My Teeth Look Bigger After Wearing Braces. Will They Ever Shrink Back?

June 23rd, 2014

Hi there, I have a question to ask. 8 months ago I had my metal braces removed, they’d been on for just over 18 months. Since they’ve been off I’ve noticed that my teeth are a lot bigger as a result, in particular the two teeth at the front. My dentist tells me that this is because of the bone reforming – I was actually worried that my teeth had been pulled away from the gums. Obviously I’m disappointed because I thought after having braces I’d finally be happy with my smile but this makes me feel even worse about my teeth. Will they ever shrink back?

Will Invisalign Help With Moving Relapsed Teeth Back?

June 2nd, 2014

Hi. As a teen, I’ve worn fixed braces on two separate occasions to aid moving my teeth backwards. At 17, I was finally free from fixed braces and was provided with retainers to wear at night. Through the years (I’m currently 24), I had stopped wearing them and as a result feel my teeth have started to move forward again and spaces have started to develop. Would Invisalign help with moving my teeth back (my teeth are straight with no apparent signs of overcrowding)?

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?

Do you think that Invisalign would be suitable for me?

September 18th, 2012

Hello,
I have been doing some research on different braces and I would really like Invisalign braces because they are so discreet. The problem area I have are that my front lower teeth are crooked and some are higher than the others. Would you recommend that I use Invisalign as I think the problem is quite minor? I have just graduated from University and will be moving to London in a few months. I would like to get the treatment done in the North-west if possible as I imagine the cost is more in London so would like to start treatment ASAP. Any advice would be very helpful, thank you.

Will my wisdom tooth affect my Invisalign treatment?

July 23rd, 2012

Hello,
I had a consultation with a private dentist about 7 months ago about getting Invisalign. I am 17 years old and although I was offered metal braces on the NHS I have managed to save enough money to get Invisalign instead.
Everything was fine during the consultation and I am due back in a few weeks to start the process and have impressions made but my wisdom tooth has started to come through in a strange way, well not straight and is quite sore. I could go to the emergency dentist to have it taken out ASAP or do you think I should talk to the dentist doing my Invisalign and delay it a bit? I don’t want the wisdom tooth to affect my Invisalign treatment.

Would Invisalign braces treatment work for my 13 year old son?

May 25th, 2012

Hello, I hope that you are well

I just wanted to inquire about invisalign for younger patients. My son is 13 years old and his teeth have come through very crookedly and now that they are all through I thought it would be time to do something about it to help boost his confidence. I really like the thought of him wearing invisalign, as it is invisible and he won’t be made to feel as awkward as he would wearing big metal braces-so my question is even though he is 13 would be be able to get invisalign and from how I have described his condition in this message do you think invisalign is the best treatment for him?

thank you very much for any help you can give me Dr Manoloutso

Will my past gum disease ruin my chances of treatment with Invisalign?

October 18th, 2011

i had gum disease about 4 years ago and although it all seems to have abated, i know that it can return. Because of this gum disease some of my teeth have moved into unflattering positions and I am really unhappy with my smile. I would love to have straight teeth and really like the sound of invisalign, but i am worried that the gum disease may have weakened my teeth, gums and bones and that putting any pressure on them may cause horrible problems in the future. What should I do doctor?

Thank you
