Q.

Hi, i need a dental implant but also want a 6 month brace fitted. can you tell whether the brace would have to be fitted first to align the teeth then the dental implant fitted or would the implant be fitted first then brace?

I have wonky teeth, but at 16 in full time education why do I have to pay £1900?

Q.

Will getting fillings and bonding affect my chances of getting braces for crooked teeth?

December 16th, 2011
Q.

Hi Mr Patel I am from the Dominican Republic but have living here for nearly ten year. I have been told that I need a lot of restoration work on my teeth due to sugars I have encountered in the past. Also my teeth are crooked and I have considered having a brace. I have now saved up money and was thinking about getting a smart brace and have now been recommended to look at lingual braces. I was hoping you could tell me if there was any restoration work that would interfere with me getting a ligual brace. I need a few fillings and have been told that also I need cosmetic bonding? I am not sure what this is but will either of these things affect me getting a brace that goes behind my teeth? thank you, speak soon
