Would Lingual braces treatment work for me?

Q.

Hi I am currently enrolled into drama school, I am due to start in 2 weeks. My top row of teeth (particularly the canines) protrude quite significantly and I feel this will hinder my career as an actor. I am looking into receiving braces that will have the bare minimum impact upon my speech (for obvious reasons). What are your thoughts on lingual braces treating a case like mine? How long on average does treatment take and would they affect my speech for long? Thank you in advance.

Would I be suitable for Invisalign and would I need teeth pulled?

I have relatively, in my opinion, relatively straight teeth and have always looked after them, as a result i have no issues with gum disease/bleeding when i brush etc (I was told tis was vital when getting braces). The only problem are my protruding two front buck teeth. Given the circumstances of no more space, could my two font teeth be pushed back with invisalign? Or would I have to pull teeth out to create space, secondly to this would it be harder for me to clean my teeth, making me more likely to get a gum disease or something? tah

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
