What Alternatives Are There To A Bridge?

Monday, March 17th, 2014
Q.

Hi. When I was younger, it was discovered that I had no “adult teeth” growing under my bottom two centre milk teeth, so I had them removed. I had a brace fitted to close the gap and another brace on my top teeth to straighten and close gaps. Unfortunately, at the time, I didn’t regularly wear the retainer to keep them in place so now my teeth have come apart again. I had a bridge fitted to the gap at the bottom but the gums behind the supporting teeth seem to get swollen and sore regularly. What would you recommend as an alternative to the bridge, and more importantly the gaps and alignment at the top? I was thinking lingual braces at the top would be best for me but I have quite small teeth. Kind regards.

I Have 7 Gaps That Need Closing In. What Type Of Procedure Would Do This And Am I Too Young?

Monday, March 10th, 2014
Q.

Hello, I am 13 years old and I just want the gap in the front of my teeth to close in. It’s not that big but you can tell it’s there and also the sides of my teeth have gaps in them. I was just wondering how much would it cost just to have my front gap filled in and how much would it be to get all of of it done and also how long would this procedure last, are there any side affects? There are 7 gaps all together. How much would that be altogether? Is it it legal to have it done at my age? Many thanks.

I Want To Close The Gaps In My Teeth, What’s The Cheapest Way For Me To Do This?

Wednesday, April 24th, 2013
Q.

I can email you a clear picture of my teeth. I want to close my gaps and also change my fillings to white.
Please can i email you a picture for a quote? I have about 10 fillings and I have 4 gaps at the front. I am 29 years old. My dentist told me when I was 9 that the gap would close naturally, when I asked for a brace, but it never closed. I can’t afford hundreds of pounds of treatment so I am looking for the easiest and cheapest option available to me.

Will ClearPath aligners reduce my overbite?

Monday, September 10th, 2012
Q.

Dear Doctor,
Need some advice on ClearPath aligners.
I have an 8mm overjet and the upper front teeths and slightly angled out and gaps between upper four front teeths. If the teeths are pulled back to close the gaps, I think the overjet can be reduced to 5-4mm and and this can close the gaps.Do you think ClearPath aligners can be useful for me.? Do clearpath aligners are used for this kind of malocclusions…? I am 27 years old now.
