Hello. I have looked at various brace options now and am a bit fed up of looking.I want to get braces as soon as possible. I like the look of the inman aligner as a way of fixing mildly crooked teeth. I have however heard bad press about them so to speak. never anything academic just oh this isn’t proper and things like that. Is there any reason why you wouldn’t administer this treatment or even opt for an alternative. thanks
Hi I want the social six treatment for the obvious reasons that my teeth are largely fine just the ones at the front are crooked. I want to know one or two things first though. firstly is, do i have to have the one brace like fitting or can I choose to have another type of fitting like the ingognito? and secondly no matter which I use, will I have to have a tooth extracted? thanks

Hello. as a 25 year old assistant teacher I don’t feel that traditional braces offer the look of proffesionalism in the workplace. as a reslult I had thought about having a lingual brace. I know there are differnt types of brace (I can see a list of them on the side of the page here) but they are all different as some are on the front of the teeth and the linguals are on that back. what I want to know is that, there are many different types of brace I can see that are for the front but how many different types of brace are there for the back of the teeth or is there just the one option? thanks
Hi,
I am a 31 year old adult considering getting braces. I have had three consultations with three different specialists. The first orthodontists recommended that I have fixed upper and lower appliances (train tracks) for 12-18mths. It was only after this consultation that I learnt about lingual braces. I then had two more consultations with two different specialists (both of which were not orthodontists but offered orthodontic treatment). Both told me that I
would be a suitable candidate for lingual braces. The first quoted me 9-10 mths treatment time, the second 6-7mths treatment time.
I would prefer to go for the lingual brace system, however, my two concerns are: firstly, can lingual braces be as effective as the traditional ‘train tracks’ when the treatment time is much less? Secondly, the specialists that recommended lingual braces were not orthodontists but dentists who specialised in some orthodontic treatment. If I am considering lingual braces should I make sure the treatment is carried out by an orthodontist.
Your advice would be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks.

Hello Mr Patel, thank you for reading this,. I am nineteen and have a problem with my tooth. My upper left incisor sits higher up than the gumline of the rest of my teeth. as such this has caused me a great deal of distress and discomfort in terms of eating as there have been no teeth there to tear into foods. I have all my life taken meats and things that need tearing tot he right hand side and have subsequently crushed foods on the left. I fear this in itself has caused more damage? Is there a brace that will bring this tooth down to the rest and could you share anything on your mind about this situation. thanks again.
Hi Darsh I had lingual braces fitted ages ago. about five/six months now and I don’t particularly like them as I haven’t got used to them. my tongue still feels like it has no room and i thought I would be used to this b now but no. I still have about a year or slightly more to wear them. I was wondering if i could change my treatment in conjuction with my treatment plan or with the minimum change to it? I wuold like to try the incognito as they look slightly less obtrusive. wouold this be possible or would it require starting all over again? thanks for your time Dr 🙂
Hi SABA, I’m a life long dental phobia patient. It it is not my wish to have orthodontics but it most certainly is my wish to have nice teeth. I don’t think I’ll be too bothered about having a brace once it’s on but I know i will be whilst its being put on. there’s a few things I would like to find out from you from this if that OK. first is how long would it take to have alingual brace put on and secondly what is available to help me through the procedure? If you can answer these it will go some way to re-assuring me, I am very grateful for your time.

Hello Mr Darsh Patel, I have been wearing the damon brace for five months now. I have the tooth coloured ones which do look really discreet. I am really happy with them and my dentists work with them, I had them fitted in one session only 10 days after an initial appointment/assessment (would have been sooner but he wanted to make sure my mouth was in the best possible condition). I honestly cant gush enough I’m really happy with how it’s all turned out and I’m sick of horror/sob stories so I thought it worth a mention that these things work well! I just want to know about what happens after- I know I will have to have a retainer and am having a wire? but its the tooth whitening I was concerned with, will that be of extra cost or do you think it will be included because I’m worried my teeth will look more yellow when finished? thank you sir
If I have braces what will happen to the surface of my teeth? Im due to have braces and have subsequently been refered to the orthodontists for an appointment to begin planning the next steps, could you please tell me what I should expect to be put through as in the steps he will recommend, I’m quite worried/nervous you see and the appointment not until another three weeks which is too long to not know? secondly and as for my initial question on what will happen to the surface of my teeth I wanted to know what happens with regards to fixing the braces in place? will I have countless months after the braces treatment ha finished and they’ve been taken off having to scrub glue off my teeth and therefore taking the enamel right down? I’d ask if lingual braces would be better but they would surely be exactly the same just on the back? cheers for you time

Hi Darsh Patel. I was wondering if you could give me some advice about orthodontics on my lower teeth. My to teeth have moved ever so slightly out of line, really not noticeable without taking extra attention. my lower ones however have crowded badly, I’ve heard that is quite common. I would like to have to lower ones straightened which will more than likely require a brace I’m not fussed about that but would it be ok for me to come back at a later date and perhaps have Invisalign on the top arch? would this be possible or would I have to have all the treatment all at once? I don’t want a full system on the top arch its really not necessary/worth it when compared with the alignment you see?
