I want the best brace possible whether it be on the front or the back?

May 14th, 2012
Q.

Dear expert. I don’t know how this works but If you could take the time out to read my question i would be most grateful. I want to have a brace but I don’t know anything about them, I’ve read up on them on here and indeed on your site. I am 90% sure I want incognito. for a few reasons one being that it is on the back of teeth, two I’ve heard really good things about it from my dentist and three because it looks cool!! I’d be 100% on it but my orthodontist is trying to get me to have a Damon brace? he says either will be good for me but this to me looks like a normal brace but a bit more sleek? would this be better than incognito or would you say have that?

I don’t mind having a brace but do I have to have one of those on the front of my teeth?

April 24th, 2012
Q.

Hi Mr Patel I have been told that I will need to have braces. I don’t mind and actually quite want to have them in order to straighten my teeth. If I can help it though I don’t want the ones on the front of the teeth as I don’t like these. I learned of the lingual braces and the different types of linguals I could get. I was wondering how long it would take to have lingual braces put on? I like the look of the incognito brace, is the better and would it take longer to put on or not? thanks

At 13 could I have two social six braces, one on each jaw?

April 17th, 2012
Q.

Hello dear expert. I am 13 and my teeth have done my head in for aages now. my bottom teeth are crooked, this is not the most serious issue but it needs addressing. the bigger problem is that my jaw seems to line up with the top jaw almost. the top row is only just in front of my lower teeth,coupled with the fact my lower teeth aren’t level means that one of the upper middle teeth has moved slightly to accommodate the crooked one that now sits where it used to. Could I have two social six treatments (one on each row) or would the treatment be more extensive? thanks I know it is difficult without seeing me

How long will Invisalign take to straighten teeth and what are the alternatives?

April 17th, 2012
Q.

Hi, Mr Patel I have been on your website for invisibrace and it got me thinking. I have been wondering about braces for a while now ever since I learnt they could go on the back as well as the font of the teeth. I had always thought of the conventional types you see. one of my more favoured treatments looks to be the invisalign. I assume it wont fix every case but it looks good. what treatment time would you say we’re looking at with this on average? if I cannot have this treatment what tends to be the most common alternative/ thanks

Is it possible to have an allergic reaction to braces?

April 17th, 2012
Q.

Mr Patel, I have always struggled with the dentist as I know many people do. I am now told that I have to have braces and that’s about as bad as it gets as you can imagine. I also, just to make matters worse, have a weak immune system which means I have allergic reactions to pretty much anything including dust! I was wondering if there is anything used when having braces that could cause any kind of reaction? or whether you had heard of any related case before… be honest ha! thanks

Is there any reason why I shouldn’t have the Inman aligner?

March 23rd, 2012
Q.

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

Are there different types of lingual brace?

March 16th, 2012
Q.

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

Is there a braces that will move wayward upper left incisor into alignment?

March 9th, 2012
Q.

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.

Can I swap from stb lingual braces to incognito?

March 2nd, 2012
Q.

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 :)

I am really pleased with my brace. Could you tell me about tooth whitening afterwards though?

March 2nd, 2012
Q.

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
