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

October 28th, 2013
Q.

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 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!

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

September 3rd, 2013
Q.

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!
