What is the best way to straighten teeth abroad?

Tuesday, April 5th, 2011
Q.

Hello,
I am 20 years old and had a train track brace in my teens. However, after forgetting my retainer on a 2 week holiday and chipping the front teeth, they have began moving back to the original place and i am unhappy with them. I have been looking into getting the invisalign treatment or even veneers on my 2 front teeth as i would feel worried that over time and the hassle of wearing a retainer for the rest of my life would make my natural teeth move back again. Please send me any information or advice you can offer on having this treatment abroad and the pros and cons. Thank you.

Can I have my protruding front teeth straightened?

Monday, April 4th, 2011
Q.

My two front teeth have always protruded since I was young, I am 59 now and would like to have them straightened as they seem to be getting more uncomfortable. My dentist tells me that this may not be possible as my gums are receeding. Would having them crowned work, or would the crowns be the same shape as my teeth are now.

Is it effective to align teeth by extracting one?

Monday, April 4th, 2011
Q.

Recently had a lower central incisor extraction inorder to straighten my botton incisors. Apparently there was no room whatsoever to avoid extraction due to a full compliment of 14 teeth. very distressing due to the current gap in my lower arch. How successful is this treatment , and what would be an alternative if at thre end of treatment there is relapse even with permanent retainers.I am 50 years old and extraction has had a psycological effect upon me as the extrcted tooth was healthy.
Thankyou

Will lingual braces change my facial structure?

Monday, March 28th, 2011
Q.

I am planning to get lingual braces, but I am afraid of the changes my facial features will have as a end result of a two year treatment plan. My orothodontist is telling me that if the treatment is done correctly there will be no change in my facial structure, yet I see many accounts on forums on the internet of lingual brace users with facial changes. I am to have four extractions (two behind bilateral, upper canine teeth, and two behind lower, bilateral canine teeth). I like my youthful face with high cheek bones…will this treatment hallow out my features and make me look older?
