Hi, very quick question. I’m 30 years old and my top front teeth stick out. How would I go about making these look ‘normal’ and how much would it cost?
I believe you can have invisible braces, although I’m not sure how long you would need them in for and if they actually are invisible. I’m quite happy having artificial front teeth if that is possible? It just gets to the point where everyday I feel down about it.
Thanks.
Hello there. I have two front teeth sticking out like vampire teeth, so what treatment will I require? Will I have to get them pulled out? Will I have a twin blocker or what? Please do not say to consult your doctor, just tell me from your experience what you think.
Also what will it cost to get invisible braces? I am under 18. How long will it take for my teeth to settle down? Thank you. Please reply as soon as possible since I am very scared of getting braces.
Hi Dr Hughes. I’m 56 years old and have just over the last few years noticed that my teeth are starting to overlap. I think it is my incisors on both sides, although one side is worse than the other. I really need some advice please. I am wanting to know if you think having cosmetic surgery will be a better solution for me due to my age, or will the invisible braces be more suitable for me? Please get back to me soon, thanks for your help.
Hi Dr Gambroudes,
I am 28. I have an overbite (from sucking my thumb as a child) and slightly overcrowded mouth. My teeth don’t meet each other properly and cause me problems that similar to TMJ disorder such as neck problems etc.
I want to see an orthodontist, can you recommend one in South East area? Are they able to use invisible braces to correct my problem? Can braces correct a very narrow dental arch by making it wider or would braces only be able to push my front teeth backwards a bit?
Thank you for your time.
Hello, I have crooked teeth which I have always hated, I missed out on the chance of having braces as a child because at 12 I got told not to get them as I would need a operation on my jaw at 16 and my teeth would be straightened at the same time. When I turned 16 turned out I didn’t need the operation, but as a I know-all teenager I didn’t want train track braces for the next 4 years. Now I am 32 and I’ve had enough. I’ve been looking into the invisible braces and I’ve seen a place locally that do 6 month smiles treatment. I’m on a low income and I don’t know how I can afford this. Are there any cosmetic training hospitals that offer similar and less expensive? Thanks.
Hi Mark. I was just wondering how much teeth straightening would cost. I did have braces when I was 16 but my teeth have spaced out since then. How long would the procedure take and what is the likely cost. What are the different prices for each brace treatment? Invisible braces, fixed braces e.g. and so on? Which is the cheapest and does that include everything involved in the treatment. Would I go straight to an orthodontist for this, or would I get a referral through my dentist first? Thanks.
Hi Andrew, I am looking to have braces but don’t really like the thought of the train track braces but I have seen the Invisible kind. Do I need to speak to my dentist first before I go to my orthodontist?
Also is it possible to send a picture of the teeth and get a rough price?
They’re not that bad, it’s just the two front teeth and two at the bottom are not perfectly straight? My dentist says I don’t need them but I would be happier when I know my teeth are perfect and I’m willing to pay the price? I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.
Hi Dr Patel, I hope you are well. I’m in need of your advice. I’m currently 22 years old. I’m having a problem with my protruding teeth. I’ve already had braces when I was 15 but now feel my teeth have relapsed and are protruding again. I don’t even feel like smiling any more. I need some options. Which braces I should go for to make my teeth look straight. I’m currently looking for those braces which are invisible and doesn’t cost the earth. I would be really grateful to you if you could help me solve my query. Thank you.
Hi Mark. I have just had a consultation for Invisalign but after finding out that it is not predictable for rotated canines I am now thinking about my other options.
Would lingual braces work for this? It is just my top right canine and so it would be nice to just have a brace on the top row, but not sure this is possible.
As yet I am yet to find anything that will sort out just this canine in a localised and more or less invisible way. Any information on this would be great. Thanks.
