Is My Dentist Trying To Con Me With Expensive Braces Costs?

August 9th, 2013

Hi Adam, here’s my problem: I personally don’t think I need braces, I’m convinced that a couple of veneers would simply do the trick. I think my dentist is trying to con me, I don’t know how to go about approaching the subject. I’ve already expressed my concerns because the gap is tiny but he’s saying I need fixed braces! Can you please advise me, honestly, I don’t think I’m going to get the right treatment. He says I’ll have to wear them for at least a year!

Would veneers or braces be best for a gap in my teeth?

September 6th, 2012

Hi,
I am in a bit of a dilemma at the moment as I have a gap between two of my teeth on the top which is very noticeable.My normal dentist told me to go to a private clinic so that they can tell me the best options.I live in a small village in Wales though so I don’t really know of anywhere so thought I would do some internet research.
I would class my problem as minor but I am not sure whether to go for veneers to cover the gaps as it’s quick or to go through the process of braces which could take time. What is your advice on this? Thanks.

I have lots of little gaps between my teeth, what are my options to close them?

August 23rd, 2011

hello

I have lots and lots of little gaps between my teeth, almost as if my teeth are smaller than normal teeth. I am looking into the different options for closing these gaps such as resin bonding and braces and I was just wondering if invisalign would be ideal for this certain condition? I would prefer this over other braces as if seems to be one of the most discreet, but if it is not correct for my condition could you recommend anything else?

thank you for your time

I have a dental implant, will I be suitable for Invisalign

June 15th, 2011

hello doctors,

do you think i would be suitable for invisalign, i recently suffered and accident and now have an implant with a post, but the rest of my teeth really need straightening but i am afraid that i will cause damage to the implant. The rest of my teeth are pretty spaced out, with little gaps everywhere, so i want things tightening up.
in your opinion even though I have an implant would I be a viable candidate for invisalign? thank you for your time

If my bottom molars are baby teeth will invisalign be able to correct spaces at the back?

January 5th, 2011

Q.
Hi, I’m supposed to be getting my impressions made in a few weeks. I have very straight teeth with little spaces in between and a little more space in between the bottom teeth as my first molars are baby teeth. My dentist mentioned to me that Invisalign might leave spaces in the back of my mouth before my molars. Now this is making me extremely hesitant as why would I pay to have the spaces removed and shifted to the back of my mouth. I have a big smile so I’m worried I’d be able to see them. Is this normal??,
