Which Type of Lingual Brace is Right for Me?

July 29th, 2014
Q.

Hello, I’m looking at braces but don’t know which ones are right for me. I actually didn’t know there were so many different types of lingual brace! Obviously it’s great to have a selection but I’m starting to get confused between all the different kinds. I have two quite big gaps between my teeth and some of the teeth at the front are a bit crooked, but apart from that they’re quite straight – not a complete mess! I want to start saving for braces so I’d just like to know which you think would be best for me?

Are My Lingual Braces Broken?

July 3rd, 2014
Q.

Hi there, I’m having a problem with my lingual braces. The brace feels loose at the back of my teeth, and it didn’t before. Does that fact that it’s loose mean that it’s not working? I’ve got an appointment with my orthodontist in 2 weeks anyway for them to be adjusted but I just would like to know in the meantime because I’m worried. They cost a lot of money and I don’t want to have to spend loads more. The wires are loose so it feels like it’s moving in my mouth. Thanks for any help you can give me.

What’s The Difference Between Lingual Braces And Invisalign?

May 6th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr. Qureshi, I wondered if you could help me. I have had terrible teeth for many years, they are crooked and horrible to look at and have decided to get braces to straighten them out. I’ve been looking at lingual braces and also at Invisalign, what’s the difference? I know a few celebrities have used Invisalign so it intrigued me, however I do like the sound of lingual braces. Which would be best for me? Thank you.

Hello. I know that you’re supposed to have some speech problems at the start of getting braces put on but i have a constant lisp with the inman aligner in place. i feel like it’s getting worse gradually and its really affecting my confidence not so good. will it go away soon or how long even? i don’t want to be stuck with it! i don’t know what i should do as my orthodontist keeps saying it always happens in all cases but then for this long a time? i don’t think so! thanks.

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

I have severely crowded teeth, does this mean I can’t have braces?

June 29th, 2012
Q.

Hi. Dear expert could you please aid me. I have had long running problems with crooked teeth and oral hygiene. because my bottom teeth are so crooked I cannot get even flossets between them to floss which means I have to spend extra time brushing, guessing whether or not they are OK. I have now had enough and want braces but I don’t want the ones on the front. my concern though is that the ones on the back of the teeth won’t be suitable for me as some teeth are nearly behind others they are that crossed, in this scenario what would you do? thanks

I want the best brace possible whether it be on the front or the back?

May 14th, 2012
Q.

Dear expert. I don’t know how this works but If you could take the time out to read my question i would be most grateful. I want to have a brace but I don’t know anything about them, I’ve read up on them on here and indeed on your site. I am 90% sure I want incognito. for a few reasons one being that it is on the back of teeth, two I’ve heard really good things about it from my dentist and three because it looks cool!! I’d be 100% on it but my orthodontist is trying to get me to have a Damon brace? he says either will be good for me but this to me looks like a normal brace but a bit more sleek? would this be better than incognito or would you say have that?

Both are good braces and the b… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I have been told that lingual braces aren’t actually that good. Is this true?

January 12th, 2012
Q.

I am to have my lingual braces put into place next monday. I am really beginning to regret this decision after a discussion with my general dentist (i’m getting the braces from a separate ortho guy) as he said they aren’t really all that good. I only really wanted them because they are supposed to be hidden behind the teeth and I don’t want to be showing off braces while I’m in my work on a daily basis. Is this how it is? Please help me out.
