I’m having difficulty straightening teeth, what options should I look at?

Q.

Hi Darsh,
Im really worried about my teeth because i have really goofy front teeth that lead me to being bullied in college and i hopegully want to get rid of yhis burden before uni. I have already had braces however i only had fixed braces on my lower teeth, my upper teeth were straightened with retainers which had very little effect but the dentist kept reassuring me it was the best way. After treatment was completement i didnt really bother to wear retainers becuase the braces didnt make much of a difference to the main part of my mouth, upper hald where my teeth stick out horribly ….so bad that i cant even close my lips.i had this orthodontics treatment when i was 15/16 yrs old and now im 17. Some relatives have suggested i go to india and get a full mouth restoration (or something like that where all teeth are removed and replaced with plastic PERFECT ones), india was suggested as it is hometown and cheap. I was told in leicester the costs would be too high and so i need your guidance sir…. Please helpnme out and tell me what my best approach would be ? Thanks alot dentist

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

Q.

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?
