I Would Like To Know Just How Effective The Differing Types Of Lingual Brace Are?

September 19th, 2013
Q.

Hi, I would like to know what the chances are of relapse for all the kinds of lingual braces available please? I’ve been put off from having invisalign and 6 month smiles because my general dentist said that aligners aren’t as effective as fixed braces. I don’t want fixed braces, I am desperate for lingual but heard that chances of relapse is far greater if I invest in them. My orthodontist has told me different things but I don’t know who to believe as I’ve been with my general dentist for 10 years! Can you please advise me? Thank you!

As A Model I Can’t Have Fixed Braces, What Do You Recommend?

July 29th, 2013
Q.

Hi Dr Qureshi. As a woman you’ll understand the importance of looks, especially these days. I’m applying to be a model currently and I’ve had a few remarks about my teeth. My two front teeth contain a small gap but they also stick out ever so slightly, my dentist has said I have an overbite. In order for me to succeed with the modelling I’m going to need braces. The thing is, I can’t have anything fixed because of the work I’ll be doing. Can you please suggest a type of brace for me that will be suitable? And could you please give me an idea of how long I’ll have to wear them for? Thank you for your time.

Which Type Of Brace Will Rectify My Canine Trouble?

July 11th, 2013
Q.

My teeth are very crowded, both the upper and the lower with my canines digging into my gums. My mum didn’t think I needed braces when I was younger and when she realised it was too late to received them through the NHS. They are a state though and I’m looking for a good brace system that will fix them as soon as possible. I think it seems likely that the canines will have to be removed but do you know of any brace that can avoid this from happening? I’d have to pay for implants or whatever then as well wouldn’t I? It’s going to cost me an absolute fortune and I have no idea where to start but I can’t carry on like this. Thank you for reading this.

How Can I Pay For My Braces?

June 27th, 2013
Q.

I really don’t want a train-track brace but my mum and dad don’t have great jobs so they’ve already said they can’t afford to pay for ‘fancy’ braces as they call them. I have to go to high school and I don’t want to be bullied. There was this one girl there who got picked on because of her braces and she always had food trapped in them. My jaw hurts all the time and the gaps in between my teeth are huge, the definitely need fixing. Can you please suggest something? I’m 15 and trying to get a part-time job so can I pay for them that way? Or can I get some help from someone? Thanks.

Can You Detail What The Recovery Period Is Like After Jaw Break Surgery?

June 4th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr I hope you can clear a few things up for me. I have a terrible bite problem that’s been bugging me for years and I am wondering whether to go through with jaw break surgery so that I can also have my teeth straightened with orthodontics. Is the healing process particularly painful? WIll I have to have a completely liquid diet after it, and if so for how long? Also, how much time do you think that I’ll need off work in order to get all of this done correctly? Looking forward to your response. Thank you.

Should I Have My Teeth Whitened Before Or After Invisalign Treatment?

April 24th, 2013
Q.

Hello, I’m just making a enquiry in regards to the invisalign system. Basically, my teeth are quite dull and I am planning on getting them whitened in the very near future. I also require invisible braces, I have a consultation next week basically I am suffering from some overcrowding and a slight cross bite. Just a heads up would be fantastic…should I have my teeth whitened before I get the braces or after? I want to ensure that I get the brightest possible smile but don’t want any marks left by the braces if I have them whitened beforehand. Do you know of any practices that offer free whitening with their brace treatments? I had a friend who had whitening with her braces but they don’t do it anymore…Thank you in advance!!
