Could you plz list pros and cons of Invisalign and Inman Aligner

Monday, October 12th, 2009
Q.
Hello, As a child I wore a brace on my upper teeth but over time my teeth have moved and I now have a front tooth that is not in alignment with the others. I was wondering what would be the better option for me to correct this. I’ve been looking at Invisalign and Inman Aligner, can you tell me the pros and cons for each, and also what kind of cost would I be looking at.

Is its necessary to hv my fillings redone?

Monday, October 12th, 2009
Q.
Hi there, I suffered from bulimia when I was 18 & 19, I’m now 36 and my 2 front teeth have several fillings caused by the bulimia. I’m happy with them at the moment, although the fillings did fall off and had to have them redone but my dentist has said that I should have crowns and that Lava crowns would be the best solution. He has said that I should have them on the front top 4 teeth. Is there a problem with me leaving it as I’m happy with the fillings and think that Lava means that I will have to have a lot of my real tooth filed down and think what is the point if it looks ok and isn’t really causing me too many problems.

If you are happy with the fill… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Could you suggest the right brace with best results for cheapest plan?

Monday, October 12th, 2009
Q.
Hi Dr, I’m a 26 year old female. I have buck tooth, I used to suck my thumb until a very late age. I wouldn’t say they are that bad but I would like to straighten my teeth. Obviously without looking you wouldn’t be able to tell me how long it will take. Maybe I should pop in for a consultation. I don’t have buckets loads of cash so am looking for the right brace with the best results. I’m saving my pennines now… well I need to buy my bed first then I’ll save after that! Do you have a flexi plan? Maybe not, just asking as some Dentistries do. I have Overjet, Open bite and a Misplaced midline. Regards

Monday, October 12th, 2009
Q.
Hi, my front two teeth are a lot bigger than the rest, making them look odd. I was recently thinking about having them removed and having smaller ones in place, but obviously i need to know about the options available.
