Q.
Helllo Darsh 😀 I need your help please. I am 40 and wanted my teeth straightened inside a year before I go across to america for three months. I will be travelling on the bike and dont want to wear my helpmet whilst wearing a brace. the dentist told me that train tracks can take upto two years to achieve what they are required to do but he said to straighten teeth like mine he recommended some form of invisible brace. he basically said; they tend to cost more but there’s a good variety that can achieve straight teeth in a fraction of the time whilst looking more discreet in the interim. I wouldn’t mind having the lingual braces as they wont bother my cheeks whilst I am on the bike (I know these aren’t quicker than traditional’s but in this case it wouldn’t matter so much). other than linguals though what is generally accepted as the quickest way to straighten teeth? which method would you first look towards to see if a patient, who’d just presented you with this question, qualified for it?

A.
There are a variety of ways to straighten teeth. There are ways of speeding this up using something called the acceledent system which can speed up treatment by between 30-50%. It is therefore vital that you have a consultation with a Specialist Orthodontist to determine which one is best for you considering the Bike ride etc… Form there you can decide time and cost wise what is best!

Also, lingual braces can now actually straighten them faster than ever before!
Good luck brace hunting!
