Will getting fillings and bonding affect my chances of getting braces for crooked teeth?

Q.

Hi Mr Patel I am from the Dominican Republic but have living here for nearly ten year. I have been told that I need a lot of restoration work on my teeth due to sugars I have encountered in the past. Also my teeth are crooked and I have considered having a brace. I have now saved up money and was thinking about getting a smart brace and have now been recommended to look at lingual braces. I was hoping you could tell me if there was any restoration work that would interfere with me getting a ligual brace. I need a few fillings and have been told that also I need cosmetic bonding? I am not sure what this is but will either of these things affect me getting a brace that goes behind my teeth? thank you, speak soon

hi there im 57. I worked as a labourer for thirty years. this meant, as the work was physically hard my mouth was open for extended periods of the day in order to breath. now I’m told this could have contributed towards my teeth’s recent overlapping (this has happened progressively over the last few years or so). what I wanted to know was is this actually possible and if it is do you know of anything else that I can look at trying to stop? and as im still working as a brick layer which brace treatment is the least intrusive? for now im not bothered about speed, price or looks I just want the most comfort so it doesnt bother me when I work. cheers buddy

Hi- I want braces and am thinking – after I consult my dentist/orthodontist to find out costs and whether it would be the right thing for me to do or not, about having lingual braces fitted as they will offer me the freedom to live life as normal as is possible with braces. but. no matter whether I have these linguals or a set of traditional ones I have concerns as to what happens if i need any other corrective treatment in a mean time. so If I were the brace and experience tooth ache or tooth decay of some form that means I need a root canal or something then would I be able to have it or does it mean any corrective surgery id put on hold until the braces are off?

hello there i need to find out what is best for me? i have been told about lingual braces and am really interested I am not down for the old ones I do not like them. I like the idea but have heard that they can make you talk funny and I don’t like the sound of that. I myself have then researched the inman aligner. I have crowded bottom teeth and would only require single arch treatment as the top are fine. could you tell me please what the variations in price between the inman aligner and the lingual braces are, generally speaking not on an individual case and which is best? it is literally the the front four bottom teeth that are crowded so if theres anything other than the inman i dont know about please let me know. thanks

How well do Lingual Braces work when compared with traditional braces?

Hi, I don’t fully understand lingual braces? with a traditional set of braces I can see how the wire pulls across teeth in order to straighten them and despite not liking them to much aesthetically In would be comfortable having them as I know about them. they say fear is of the unknown as such I would like to know how they would pull teeth part without damaging them? I have crooked teeth and was looking for alternatives to traditional braces would I be better off looking at inmans or damons? issue with both of them is that you can see them! how does the lingual work and would you say that is the best option?
