Flared incisors
Jan 14, 2019
Hi, zorayda100! Thank you for your pictures and question. I understand that you’re unhappy with the result of your orthodontic treatment. You feel like your teeth are flared out. Based on the photos you’ve provided I agree with you. I think you have several good options for improving your smile, but you may need to seek a new provider. The most common, and predictable, treatment recommendation would be four (4) premolar (also called bicuspid) extractions. With space behind the front…
Are lingual braces risky? Are the results the same as conventional braces?
Lingual braces: risks and results
Jan 12, 2019
Hi, danielim! Thank you for your question! Lingual braces are a wonderful option for aligning your bite and improving your smile. The risks are in some cases even lower than those of conventional braces. With an experienced Board Certified Orthodontist, you’re likely to obtain as good of a result with lingual braces as well. Please, find a doctor who has experience with lingual braces and I’m sure you’ll be thrilled with the result. Cheers!

Achieve your “best” smile!
Jan 5, 2019
Hi, PalmTreesPlease! Thank you for your question and photos! I understand you’ve been through orthodontic treatment twice and are still looking for a better result. I’ve been through treatment three times myself and can completely relate. When deciding how to achieve your best smile, I recommend placing more consideration on the Board Certified Orthodontist than the appliance (e.g., DAMON, Invisalign). There is no “magic” appliance that can make your best smile. Instead, there…
Would lingual braces broaden my smile?
Lingual braces for broader smile
Oct 31, 2018
Hi, mmmspoons1234! Thank you for your question and photos! YES, lingual braces are a wonderful appliance for creating beautiful, broad smiles. In fact, many orthodontists prefer lingual braces in adults for broadening smiles. I would recommend seeking out a member of the British Lingual Orthodontic Society for a consultation and exam. I’m sure you’ll be thrilled with the result. Cheers!
Can an Invisalign treatment on my upper teeth correct a slanted/canted smile?
Smile creation with Invisalign
Oct 31, 2018
Hi, Karen! Thank you for your question and photo! Invisalign is a wonderful appliance for aligning teeth and creating a better smile. From the photo it looks like your upper right central incisor needs particular attention. The keys to Invisalign are the following: finding a provider with the training and experience in Invisalign necessary to provide a great result and diligently wearing the Invisalign trays throughout treatment. I would recommend finding a Board Certified Orthodontist who…
Would I be able to get braces without having to get an implant for my missing lateral inc
Missing lateral incisor
Oct 4, 2018
Hi, CarolC20! Thank you for your question and pictures! The answer is ABSOLUTELY, YES! Did you know, the lateral incisor is the most common missing single tooth, so orthodontists are frequently planning treatment for patients missing that tooth. Many times, you can “substitute” the canine for the lateral tooth by reshaping it and closing the spaces. This is called “canine substitution” and all orthodontists are familiar with this technique. Please, make a consult with a Board Certified…
Could I get braces and straighten teeth at 25 years old?
Braces for Adults
Sep 17, 2018
Hi, Amy025! Thank you for your question and photos! There is a simple answer to your question: Absolutely. Positively. YES!!! Adults are more and more seeking orthodontic treatment to align their teeth and give them a beautiful smile. Just because you didn’t get treatment as a teenager doesn’t mean you can’t get just as good of a result now. I’d recommended getting a consultation with a Board Certified Orthodontist who has the training, experience and expertise to help you achieve the best…
