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

May 14th, 2012

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?

Both are good braces and the b… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

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

March 9th, 2012

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.

What would you say is the most obvious alternative to traditional braces?

January 31st, 2012

Hello, I really want braces but I dont want conventional ones. I really hate ttraintracks and all that comes with them, the speaking problems etc… Coupled with the fact that they look disgusting I just dont want them. I have seen a lot of alternatives but have noticed that different dentists/orthodontists/specialists all have different opinions on each, for example I have heard bad things of the inman aligner, saying it isnt an exact science and all this. givene these suggestions what would you say is the most obvious alternative to traditiona braces? thanks

I’m having difficulty straightening teeth, what options should I look at?

January 31st, 2012

Hi Darsh,
Im really worried about my teeth because i have really goofy front teeth that lead me to being bullied in college and i hopegully want to get rid of yhis burden before uni. I have already had braces however i only had fixed braces on my lower teeth, my upper teeth were straightened with retainers which had very little effect but the dentist kept reassuring me it was the best way. After treatment was completement i didnt really bother to wear retainers becuase the braces didnt make much of a difference to the main part of my mouth, upper hald where my teeth stick out horribly ….so bad that i cant even close my lips.i had this orthodontics treatment when i was 15/16 yrs old and now im 17. Some relatives have suggested i go to india and get a full mouth restoration (or something like that where all teeth are removed and replaced with plastic PERFECT ones), india was suggested as it is hometown and cheap. I was told in leicester the costs would be too high and so i need your guidance sir…. Please helpnme out and tell me what my best approach would be ? Thanks alot dentist

Why have I heard so many different tales about different brace types?

January 31st, 2012

hello Mr Patel. I have been llooking into getting a brace and have found that it is with anything else in life. If you want it and it looks good its not as good as it sounds, or not as good as the ugly one you dont want!!! in this case it comes down to the inman aligner and invisalign vs the damon and lingual for me. this is the small short-list which i have yet with the first two you’d think they had never been used or been successful with the things you hear “…they may not work, may not be for you, wont achieve this if any of the following 1000 criteria points don’t match…” etc. yet with the slightly more unsightly of the four (Damon) all you hear is amazing tales. I am not about to ask you which is best of the four but what are your opinions on the inman aligner and Damon system as a whole (not diagnosing for me- just your thoughts as an expert?) any feedback will help me build a picture of what to look for/expect. thank you

Having had diabetes, periodontal disease and now a tooth that’s moved I am now looking to fix it.

January 17th, 2012

I am a 47 yr.old woman with well maintained diabetes for 30 yrs. now. Over the years I have developed periodontal gum disease(from not visiting a dentist like I should have) and from this a tooth has moved out of it’s original position, making a gap appear. Now going to the dentist for regular exams and cleanings, I’m interested in having this problem fixed. I would like to know what your suggestion would be on how to fix this problem. The moved tooth is located in the front & on the bottom of my mouth so when I smile it is very visible and i’m very self conscious of this. Please help!
