Q.
I have one inciser on my upper set which is well back from the others. It makes it difficult for me to eat and actually hurts as a catch my tongue on it. How would you propose to sort this for me. I have photographs of my mouth if you require. My dentist didn’t know what to do. I am male and 23 years old. It would be great to get it done as I am very conscious about it also. Thank you and look forward to hearing from you.

What is price range for inman Aligner or 6 month smiles

Monday, August 17th, 2009
Q.
Hello I am 24 years of age and sick of teeth!!! Sounds bad I know… The main problem is my two front teeth that stick out causing a moderate to severe overbite. The lateral incisors also stick out but only slightly. Overall they dont look incredibly bad (as friends and family say) but I would prefer straight teeth as I am extremely self concious. I am looking into orthodontic treatment and in particular Inman Aligners or 6 -Month smiles but I’m unsure which will achieve better results or if they’ll both equally effective. Also, what are the price ranges for both options? Thanks!!!

Would I need to have teeth extracted for the brace to work?

Monday, August 17th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I have some questions about six month braces and what they can achive, all my upper and lower front teeth have mild crowding except my lower two front teeth that slightly overlap by roughly 2mm, my worry is if i would need to have teeth extracted for the brace to work, basically what i am asking is how much room can be made with this brace ie: does it widen arches to make room, and how much space can be created with reprox or tooth slenderising not sure of the correct term for this, also does reprox affect the health of teeth. Thanks for taking the time to read my question.
