How long is it to get tooth gap closed wearing braces?

February 6th, 2013
Q.

Hi I have always had a gap betwwen my teeth, and I hated it, so after so many years I’m going to do something about it. How many dental visits do I have to make before and after the gap is closed and I have a tooth that is slightly higher up than all my other teeth, will this affect the gap being closed? Does the procedure take long and what do I have to do straight after the gap is closed? I cannot wait to start feeling confident again. thanks for your time. Kind Regards

The wires on my InVu braces have turned yellowy. What can I do?

January 23rd, 2013
Q.

Hello the wires on my invu braces have turned a funny colour, almost a yellowy type colour that is not nice. i don’t really know why this has happened at all like this but you can really tell i’m wearing braces now, which defeats the purpose of even getting these braces, and it’s affecting my confidence. A few people at university have made awful comments about time and i’m considering just having them removed completely! can you tell me if there is a quick way i can get the wires to their original invisibility once more? I really don’t want to be wearing these braces for long if it is going to be like this. thanks.

Orthodontist recommended putting chains on my son’s teeth to pull them down. What is this?

January 17th, 2013
Q.

My son is 13 years old. He has been seeing orthodontist for about5-6 years. He has had many many teeth pulled. He has 4 teeth that are not coming in. The orthodontist is going to put chains on these teeth and pull them down. I have never heard of this and it scares me.Have you ever heard of this? Is there a chance of them coming in on there own. I would rather wait, but he doesn’t want to wait any longer.

I had braces but my teeth have since relapsed. I don’t want braces or anything too invasive. Can you advise?

January 17th, 2013
Q.

i already wore braces when i was in my seventh grade .But now after six years i am experiencing a relapse and there is a gap in between my front two teeth and one of my front tooth is slightly up .do i need to wear braces again and undergo the whole treatment over again or is there any other way i could bridge the gap between my front two teeth without cutting the teeth and then filling them .Some doctors i visited here advised me to either put on braces for a year again or suggested me to undergo root canal and cut the tooth which is in the front and then fill the gap and place a cap . i do not wan to cut my teeth nor undergo the braces treatment all over again .so could you please suggest a method .

Do you know of anyone who has had a bad experience when wearing lingual braces?

January 3rd, 2013
Q.

Hi, just briefly could you tell me if anyone has had any bad experiences with the lingual braces? Is it likely that food will get trapped in the braces all the time being at the back? If this is the case are they easy to clean? I understand that lingual braces are more cosmetic but I wouldn’t want something that’s a lot harder to maintain.

Should there still be signs of a lisp when I wear my Inman Aligner?

December 10th, 2012
Q.

Hello. I know that you’re supposed to have some speech problems at the start of getting braces put on but i have a constant lisp with the inman aligner in place. i feel like it’s getting worse gradually and its really affecting my confidence not so good. will it go away soon or how long even? i don’t want to be stuck with it! i don’t know what i should do as my orthodontist keeps saying it always happens in all cases but then for this long a time? i don’t think so! thanks.

Will chipped tooth prevent me from getting braces?

December 6th, 2012
Q.

Hello I was just wondering if you would be able to give me your professional opinion to help me? i’m due to go ahead with receiving invisalign braces, i’ve had all the measurements taken etc but i chipped my tooth at the weekend and i have to see my dentist this week, will this stop me receiving the braces? will i have to have the tooth fixed up first before i can start with my brace treatment? i’m really worried!

I’m unsure if my braces are still working as I can’t feel much forces. Can you advise?

November 29th, 2012
Q.

I have been wearing my braces for about 5 months now and am a little worried that it isn’t as effective as it once was. It feels a great deal looser and my teeth don’t seem to be moving as much as they once were. Is this just the way the braces works or should it be something for me to worry about? I am due to go back and see my dentist in about a month, but do you think it would be better if I did it now instead? I really want to get the best out of my brace, and it would seem a waste of time and money if I left things now. Do you think I will have to have a new brace at all? Thanks

Can you get dental braces if you have a few missing teeth?

November 26th, 2012
Q.

Hi can you tell me which would be the best brace for me in my specific situation? i have an overbite (it isn’t that bad however) and i also have two missing teeth at the back of my mouth(at the bottom) and one back tooth missing at the top to round off the problems. I just want a general idea from a dental professional like yourself, can you still wear braces if you have a few missing teeth? thanks!
