Wednesday, August 12th, 2009
Q.
I have read about Damon Braces in the USA and have seen good results, my lower teeth are straight, I have never required any dental work, just reg. check ups, and oral hygenist visits. However I do have a front teeth overlapping problem, the two teeth both sides of the main incisors,have been told by my dentist in Australia that I have a perfect bite. 1.Would the fitting of a Damon brace interfere with the perfect bite. 2.Would the fitting of a Damon brace to my upper teeth, require a brace on my lower teeth?

Is the six months smiles a good treatment for mild crowding

Monday, August 10th, 2009
Q.
Hello, i am interested in the six month braces, but have a few questions i have mild crowding in my upper front teeth and my bottom two front teeth overlap by about 2mm so one of them is at a slight angle behind the other the rest of my bottom teeth have just mild crowding with no rotation, my bite is also good, i understand that without photo’s and xrays you can not give me a definitive answer as to if i would be suitable for this type of ortho, but do you think i may be able to have this treatment.I live in the midlands and would be interested in coming to your practice for an assesment, in your opinion is the six month ortho a good solid treatment because i can’t find as much info on it as other treatments and does it really average just six months to complete. Thanks in advance.

My daughter is not happy with metal brace what are the alternatives

Friday, August 7th, 2009
Q.
My teenage daughter has been accepted for nhs treatment to have fitted braces. However,after years of being bullied and miserable because of her crooked, prominent teeth she is noe mortified at the thought of having a mouth full of metal. We asked if we could have a white upper brace and pay the difference but we were told that this was not possible and it would mean us paying the full cost of treatment £2300 we cannot afford to do this. Someone informed me that a gps letter stating that the metal one would have neg impact on her well-being would help. Is all of this info correct? would we have to pay the full amount? Thanks

My front tooth is little prominent do I need a braces advice?

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009
Q.
Hello, I have spoken to my dentist about getting cosmetic work done to my teeth, and he says I must come to him for a consultation first, so that he will be able to send me to the right dentist. I think I will need a brace on my front teeth, they are out of line, a little prominant and long and crowned some years ago. Is it right that I have to go to my dentist yet again (I saw him in January for an expensive check up), when nothing seems to have changed with my teeth? Many thanks

How does braces work on my small peg tooth?

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009
Q.
Hiya, im nearly 16 years of age and i am due to get my braces fited in about 3weeks time. the reason in which i am getting the braces is because i have a small peg tooth at the front of my teeth in which i am really self concious about and my dentist said that in order to build the tooth up she is going to have more room to do so; however there are other issues. i am very concerned about getting braces as most ofmy friends have already had them removed and i am the only one. when the brace is preparing room for the peg tooth to be built up am i going to have a larger gap there on show or can my dentist build this tooth up as the ortadontic treatment progresses? and how exactly does the building up of a tooth work?

My front teeth are slightly overlaps should i go for veneer or to get braces

Monday, August 3rd, 2009
Q.
Hi Dr, My front 4 teeth slightly overlap and have holes in the middle, one tooth is slightly chipped. I would love to have perfectly straight teeth without the holes and chips. I asked my dentist and she said I would need 4 Veneers but I also could go to an orthodontist to get these teeth straightened and then filling them would be no problem and it might be better. I’m not sure what is the best thing to do – get braces and then end up getting veneers also, taking more time and money or just getting veneers now to solve all my problems but in the long run what would the benefits be am I better to try to preserve my natural teeth as long as possible? Also my daugther is 10 and her teeth are very crooked bottom and top. She still has some baby teeht and her eye teeth have not come down yet – is it too early to start orthodontic treatment?

A.
To start with, I would strongl… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
