Would I need to have teeth extracted for the brace to work?

Monday, August 17th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I have some questions about six month braces and what they can achive, all my upper and lower front teeth have mild crowding except my lower two front teeth that slightly overlap by roughly 2mm, my worry is if i would need to have teeth extracted for the brace to work, basically what i am asking is how much room can be made with this brace ie: does it widen arches to make room, and how much space can be created with reprox or tooth slenderising not sure of the correct term for this, also does reprox affect the health of teeth. Thanks for taking the time to read my question.

My teeth are very unattractive so would invisible braces or veneers be an options?

Thursday, August 13th, 2009
Q.
Hi, i have hated my teeth all my life and they have always been a problem. I have had two braces (first a retainer then a ‘train track’ brace) my teeth were intially straight whenthe brace first came off but the two they had brought forward had a lot lower gums than the rest which looked very unattractive, i was told that in time the gums would move themselves up. well 5 years later im nearly back to square one the gums have not moved and my teeth have moved back. i would like to know what i can do to gain a nice smile i saw veneers would not be the solution but i feel i deserve a nice ‘hollywood’ looking smile after all ive gone through. would an invisible brace then veneers be an option?
