Are Traditional Fixed Braces A Better Way Of Obtaining The Hollywood Smile Or Do Lingual Braces Work Just As Well?

January 27th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Qureshi, I have 6 months smile braces on my teeth. I would like to know if I had the lingual braces, would I get a nicer looking smile? I want the “hollywood” smile. I also do not have any problems with my bite. I don’t feel any pressure or pain, so I feel like the teeth are not really moving much. I sometimes feel if I had the traditional braces I would end up with a better looking smile, is this true? I have the impression traditional braces are more stronger and do a better job, because they cause more pain and I have seen people after they have them and their smile is really beautiful. Thank you for your time.

Would I Develop A Lisp If I Were To Get A Lingual Brace?

January 13th, 2014
Q.

Please advise as to the following:
1. I understand that lingual braces can cause a speech defect eg, lisp and that this improves with time and practice. However does it disappear completely during the treatment and on average how long does this take?

2. After removal of the lingual brace does speech return to normal or is lisping defect permanent? Is there any chance that after removal speech will not return back to normal?

3. Is this treatment available outside of the UK?

Please advise me on the above questions.

January 2nd, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Qureshi. I need to ask you what the easiest and fasted way to close gaps in teeth is? I have read a lot online about different wonder treatments that make me think the train tracs are pre-historic but then I read horror stories that make me think they’re the unavoidable reality. I don’t want train tracks but I would like to know what treatment works as well/better when closing gaps in teeth? Thank you for any advice you can provide me with in advance.
