Can I Have Lingual Braces Before My Maxillofacial Surgery Instead Of Fixed Braces?

March 10th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Qureshi. I hope you can help me with my question as I would like clarity on my subject. I have had Maxillofacial surgery about 9 years 8 years ago, I am 28 now and am having to go through the treatment again as I have a bad bite, so my jaw is still slightly to one side, and the bite is not correct. I hate having to have braces again but I wanted to ask; can the orthodontist use lingual braces instead of the regular ones before the surgery, as I do not like the idea of having braces on the front of my teeth again? Many thanks. I thank you in advance and I look forward to hearing your reply.

How much would it cost me to have full mouth Incognito braces?

October 31st, 2012
Q.

Hello my apologies if this is brief/not enough detail but I need some advice. I am no longer able to get braces free on NHS so I figured I’d get some smart braces if I was going to be paying for it anyway. I have overlapped teeth slightly and wanted incognito braces but I here how expensive they are and that brackets are x amount each. How much apprximately would a full mouth cost to fit with this system? I am convinced it would work as my teeth are not abnormal just have crossed a bit? thank you

Which brace would be best in terms of comfort and a short timescale?

June 29th, 2012
Q.

Dear Mr Patel I had orthodontist treatment as a kid when I was 11-15 so my teeth are straight to look at but my top teeth are pushed back too much so I cant close my mouth properly and my teeth are wearing out. In last few years my teeth feel uncomfortable as if there is nt enough room for my tongue. I would like a brace that can push them forward so I have a nice smile as you can’t really see my top teeth when I smile due to their angle. Also since I turned 40 my top jaw muscles ache all the time and I feel like my mouth doesnt have any support as the teeth are so far back. Please can you advise what brace is best in terms of speed, comfort and quick timescale? thanks

At 13 could I have two social six braces, one on each jaw?

April 17th, 2012
Q.

Hello dear expert. I am 13 and my teeth have done my head in for aages now. my bottom teeth are crooked, this is not the most serious issue but it needs addressing. the bigger problem is that my jaw seems to line up with the top jaw almost. the top row is only just in front of my lower teeth,coupled with the fact my lower teeth aren’t level means that one of the upper middle teeth has moved slightly to accommodate the crooked one that now sits where it used to. Could I have two social six treatments (one on each row) or would the treatment be more extensive? thanks I know it is difficult without seeing me

how long will my teeth take to straighten if I had braces when I was younger?

April 17th, 2012
Q.

hello Dr. I was wondering if you could help me. I has a full brace when i was younger. I absolutely hated it and was always conscious of how it looked. I did wear my retainer for a long time and in hindsight I guess it worked or at least was working. I stopped wearing the retainer and my teeth moved back to where they originally were. I want to have treatment to fix this but I was wondering if it would be quicker this time around as the teeth have been moved previously?

How long will Invisalign take to straighten teeth and what are the alternatives?

April 17th, 2012
Q.

Hi, Mr Patel I have been on your website for invisibrace and it got me thinking. I have been wondering about braces for a while now ever since I learnt they could go on the back as well as the font of the teeth. I had always thought of the conventional types you see. one of my more favoured treatments looks to be the invisalign. I assume it wont fix every case but it looks good. what treatment time would you say we’re looking at with this on average? if I cannot have this treatment what tends to be the most common alternative/ thanks

Is there any reason why I shouldn’t have the Inman aligner?

March 23rd, 2012
Q.

Hello. I have looked at various brace options now and am a bit fed up of looking.I want to get braces as soon as possible. I like the look of the inman aligner as a way of fixing mildly crooked teeth. I have however heard bad press about them so to speak. never anything academic just oh this isn’t proper and things like that. Is there any reason why you wouldn’t administer this treatment or even opt for an alternative. thanks

My daughter needs treatment for under bite. How much would it cost?

March 2nd, 2012
Q.

My daughter has her lower jaw larger than her upper as a result, her teeth are not align. She has seen a consultant orthodontist and waiting to have braces fitted on the NHS. The consultant told me that she will need to wear braces with a facial harness attached to it and my daughter needs to pull the harness in order to grow her upper jaw. However, the waiting list seems to be long, therefore if I have it done at your clinic how much does it cost? Your early response would be greatly appreciated.

I want braces but not traditional train tracks to fix my mildly crooked teeth, what do I get?

November 28th, 2011
Q.

hello I am thinking of having braces and have looked through this website for alternatives to the old fashioned metal braces. I do not want these as Id rather have crooked teeth, they are horrible clumpy things! what I cannot do well on here though is compare my favourites side by side (any website in general) what I would do therefore is ask your opinion. in correcting crooked bottom (they aren’t massively crossed which is why I have had the luxury of taking my time thinking about having them done) teeth what what would you say was the best orthodontic treatment to fix them without getting traditional fixed braces? cheers
