Which Braces Have The Fastest Treatment Time?

May 22nd, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Qureshi, I’m hoping you can help me out. Around 6 years ago I had braces and my teeth were fine after treatment, very straight. I didn’t wear the retainer as much as I should have so I only have myself to blame I know, but my teeth have now moved back to their original position. Obviously I want my teeth to be straight again, but now time is an issue so I need the fastest brace possible!!! What would you suggest? I’ve been looking at both fixed and removable braces. Thanks!

Q.

hi i had braces when i was 14 15 for over a year and all i ever wanted was straight teeth once they took them off i wasnt completely happy they didnt seem as straight as i thought they would be. Then i wasnt given retainers for a while so my teeth already started to move i had my retainers late and then eventually they were getting slits in them where the plastic was so soft at the very front on the top retainer, a dental nurse cut the front down so small that eventually it just ripped. I was measure up for another reatainer and when it came it did not fit my teeth i could feel it didnt and the nurse was trying to ram it on and it was just not the right shape at all i had another one and i knew it still didnt fit properly at the back so i went back and the nurse shouted at me saying i hadnt wore it at all but it just wasnt true because all i wanted was perfect teeth, then it got to the point where i was going back and they said i didnt need retainers anymore and now my teeth have moved outwards very badly the four front teeth, I am 18 and still would do anything for straight teeth i am a student and want to know if there would be any costs involved and if so how much roughly for me to have hidden or clear removable braces to straight up the front teeth?

Will a brace affect me playing my saxophone at University?

November 28th, 2011
Q.

Hello, I’m at Birmingham University and am currently in my third year, studying BMus Music. obviously the year only started at the end of September and so the course hasn’t ran any great length of time. Now my dentist/orthodontist has told me I am going to need braces which has terrified me. of this I have two questions, firstly, do you think/have you heard cases whereby braces could affect a person playing an instrument such as a saxophone? and secondly, if the answer is yes do you think it will make a difference if I got lingual braces instead of traditional ones? I thought it might do as I’ll be able to move the embouchure more freely? please could you help me I don’t want this to affect UNI.
