I am unsure of the aesthetics of fixed braces, can you recommend an alternative?

January 24th, 2011

Q.
Hi Dr Viola, I think i have overcrowded tooth with one tooth (front) that has slight grown upwards and makes me look like a dracula. I have been to a dental surgery in london before but he said invisalign wouldn’t be the best option, fixed braces will be better. I sent some photos recently to two other dental surgery and one said fixed braces and another said inman aligner. I don’t mind spending good money to get excellent results but i’m totally confused what to go for. I definitely do not want to go for fixed braces as i am 27 and i have to do a lot of presentations- with fixed braces i’ll look horrible ! I also heard of sectional braces, would that work for me ? Oh pls help… Thank you,

What should I do if I think my teeth have relapsed following treatment?

January 5th, 2011

Q.
I did an Invisalign treatment which I completed 90-95% of (I think only 2 out of 24 were left), unfortunately, I lost the last two braces in a house move so could not complete it. Since my teeth looked pretty OK, I just used the last brace I had as a retainer until Sep of this year and then stopped using it. Now I feel that my teeth might be relapsing (for e.g. that last brace won’t fit anymore), what would be the best course of action for me? I don’t really want to loose all the work that the Invisalign braces did for me. Please advise. Thanks very much!,
