Hey Dr Qureshi. I Would Like Lingual Braces But My Veneer Keeps Falling Off And Causing Problems. What Should I Do?

December 9th, 2013
Q.

Hey Dr Qureshi, I had removable braces for 3-4 years (age 13-16) to help straighten my top teeth, but after a year of no braces my teeth were crooked. Last year in August when I was 18 I had a veneer on one of my bottom teeth, however the fake tooth had fallen off twice, thus my tooth has now been covered with cement. I am now stuck because I want to have lingual braces, although that one tooth is causing problems, because if I have the cement taken off the tooth would be sensitive. What do you suggest that I do? Regards, I look forward to your advice.

Hi Doctor. I’m In A Bit Of A Pickle, A Bracket Has Come Loose And Food Keeps Getting Caught In It. Is This Normal?

November 18th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Qureshi. I’m in a bit of a pickle. My brace keeps getting food caught in it, it is the one that is on the back of the teeth and I didn’t think that this was supposed to happen. One of the brackets I think may be a little bit loose. Just wondering if it’s anything I should be concerned with. What would you suggest that I do? It’s the worst when I have toast or a sandwich, the bread just gets stuck and I have to reach for it with my tongue or when I clean my teeth. Is this just normal? I hope to hear from you, thank you for any advice in advance.

Q.

Hi Darsh. I hope you can provide me with help and advice. What I want to know is, who exactly are lingual braces designed for?

I Have Porcelain Crowns And I Would Like To Know If Lingual Braces Are Suitable Or Is There A Chance They Can Chip?

October 21st, 2013
Q.

Hi. I have to porcelain crowns on my front teeth because of an accident I was involved in several years ago. My canine teeth have always protruded and I’m looking into getting some discreet braces. My only concern is that a brace will damage my crowns, they’re very new I only had them replaced last month. Even if I had braces attached to the back of my teeth there’s a chance they’ll chip away at the back of my crowns, isn’t there? Can you please help me and offer some advice. What is a good brace for those with crowns? Thank you for your time.

Hi There Dr Patel, I’m Really Happy With My Braces, But I Struggle To Clean The Very Back Teeth. Any Tips?

September 30th, 2013
Q.

Hi there Dr Patel!!! I’m really happy with my braces, but I really struggle with cleaning my very, very back teeth. Especially now that my braces have been tightened a little bit. It’s pretty much impossible to even attempt to get at them. So essentially I wanted to know whether or not you know of any neat tricks to get the back top and bottom teeth cleaned really well. I’ve tried to be inventive so far but a pipe cleaner doesn’t work too well! Hope to hear back from you. Thank you.

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!
