Confused over duration taken for smile treatment

Thursday, November 5th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I visited an orthodontist in Cambridge who was very helpful. He said my teeth have an 8mm gap from top to bottom, they are also quite crowded at the top.So i would have to have 2 teeth extracted. The answer to straightening my teeth was take 2 teeth out one each side at the top (premolars)and then have a fixed brace for 18 months. I am quite happy with his answers to my questions.The cost was £2800 which i thought was reasonable. When i got home i looked into it more on the internet and found out about 6 month smiles. Would that be more suitable for me. The orthodonist i saw does’nt fit 6 month smiles.I guess he knows about the procedure and probably thought it wasn’t suitable for me, but would it be worth me making an appointment with yourself or someone nearer to my town to see if that treatment would be better.

Need long lasting remedy for discoloured gappy teeth

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009
Q.
I have had braces and yet i have a small gap between my two front teeth, my orthadontist said i should go and see my dentist for bonding or venners as there is nothing else she can do. i was just wondering which technique is better and longer lasting and if they are stain resistant. Also i may consider home teeth whitening kits, and was wondering if they the veneers or the bonding will whiten also. morevover can you please tell me the NHS prices fro these and if there is a significant reduction in prices if you are a university student.

Do the baby molar teeth need to be extracted?

Monday, October 19th, 2009
Q.
My daughter is 19 and has 2 pre-molar (baby teeth) still in place. There are no second teeth to replace them. Her own dentist suggests extracting these 2 teeth as she says they are growing into the gum. Do they need to be extracted or do you think they should stay. If they have to go what will she get to replace the wide gaps. thanks
