Could you advise cheaper alternative orthodontist for ligunal and regular braces in central london?

Sunday, March 29th, 2009
Q.
Hello I’ve just seen an orthodontist regarding repositioning/straightening my incisors to achieve a better smile (they currently protrude slightly, in particular one of them). I would prefer invisible braces (lingual)and I was quoted £7,500 (or £6,000 for lingual on the top teeth and regular braces on the bottom). He estimated the process should take 12-15months. I would like to know whether these are representative costs for this treatment? Also, could you advise a cheaper alternative/location for a cheaper orthodontist. I am based in central London where the orthodontist I visited is also based. Regards and many thanks for any advice offered.

I would like to know if having braces fitted would alter my faceshape considerably?

Saturday, March 28th, 2009
Q.
Lingual Braces. I have quite crooked bottom teeth. My uppers are straight, but as my teeth where overcrowded as a child and teeth upper extracted to allow room it lead to the lowers crowding. I always knew that a brace was needed but my dentist always said not to worry and I didnt really need one. I went for an Invisilign consultation this week. The Orthodontist didnt even look at my teeth close up. He just asked me to bite down etc while he sat at the other side of a desk. He told me invisilign would not work for me and I need metal braces. He also advised I need them for upper and lower teeth. I have a consultation with a Lingual orthodontist in a few weeks. I would like to know if having braces fitted would alter my faceshape considerably? (Im happy with it as it is). How long do you wear retainers for after treatment and are they invisible? And the possible cost? I know this can go up to £8500. I look forward to hearing back from you. Thanks

I have a fairly major problem with my front teeth

Tuesday, March 10th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I have a fairly major problem with my front teeth. Due to over crowding, I believe my Canine tooth is pushed in front of the other teeth and positioned weirdly in my gums, higher up in my gums than my other teeth. Due to the extra space left, my left central incisor is positioned a few millimeters past the center, and my right front tooth is about 1 to 2 millimeters apart. I could easily take a picture to show you exactly what I mean, but my question is basically, is there any cosmetic solutions to making my front teeth at least appear straight, and without the gap in my front teeth, and should I consider getting my Canine tooth taken out. The bottom of the canine tooth is roughly at the same level as the gum line that meets the teeth in the normal teeth, so it’s fairly bad. I work in a line of work where wearing braces is not acceptable, so that isn’t an option even though I wish it was. I personally do not mind braces, but again, nothing I can do because of my line of work.

It is possible now to have lin… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Q.
I am looking into getting lingual braces, I had a consultation with an orthodontist who uses the STB light lingual system. How does STB compare with the Incognito lingual braces? Which ones are more comfortable and which one produces better results? I have a 5mm overbite and slight overcrowding in my lower teeth.

I think they both produce good… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I really really hate my teeth

Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008
Q.
Hello there:) I’m a 16 year old girly, and I really really hate my teeth! Everyone tells me there’s nothing wrong with them and to be honest there isn’t any major problems! I just want them to look perfect! For me! Here’s an idea of how they look:- / < My top teeth slightly stick out \ < & this is the bottom row. I just want both rows pushed back, straight, but the thing is i really don’t want any normal braces! My hearts set on lingual. As my teeth stick out having normal braces would look flaming rediculous! Could i have lingual braces? All my teeth are together with no gaps apart from the front two, so would having teeth removed be an issue? Im honestly not fussed about the price! but i really wan’t lingual and no other, not even invisalign it’l just look silly. The un-noticable the better! As i said i’m 16 but do i have to pay the whole amount straight away, could i not pay a fee over a period of time as of my circumstances? Sorry if i blabber on, i just really wan’t my teeth straight and my private dentist said no when i was 15. So now i pay the price! Please do get in touch if you have time! I’d love to hear your verdict on my sad dilema! Much appreciated:) Ps: I have no idea if you even specialise in lingual braces, total guess!
