What Is The Most Comfortable Brace System?

May 30th, 2014

Hello, I wondered if you could just provide me with a small piece of advice please? I can’t handle pain very well at all. I am overly sensitive and it’s been a problem of mine for many years now. The doctors hated me when it came down to having injections or anything like that. My teeth are very misaligned and I’ve been after braces for years but worried about the amount of pain that they may incur. Can you please tell which braces you think are the most comfortable? Thank you!

I Have One Tooth That Sticks Out. Are Braces Necessary For Just One Tooth?

May 28th, 2014

Hello, Dr Solanki. I’m 17 and have one tooth that points more to the left. It’s my left canine tooth and it points outward to the left. It doesn’t actually cause any pain, it just looks very strange. In order to straighten it would I need braces? My teeth are otherwise very nice and straight. It’s just this one tooth that is a problem so would it seem pointless to use braces to straighten one tooth?

I’ve Chipped My Tooth. Will It Harm My Invisalign Treatment?

May 20th, 2014

Great. I managed to chip my front tooth when playing football at the weekend. My aligner still fits but I am worried that this may in some way harm the treatment. Will it? I have my appointment at the dentist coming up this Friday anyway so I will ask then but I would appreciate to hear your opinion. Thanks.

Does Invisalign Treatment Really Take 18 Months To Be Completed?

May 19th, 2014

Hi there. I didn’t realise how long I’d be wearing the aligners for. My orthodontist suggested that I’ll need around 18 months for the treatment to be completed! I was convinced he’d say 6 months at the most! Is this right? Does it usually take this long? Or is it just a way for him to charge me more? Please be honest with me. Thank you.

Will Invisalign Stop Me From Clenching My Teeth?

May 15th, 2014

My dentist office recently recommended Invisalign as a treatment to straighten my slightly misaligned teeth. They told me that with this treatment it will stop my clenching once my teeth are aligned. Is this true or would it be best to just keep using dental guards when I sleep? My teeth have only a slight misalignment that most people wouldn’t even notice.

Is A Retainer Always Necessary With Invisalign?

May 13th, 2014

Hello Dr Akere. I’ve been considering Invisalign but I have a few questions first. Is a retainer always needed after the aligners? Are the aligners completely invisible? I used to have fixed braces and was picked on for them constantly, I don’t want it to happen again! Thank you in advance.

Can I Have Invisalign Treatment At The Same Time As Having Periodontal Treatment?

April 30th, 2014

Hi, what is your opinion on receiving aligners at the same time as having treatment for gum disease? I want to surprise my family when I visit them in Australia in 6 months time. I’ve always had a misaligned smile with large gaps and I think this is why my gums are in such poor health. I’m already being treated for my gums and looking for a dentist who would be willing to supply me with a brace system at the same time. Do you know of any? I live in Shrewsbury. Thanks for your time!

Am I Cleaning My Invisalign Aligners Properly?

April 25th, 2014

Hi Dr. Thorne. When using Invisalign, my teeth discolour slightly. This happens over the two weeks that I wear the aligners, despite my cleaning them as the orthodontist recommends (with washing up liquid). Is this normal, or should I be doing something different? Thank you.

Are Braces Dependant On What Age You Are? I’m 65, But I’m Not Sure Whether I Can Get Braces?

March 10th, 2014

Hello Dr Kumar. I’m 65 years old and recently lost my wife. I have always hated how misaligned my teeth were but they’re in such good condition (minus them being out of line) I’m a proud owner of a full set of teeth! I would love braces now and can see how much they’ve changed since I was a little lad. I feel I may be too old for braces now? What do you think? I don’t want to spend months in braces only to have my teeth fall out. Any advice you can provide me with on this matter would be fab. Thank you in advance!
