the six month smile brace and I was wondering if I had the crowns removed then replaced to leave a gap would the brace work to close the gap? Thank you in advance for your reply.

Hey Andrew. Can I Use Veneers To Fix A Pretty Severe Cross-Bite? Or Would It Best To Move Forward With Braces And Surgery?

Monday, May 19th, 2014
Q.

Hey Andrew. I’m a 26 year old male and I have a pretty severe cross-bite. I really don’t want to get braces, orthodontic treatment or surgery to correct it. Is it possible to have veneers correct this problem? Or would it be best to move forward with braces and surgery?

I spoke with an orthodontist and he told me I would have to wear braces for 1 year, have corrective surgery and keep the braces for another year. I just want to know if that is my only option. Thanks so much for your help!

I’d Like To Straighten My Incisors. I Am Investigating Invisalign But I’d Like A Cheaper, Faster Alternative?

Monday, April 7th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Patel, I’d like your advice. Both my upper lateral incisors are set back about 0.5cm behind my front teeth. One sits on my lower incisor, the other just behind.
I had a removable brace as a teen, 10 years ago and after 2 years of diligently wearing it, I got told he may have made a mistake!
I would like to know what options I now have for correcting this? I am investigating Invisalign, but I’d like to know if there is a cheaper, faster alternative?
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I look forward to your reply.

I Want To Know Which Treatments Will Close My Bucked Teeth Before My Wedding?

Thursday, February 13th, 2014
Q.

Hi Andrew,

I’m 26 years old and I have an overbite and my two front teeth are bucked with a gap in the middle. My bottom teeth are perfect!

I’m really self conscious about my teeth to the point of when I’m talking I put my hand over my mouth.

I’m getting to the point now where I really want to be pro-active and do something about it!

I’m due to get married next year and would love for my two front teeth to be perfect for the photos, Can you please recommend any treatments you think I may be suitable for?

Thank you so much for your help.

I Want To Know If My Specific Problem Can Be Solved With Six Month Smiles Treatment?

Wednesday, October 9th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Hughes, My dentist recently told me I have a “relatively mild malocclusion involving a class 2 division, 1 incisor relationship with a 6mm overjet and a 2mm midline diastema in the upper arch”.   I was wondering if I would be able to get jaw surgery for the overjet or would braces alone fix that problem. Also would 6 month smiles fix it or do you think having braces on for about a year or 2 will be better. My dentist has not said anything yet about it so I want a second opinion. Thanks.

I’m 17, I Cannot Get Free Braces, What Should I Do About My Gappy Teeth?

Thursday, July 25th, 2013
Q.

I’m am a 17 year old boy who lives in England. I’m a full time student. i was offered braces a fee years ago but i had never wanted braces but looking back I wish I did, my top teeth are very gappy but my bottoms ones are fine (maybe a bit crowded) but I am happy with them. My top teeth are not bent, twisted and they are all in good condition but just gapped all the way along. What i would like to know is what alternatives do I have without the look of braces. I’ve heard about Invisalign but I think it will be to expensive for me, my price range will be in the region of under £3,000. Also is there any chance of getting any treatment with the NHS? If braces were still free on the NHS I may consider them.

Can You Close Gaps In Teeth Without The Use Of Braces?

Monday, January 7th, 2013
Q.

I have a very large gap in between my two front top teeth I’ve had it all my life and most of the women in my family have this, I’ve been to an othodontist and I havent got a tooth inbetween or any other dentistry problems. I’ve always wanted it closing up. I would like to know whats another way of sorting this problem out without braces? I’ve thought about veneers but have heard they are very costly? What would you advice? I was thinking maybe infills but am worried that my to front teeth would look overly large
thanks, I look forward to your response.

What braces treatment should I get before my wedding?

Wednesday, November 21st, 2012
Q.

Hi, I am 21 years old and getting married in 9 months, I have been considering braces for the past couple of month. I had them when I was younger so there isnt much to be fixed but it’s for my own self confidence. Can you tell me how much I should budget for the cheapest option available? I shouldn’t need them for that long but have I left it too late to get something done before my wedding?

Thanks

I’m 13 and looking into receiving braces, can I get them for free?

Tuesday, November 6th, 2012
Q.

hey there dr patel, i wanted to ask if i can i get braces for free if im under 18? and do you do a monthly plan? The thing is that my teeth are not straight and it is worrying me because i don’t want problems when i am older.  i am under 18 and i dont mind going for 6-month smiles or invisalign but obviously it is more expensive to have them,  so maybe a monthly plan will be better? and i also wanted to ask if you do metal braces? because many teens here have metal braces but i wouldn’t mind and by the way im only 13.
that’s about it really i hope you reply soon and urm, where are you located? 🙂

thanks in advance 🙂
take careee
