Can I Have Bone Grafting Treatment If I Am Just About To Go Ahead With Invisalign?

Wednesday, July 3rd, 2013
Q.

Hi, I am just making a small enquiry. I’m hoping you can shed some light…I have bone loss from periodonitis and have many black triangles, some of which are too deep to fill with alloderm. Can this bone grafting technique be used to reduce the pockets and black triangles so that I can then follow up or at the same time have alloderm treatent to improve my smile? I am soon to undergo invisalign to correct my crooked teeth so I also wanted to know whether I could have bone grafting/alloderm treatment at the same time as my invisalign treatment? I know it’s quite a lot to ask, I’m just make general enquiries before I speak to my dentist about all of this.  Thank you very much for your time.

Would You Suggest The Usage Of Both The Essix And A Bonded Retainer?

Thursday, June 13th, 2013
Q.

I had the metal braces for about 3 years and a half (crowded teeth and over jet/bite problem) then I wore my Hawley’s regularly for 2 years (24/7 and even while eating!)but my teeth shifted (lower canine and front teeth) so I had to go again with braces but this time with the Invisilign system and it worked pretty well for 5 months or so then my doctor suggested I get the permanent or bonded retainers because he is fearing that my teeth may shift AGAIN but I want the Essix one to keep the new 3D position of teeth intact or unchanged .I do not what to choose. could you help? And do you suggest bonded and essix together at the same time? Is that possible?

Would Veneers Mask My Rotated Teeth?

Friday, May 31st, 2013
Q.

Hi
I am just inquiring about veneers, I have a slight chip in my front tooth and the incisors next to them are rotated slightly, I would ideally like them porcelain veneers and would like as much information as possible and any recommendations you may have, I often find my tooth gets caught on my lip due to its rotation and would love it either straightened or veneers on the front four teeth. I am unsure if it is possible to get only the from four teeth as veneers ? If this is possible what would you recommend ? I am overall happy with the rest of my teeth they are relatively white and overall straight apart from the four front one wich have the small chip and are rotated, I am a little worried by veneers as they are not necessarily perminant and I’m unsure how long they last and how much they cost to replace and how often ? I love the Holywood type smiles but don’t think I could keep up with the constant upkeep ? I would ideally like to disguise the rotated teeth as they make me unhappy with my teeth so they would be my priority, is it possible to use veneers to disguise rotated teeth or is it best to just get these teeth straightened ? Overall I would love a straight white smile and by fixing these four teeth I think I would be much more happy with my smile. Thank you for your time. Kind regards

What Should My Son Do About His Mid-line Shift?

Thursday, May 9th, 2013
Q.

Which treatment is best and cheapest for my son he is 16 years old and had NHS orthodontist treatment 6 years ago. He stopped wearing his retainers four years ago. Now his wisdom teeth are coming through he has a mid-line shift of top front teeth going to the right,
Before the orthodontist treatment 6 years ago we had to have a tooth removed on the top right side due to overcrowding, I feel this has caused the mid line shift as x-ray has been taken and he has the extra tooth on the left side plus the wisdom teeth which are coming through and pushing the whole line off teeth to the right.
I would appreciate any advise you can give thank you.

Can I Straighten My Teeth Without Braces?

Tuesday, April 30th, 2013
Q.

Hello Doctor, so I’ll start you off with the main point of my question, okay, I have just the ONE slightly one crooked tooth on the top row. I had straight teeth before and my extra teeth grew in the back and pushed all my teeth forward and made my teeth (or my one tooth) crooked -.- is there any way to make my teeth go back to normal without getting braces ? I really really really really do NOT want braces because then I’ll probably have a garish piece of metal in my mouth and that’s not pleasant for anybody really. But, you are the expert and if I do need braces about how long do I need them for ?also I brush my teeth EVERYDAY and night and they are still yellow very very yellow I do not drink coffee either is there anything I could do ? or a tooth paste you recommend for me ? thank you so much.

Are Composite Veneers Right For Me?

Thursday, April 18th, 2013
Q.

Hello, I am interested in getting veneers to correct the overcrowding of my teeth. One of my canine teeth is up pretty high. Is this something that veneers can fix? Also, is this something that composite veneers can fix? I am looking for something that is reasonably priced as I would do braces if I could afford it. I have been to a consultation already for braces and they said that I would be a good candidate for the invisalign series of braces, I’d love to get that, but it is just too expensive. Thank You!

What Is Available To Help Me Straighten Just My Top Row Of Teeth?

Monday, April 8th, 2013
Q.

Hi, I just wanted to ask whether it is possible to get Invisalign braces for just the top set of teeth. And a rough idea about the cost for them… The bottom set of my teeth are fine and so are the top set however on the top set.. the two middle teeth are slightly different length.. just slightly… and the tooth after the one next to the middle teeth on the right hand side is higher then the rest of my other teeth.. so basically i just need them for the top set really. Also how many months will i need to keep them on for until the top set are straight… are they painful?

My Daughter’s Teeth Are Still Moving Despite Her Fixed Braces, Is This Normal?

Tuesday, March 26th, 2013
Q.

Hi
My daughter is 16 and has had fixed braces twice now for protruding front teeth. after the first time she was told to wear retainers only in the evening for a year. during this year i noticed that her teeth had moved to their previous position before braces. after complaining to the orthodontists he again fitter fixed braces for a year after pulling 4 teeth. he has now taken the fixed braces off and given her the invisalign to wear only at night. she has been wearing the invisalign for 4 months and her teeth have moved forward again. he says that it is acceptable for them to protrude 4mm but i feel that after all this treatment they should be in line with the back teeth and not protrude at all. is 4mm acceptable or should she have further treatments? is invisalign the right way to go?

Would It Be Risky For Me To Get Braces?

Tuesday, March 19th, 2013
Q.

Hi. I am a 34 yr old male considering invisalign for my top and bottom teeth. I am wondering if any dentist who is trained can do the job or if it is preferable to see an orthodontiist? Since it is computer generated, it seems fool proof. However I know someone who has had quite a bad experience with a dentist recently and they were having braces done to straighten teeth. it doesn’t really strike me as the kind of thing that one can mess up. Obviously I don’t know about these treatments though, it’s just that I hadn’t really heard of braces being a source of bad news from a dentist. It always has seemed like the safest treatment that they can offer you in my mind. I suppose on of my questions would be, is there any chance that my teeth can be realigned incorrectly by a dentist? And, also I am wondering if invisalign, clear correct and simpli5 are comparable products? Thank you.

What are the costs and payment plans for Invisalign to correct overbite and a gap in my front teeth?

Friday, February 15th, 2013
Q.

I received orthodontic treatment as a kid to correct my overbite (in part due to thumb sucking) and a gap in my 2 front teeth. I have a fixed retainer on the back of my top 6 teeth which has not been maintained properly as gradually the gap has reappeared (in the front & at sides) and my teeth protrude (overbite is back) I’m interested in Invisalign to correct both of these issues, please can I have a guide as to cost & payment plans? Also, I show a lot of gum when I smile which is something I have always been conscious & hinders me naturally smiling, especially in photos. I would really like to have a procedure as part of my treatment to perfect my overall smile, is this possible at the Chelmsford surgery? Thanks in advance.
