Hi Sunita,
I just wanted to ask about what treatment you could recommend for my teeth. I am 18 and have never been confident with my teeth, so much that I don’t like smiling at all in photo’s and feel really held back by them. They are fairly crooked and the front two are pushed more to the front that the rest. Not only this but it looks slightly crowded and my canine on one side is much smaller than the other. It’s sounds picky, many people say they are okay, but I feel really bothered by them and my dentist did say they needed straightening out with a brace or something. I wanted to ask your advice on this. I am funding myself as I am 18 and wanted to know whether a brace or the new Invisalign would be better, and if veneers would be appropriate? I hope you understand how this has affected my confidence,
Thank you,

What brace options are best for my teeth?
Tuesday, May 31st, 2011I had brace work at 10 but my front teeth stick out, what can I do?
Tuesday, May 31st, 2011Hello,
I had braces when i was 10 for 3 years! Unfortuantly they didn’t take any teeth out and now my front two teeth stick out and the gums have start to receed, i also suffer with grinding my teeth at night which has caused the back one’s much problems (i have been doing it since my grandad died when i was 15) and now my dentist wants to take one out as it’s causing me so much pain. The thing is i do not want it out as i am worried they will go even more wonky and cause me even more trouble, i can not afford braces as i am a single mum (I am working but still not alot of spare cash) is there any chance that i would be able to get some sort of insurance so i can claim for the braces or would the NHS do it for free seeing as they made the mistake in the first place? BTW i am now 24.
Thank you
What is the best way to straighten teeth, braces or veneers?
Tuesday, May 31st, 2011 Hi,
You recently did a fantasic job on my sister and i was hoping for some treatment/advice.
Generally i have good straight teeth, years of braces, etc however recently ive noticed (prob always been like this) that the front two teeth, one of them slightly sticks out than the other one, the difference is slight, but bothersome.
Cosmetically, what are my options? Are we talking braces, or veneers..If veneers, then would it be just on one tooth?
Thanks for reading.
What are the best invisible braces?
Tuesday, May 31st, 2011Hi Rob
My situation is that i have pretty awful teeth due to growing up scared due to the way they look…and still I dont like the idea of having the classic metal visible braces. If it was up to me I would get some sort of surgery even if it means not having my original teeth but my girlfriend just won’t allow that to happen. So i’m looking for a quick cheap and non visible way of straightening my teeth…but arnt we all?
I am aware of invisalign but I hear the worse shape your teeth are in then the more it will cost so in my case that will means 5k+
Regards
I have slanted front teeth but cannot have braces because of my baby tooth.
Friday, May 27th, 2011hi there, i just wanted some information from you. my front two teeth are slanty because i have a baby tooth which cannot be removed because my dentist said that if they put braces on me then that baby tooth may fall out because a lot of pressure will come on to it, and there is no other big tooth behind it. so i just wanted to know if you could do anything to them to make them straight?or if you can straighten my teeth and make my baby tooth look bigger? and how much would this cost? thanks
My teeth are back in the same position they were before my braces.
Monday, May 23rd, 2011Hello doctor ,when I was a teenager I had a brase for a very long time,then I had an operation to correct my jaw and shorten my top gum I then had a cage like frame on my face.when the treatment was complete the cage and brace was removed,my teeth were straight and my face looked better.Problems started a few years later there is a gap between my teeth again, all my front teeth dont touch and my front teeth are now completely out of line from time to time I experience pain and the feeling that I can feel my teeth moving. I dont understand why this has happened I cannot afford private treatment I dont know what to do. thank you for your time
I have gaps between my teeth after my brace work has been ‘completed’, what should I do?
Monday, May 23rd, 2011Dear doctor,
I am still having my braces on but i noticed holes in where my gums were supposed to be. It looks something like Fig 11 and 13 in this website.

My orthodontist said it is not going to grow back on its own. Is there a type of gum implants or treatment for my problems? Or should i ask for her to push my teeth deeper into the gumline?
THANK YOU!
After years of brace work my teeth have drifted. What are my options?
Monday, May 16th, 2011I had braces for 4 years when I was a teenager, and wore my retainer for 6 months longer than was required. Despite this my teeth have grown back to their original position. This is quite upsetting as you can imagine, since I spent my adolescence being ridiculed and going through quite a lot of pain for the braces, and it turns out it was all for nothing. I’m now 22, and don’t want to have to pay for the mistakes my orthodontist made. What treatments are available to me?
I have over crowded teeth, what would be my best options?
Thursday, May 12th, 2011 Hello Dr Verma. I hope I find you well. I have a question I would very much appreciate you answering. I am twenty years old and I have over-crowded teeth with one of my front teeth slightly overlapping the other one. A dentist here in India has advised me to get it mend with the help of veneers as I don’t want to have to undergo the orthodontic treatment. The concept is however new to me. Therefore, I am little apprehensive. Please inform me about the utility (in my case), procedure, after-care etc of the treatment and all of that other important stuff you think is of essential know how.
Thank you for your time.
I have a big gap in my front teeth, what is the best way to close it?
Thursday, May 12th, 2011Hello, i’m 17 and have quite a big gap in my front two teeth and the teeth either side also have a slight gaps. 3years ago my dentist told me that the gaps would close naturally quite soon, but nothings happpened. I really hate smiling in photos as I hate showing my teeth. the bottom row are fine. to give a rough idea, my teeth are similar to how the 1st womans were on your portfolio and i’d like to have my teeth like hers are now. I’ve heard veneers would be good, but don’t last long and can crack easily. what would you think the cheapest ways are to fix the gap? can i permenatley get rid of the gap or will it always be there? thankyou
