Should I consider implants over braces I have time issues?

Monday, December 7th, 2009
Q.
One of my front teeth is not aligned with the others because it was taken out a little bit late in my childhood years while removing the milk teeth. Now am 28 and I would like it aligned with the other teeth. Braces take a long time to realign teeth, thats why I wanted to choose a dental implant. What is the process of getting a dental implant and its advantages or disavantages over the other methods.

Braces can take as little as 8… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Can I depend on retainers without having braces again to move teeth?

Monday, December 7th, 2009
Q.
I had my braces off a few years ago and i wear my retainers everyday. I now notice that one of my tooth is moving forward and im freaking out about it. my ortho tried stripping the canine teeth a bit but i don’t see an improvement. Can i wear the T4K (trainers for kids) to make it go back to its original position? Is there a way for my tooth to go back without having braces again? Can the retainers do something about it?

I have relatively large front teeth and considering cosmetic treatment.

Monday, December 7th, 2009
Q.
I haven’t been visited te dentist for a while now, but haven’t expereinced anything major with my teeth. The only thing concerning me with my teeth are the way they look. My front two teeth are quite large, but the only look large as the next set of teeth are small. I’m 20 now but it feels as though my front 4 teeth going bent especially mt 2 ‘small’ teeth. i feel so paranoid as i smile alot. I now find my smile to be more smaller and tighter. I’m not sure if braces is a good option although i would like straight teeth all over (my bottom teeth are not too straight either. I’m not keen on braces and i know the pricing to correct my teeth will not be cheap or even a ‘little affrordable’. I’ve haerd about Invisalign. I’m quite interested. However i’m also interested in something that will sort out the problem with my 2 ‘small’ teeth, so that they are equal to the rest of my teeth. Is there something that i could have for the small set of teeth, that won’t damage my own teeth and will last me for a long time?

I have loads of question between Clearstep & Invisalign.

Monday, December 7th, 2009
Q.
CLEARSTEP VS INVISALIGN I have a few questions about ‘invisible braces’: What are the differences between the two? How long will it take? I have been prompted to take action as I am getting married at the end of the year and although from the front my teeth look quite straight from the side they look really uneven. If I started it asap would it make much difference by December? I am happy to continue for longer, I would just like some difference by then. How much does it cost? Which one is more cheap/expensive? Are the effects lasting? I had a metal brace as a teenager that improved my teeth a bit but I don’t think it was kept on long enough. I would be willing to wear a retainer if it keeps my teeth nice. Is Clearstep a suitable alternative to cases where Invisalign would work? Does Clearstep require attachments to the teeth the same as Invisalign? Could you suggest me a good professional cosmetic dentistry expert in Oxford? Thank you in advance for your attention,

I have decided on Invisible braces but would this work for my lifestyle?

Monday, December 7th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I am contemplating invisible braces but I think I have a few problems and I am trying to figure out the best way of doing this. I will be leaving for the Caribbean for 6-12 month contract (in about 3 months time). If I get the invisible braces put on in this country what do I do about the follow up sessions with the dentist? I work as a Divemaster and I will be diving every day, will this affect my braces in any way? I have considered veneers but I do prefer the braces option.
