Straight teeth

[Masood]

Hi,

I would love to have straight teeth, all it is with my teeth is, the top and bottom 6 teeth (12 in all) are crooked and I want to straighten them, or taken out and replaced, my other teeth are fine, is there anything I can do for this?

Hi,

Thank you for your question.

We certainly can assist and help you with your problem. Depending on how crowded your teeth are Invisalign can be the choice of treatment for you and if we are talking about only the 6 front teeth top and bottom, then your treatment can also be very cost effective and cheaper than usual full cases. This however depends on the clinical finding and I advise you to come and see us for a free Invisalign consultation.

Hello Masood,

Thank you for your post.

There are 3 ways you can have straight teeth.

The most conservative way is to have orthodontic treatment and this will straighten the crooked teeth. Invisalign are clear braces and are nearly invisible, removable and comfortable. They are very popular with adults as it does not affect their work and social life. There are also traditional braces but these are visible and fixed to the teeth.

The second way to have straight teeth are with veneers. Veneers are very popular because they give straight teeth in a very short time. The disadvantage with veneers are they may require shaving of the teeth and on average last 10 years.

The final way is to have a combination of orthodontic treatment and veneers/crowns. In your case it appears braces or veneers alone would be required. Following a consultation at Pearl Dental Clinic we can discuss your options in more detail and provide a treatment plan.
