Should I Get Braces or Veneers?

August 18th, 2014

Hello! I’m really hoping you can give me some assistance. I’ve got a very large and noticeable gap between my two front teeth at the top, which I’ve had since childhood. I’m 27 now and would like to have something done to fix it, and my NHS dentist has suggested private treatment. I don’t really know of any private dentists in my area though so am having a bit of trouble deciding what to do. I’ve done some research online and have been looking at veneers as well as braces. Which would you suggest?

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?

What Is The Best Treatment To Fix My Cross-Bite?

May 15th, 2014

Hello. I have a mild cross-bite. It’s been bothering me for some time now. It’s only really noticeable when I smile but I grind my teeth in my sleep, which obviously won’t help the matter! I think it’s making my bite worse! I’m looking into braces to help the situation, is there anything that you can recommend before I approach an orthodontist? I don’t really know what to ask for. Is there any brace that is especially for a cross-bite? 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!

A.

I never wanted ‘unsightly’ braces now i’m 63 would I qualify forclear braces?

September 15th, 2011

I am 63 years old and have quite a large overbite. I have always disliked my prominent teeth but have never had the courage to wear a brace because of them being so unsitely. Now that they have ‘invisible braces’ I am eager to know if I could potentially be a candidate for this treatment and how much treatment itself costs.
Could you help

Thanks

Can Invisalign correct my crooked teeth and ‘fangs?’

August 23rd, 2011

i have really, really horrible teeth, which are crooked and twisted and then have those weird fang things, with my teeth growing out of my gums! i really like the idea of invisalign as it just so much more unnoticeable than other braces, but do you think i am a viable candidate for this, or is there a brace system better suited to me? If there are other braces better for my condition could you please recommend them to me?

thank you for your time

Can Invisalign correct the damage my tongue thrusting has caused?

July 26th, 2011

I have a problem with my tongue, i think it’s called tongue thrusting, and it has effected my front teeth, so they kinda jut forward. I was wondering if invisalign would be a good brace for sorting this out? Also, i will probably be needing something after the treatment to stop my tongue from ruining my smile, could you tell me is there is anything like that available?

thank you
