Would a dental veneer cover my yellow tooth?

Monday, September 3rd, 2012
Q.

Hi I had a consultation last year over my two front teeth and the one to the left of them, I had knocked my two front teeth years before and chipped both and had them filled with white fillings, which are still on them today, one tooth died and I had root canal but since then it has gone yellow, and my two front teeth over time have pushed back, also the tooth next to them went forwards and twisted over time. My question is would a veneer cover the yellow and could I have a veneer over the white fillings? As I really don’t want to have drastic filling and drilling down of my two front teeth! My second question is what are the risks of the Inman brace? As it moves your teeth quickly can you get fractures or damage to the roots of my teeth?

I thought receiving a permanent brace was a quick and cheap procedure, so why have I been quoted so much?

Friday, August 10th, 2012
Q.

Hi, I am wanting to have my top left front and the two directly next to this front one to the left straightened. I have had a consultation with my dentist who has informed me that an Inman or Invisalign type brace won’t work and that I need to have a permanent brace fitted at nearly double the cost of the other two. I have looked at pictures on the internet and some of the images that have used both the above type braces have had teeth that look severely more out of line than mine are. I wonder if you could give me some advice. I have been quoted £1,500 for an Inman and £1,900 for a Invisalign but up to £3,000 for a permanent brace. I am quite upset as I thought this was a quick and relatively affordable procedure. I am 43 and would prefer not to have the permanent brace.

My teeth have relapsed after my Inman Aligner treatment, what should I do?

Tuesday, April 24th, 2012
Q.

Hi. 18 months ago I began to wear an inman aligner. After about 10 months I was happy with the movement of my teeth. My dentist fitted me with a fixed retainer. My teeth began to quickly move back. It was removed and a new retainer was provided – which I wore at night. Again my teeth began to move. A second retainer was made. This one doesn’t fit and hurts my gums. I keep going back to my final aligner to keep my teeth in position – but they don’t look as straight as they did when my treatment had finished. In summary – I’m really disappointed in this drawn out treatment that isn’t working. Please can you tell me what you think I should do and what my rights are in terms of getting a refund? Thanks.

Are braces a better option to veneers for straightening my crooked teeth?

Monday, January 9th, 2012
Q.

Hi Rob,

I’m a 29 year old male from the East Midlands. I have what i would call severely crooked top teeth. This has had a major impact on my life, from relationships and interviews, to learning to even speak and laugh differently to hide my teeth. My top teeth are crowded and one of the top two front teeth angles back into the mouth and the other protrudes.

I have never been able to afford treatment but have just been made redundant and will be getting a reasonable pay-out, i have decided i want to look into getting my teeth sorted as they make me very unhappy.
Going to the dentist makes me very anxious as i am ashamed of my teeth, i did ask about correcting them a few years ago and was quoted £7500.00 for veneers. Even with my pay-out, this is still a little to much than i can afford.

I was just after advice really, i would rather avoid metal ‘train-tracks’ if possible, but have heard about others such as Clearstep and Inman aligners. From the very basic summary of what i’ve said, and the hindrance of not being able to see my teeth, would you think i can get anything done for say £5000.00? Are braces the best option for me, and will Clearstep or Inman be suitable for my degree of crookedness?
Any help is much appreciated.

Kind regards

I have a slight gap between my front teeth, would inman aligners or the 6 month smile be good at treating this?

Monday, April 18th, 2011
Q.

I have a slight gap in my top front teeth, a couple of millimeters or so. Do you think that the use of inman aligners or the 6 month smile would benefit me and close the gap as it is something I have been sensitive about for many years?

Can I have an Inman Aligner to straighten both adult and baby-type teeth?

Monday, April 11th, 2011
Q.

Dear Dr Moore,

I was just wondering if treatments like the Inman Aligner are applicable when you’ve still got baby teeth? I had a small operation a few years ago to remove an adult canine which never came through; consequently I’ve still got the original baby tooth sat in its place. I’m assuming I’d have to have that removed but do you think they would they be able to close the gap or put in a bridge or something?

Thanks in advance.
