Would I Develop A Lisp If I Were To Get A Lingual Brace?

January 13th, 2014

Please advise as to the following:
1. I understand that lingual braces can cause a speech defect eg, lisp and that this improves with time and practice. However does it disappear completely during the treatment and on average how long does this take?

2. After removal of the lingual brace does speech return to normal or is lisping defect permanent? Is there any chance that after removal speech will not return back to normal?

3. Is this treatment available outside of the UK?

Please advise me on the above questions.

What Is The Fastest Type Of Brace To Close The Gaps In Teeth?

January 2nd, 2014

Hello Dr Qureshi. I need to ask you what the easiest and fasted way to close gaps in teeth is? I have read a lot online about different wonder treatments that make me think the train tracs are pre-historic but then I read horror stories that make me think they’re the unavoidable reality. I don’t want train tracks but I would like to know what treatment works as well/better when closing gaps in teeth? Thank you for any advice you can provide me with in advance.

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

December 9th, 2013

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

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.

I Think My Inman Aligner Might Be Broken And I Don’t Want Folk Out More Money. What Should I Do?

October 28th, 2013

Hello Dr Qureshi. I have a problem as the little coil that comes with the Inman aligner is now at a funny angle, and I think it could be broken because when I put it back in after cleaning it felt really loose, I don’t know if it’s just me thinking it though as I might be worrying too much. Should I take it to my orthodontist to check out? I really don’t want to charged a fortune if it is broken though, I’ve already had to pay a lot to have it in the first place. Thanks. I hope you can help me with this as it’s bothering me.

I Made An Appointment Recently As I’m Having Six Month Smile Treatment, But My Dentist Is Ill And I Don’t Know What To Do?

October 7th, 2013

Hello Dr Qureshi, I have a problem I’d like to get off my chest as it’s really bothering me. I made an appointment recently with my dentist as soon as I had my adjustments (for 6 month smiles). I was supposed to have an appointment this week but it was cancelled due to him taking ill. I haven’t been scheduled to see anyone else and I don’t know what I’m supposed to do? The receptionist said someone would be in touch but they haven’t yet so should I be concerned? Will this delay affect my treatment at all?

I Don’t Want My Braces To Be Noticed Or Affect My Speech, What’s The Best Option?

September 3rd, 2013

Hi! I just want to know if the attachments on the social 6 braces remain completely invisible at the back? Does it work with just a wire? Or are attachments present? The thing is, I’ve got it into my head that because it looks after only 6 teeth it means that the attachments will be bigger/bulkier. I ask because I constantly deliver presentations to large retail companies, I don’t want them to notice I’m wearing braces because of the nature of the industry and I don’t want the braces to affect my speech. Thank you for any advice!

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

July 29th, 2013

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

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

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.
