Are There Any Discreet Braces Suitable for People That Grind Their Teeth?

June 5th, 2014
Q.

Hi, I’ve been looking into braces for a long time now but I grind my teeth at night. My dentist has been trying to get this under control but it’s still a really bad habit of mine. Is there any discreet brace you can recommend that would be suitable for me? My teeth were already misaligned before I started grinding my teeth…so that isn’t the problem! I wanted Invisalign but have been told because they’re aligners they won’t be suitable because of the grinding. Thank you for your help!

What Is The Fastest Solution For Straightening My Teeth?

April 24th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr. Akere. I had braces around 3 years ago and my teeth were straight afterwards, but then my retainer broke and I didn’t get it sorted, and now my teeth have moved back. I want my teeth to be straight again as soon as possible, will Invisalign be the best solution for me? Thanks!

Can Invisalign Fix My Daughters Rotated Canine Tooth?

June 25th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Patel, I am interested and very attracted to the idea of invisalign for my daughter, instead of fixed, metal bracket braces. My daughter is only 17 and has unfortunately crooked teeth but is otherwise very beautiful and currently doing some modelling work. We believe she could go far in this career but she will need to have her teeth sorted. We would like to have this done with invisible braces or even braces that can be removed like invisalign. However, one of her canine teeth on the lower set it rotated almost 45 degrees, can this be fixed through invisalign and can she get them free on the NHS?

Would Invisalign be suitable for me as I grind my teeth?

August 1st, 2012
Q.

Hi there.
I would very much like to have Invisalign treatment on a few slightly off teeth that are not quite in line or straight enough. The problem I have is that I grind my teeth quite a lot at night. A couple of my teeth are quite worn down at the back but these are not the teeth I wish to treat. I am worried that my tooth grinding will harm the aligners and I will have to keep paying for more to be made?
If this is the case, what would you suggest as an alternative to Invisalign as I would like something very discreet if possible. Thank you for your help, I look forward to your reply.

Will invisalign help close the the gap between my teeth in time for my sisters wedding?

September 6th, 2011
Q.

hello doctor

i want to get invisalign for my two gappy front teeth, but was just wondering, typically, how long invisalign usually takes? What is the shortest time you have treated someone with it and what is the longest? i really wanted/needed my teeth to be straight in 7 months for my sisters wedding i was worried i’ll now be to late, do you think i’ll have enough time if i get treatment now or is it potentially to late?

thanks for your time

I know that both Invisalign and lingual braces are both invisible braces, but what is the difference between them?

April 8th, 2011
Q.

Hello, I am thinking of Invisalign but I have heard that that there is something called lingual braces that is better than Invisalign and that Kate Middleton has used this. DO you have any advice on which one I should go for and if they are different in terms of costs?

I have an overbite, which braces should I get?

February 4th, 2011
Q.
Hello, I have an overbite with some crowding. The best way I can think to describe the situation is that the top two front teeth have grown slightly in front of the teeth either side due to me having a narrow bridge! I have been told Invisalign was not suitable after having me details sent to America by a practitioner in Stafford! Would it be worth getting a second opinion as I imagine my details will again be sent to the same place? Will something such as Clearstep be an option? I really don’t like the idea of having a fixed brace and not just because of the appearance but also because of actually having something fixed permanently in my mouth for a period of time.,
