I’m wondering if lingual braces will be suitable for me

Friday, November 21st, 2008
Q.
Hi, I’m wondering if lingual braces will be suitable for me? I’ve previously looked into invisallign but was told it was not suitable. My problem I’d like to correct is crowding at the bottom. Although I’ve been told my top teeth are all shifted to the right so these would need to all move (which apparently is a lot more work). I also have two teeth which are rotating due to missing adult teeth that are non existant! I am 28 and have 2 baby teeth left in tact. My wisdom teeth are also fully erupted on my bottom so they are causing even more crowding. I’m guessing this sounds like a massive job? I’d like to have confirmation that something is possible – I’ve been somewhere and was told it was would take too long and made to feel ashamed! so I’m at my wits end! I’d appreciate your feedback.

I used to have severely protruding front teeth

Monday, November 10th, 2008
Q.
I used to have severely protruding front teeth and had my first brace fitted when I was 9. My treatment was finally completed when I was 12. However I am now 20 and although my teeth are still relatively straight since my wisdom teeth have come through they seem to have pushed my front teeth forward. I’m quite conscious and don’t want to go down the route of fixed metal braces again and therefore I am wondering what other choices of treatment are available? Thank you.

my dentist suggested that i start with invisalign

Thursday, November 6th, 2008
Q.
Hiya, my dentist has just suggested that i start with invisalign. at a cost of almost £3000. i’m 19 and currently unemployed so that is a huge cost to me. I have some sort of problem (which i will be seeing a doctor about asap) which means i cannot breath through my nose very well so i tend to breath through my mouth and have done as long as i can remember. i have been told that this is the reason for the dental problems i have. i have a narrow top jaw which caused 2 of my teeth (the ones either side of my 2 front teeth) to come through behind the front ones. i had orthodontic treatment beginning with an expandable retainer from age 10 (i was made fun of because i couldnt talk around it so i often took it out) after some time i then had fixed braces which for a while had a spring in the roof of my mouth in order to expand it a little more i think. after just under a year with those on (the elastic band kind) they were removed and i had lovely straight teeth…. for about 2 weeks, maybe a month before the two offending teeth began to move back again i had another chunky plastic/wire retainer which i did wear and my orthodontist reduced the time i had to wear it towards the end of my treatment (every other day… just nights etc) my teeth now are nowhere near as bad as they were originally, i just have a slight crossbite involving those two teeth, but i really wish they were straight again. i saw in one of your other answers about permenant retainers, like a wire stuck behind the teeth to prevent them moving, my cousin in america has one of those and i always thought i should have had that done too since my teeth had moved so drastically and i feared they’d be more likely to move back. i was never offered the option to have a permenant retainer else i surely would have gone for it. should i have been? i also wonder if the breathing problem may have had some impact on whether or not my teeth moved after treatment? is £3000 (i think it might have been £2800 but even so) a reasonable price for my treatment and is it worth doing or will my teeth just move again? i do hope you can offer some guidance, many thanks.
