February 24th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Qureshi, I have a question fr you. I am 49 years old and am considering lingual braces. I have crowded teeth and am really self-conscious of getting the traditional visible braces and was wondering what cost I’ll be looking at for Invisalign and any other lingual brace that I might be eligible for. Which one have the shortest treatment times? I hope you can help me, I’d really love to hear from you. Thanks.

Hi Darsh, Can You Tell Me Whether Lingual Braces Are Suitable For Fixing A Crossbite?

November 11th, 2013
Q.

Hi Darsh. I hope you can provide me with help and advice. What I want to know is, who exactly are lingual braces designed for? I’m booking a consultation with my local orthodontist who I want to discuss lingual braces with but I want to know if I’m suitable before I go. I have a crossbite and a large gap in between my front tooth. Generally, can lingual braces treat these problems? It would be great if you could help me with this. Thank you.

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
Q.

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 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!

Is there a brace available that can reduce the appearence of my overbite?

September 14th, 2012
Q.

Hi, dr i was wondering if you could help me? I am 17 and i have a really bad overbite. Is there any way i can have a brace that would make the overbite not stick out as much? i really do not want to have any surgery the thought of it really scares me, i am just looking into some other options before i discuss it with my dentist/doctor. i am scared about what they’re going to say so i would just like a sort of an opinion. have you been across anyone with bad overbites and managed to fix them up, quickly? i feel that it is affecting my time in college now. thank you.
