Hey everyone, I am a 29 year old female from Cape Town, South Africa. Over the years I have noticed the crowding of my bottom teeth (one tooth in particular that pushes back) has increased. It has bothered me to some degree as it's sort of like 'where is my tooth venturing off to and how long...
Finally getting to fixing my teeth! So far I removed two pre-molars at the bottom as it’s so overjet I won’t need to remove any more teeth to keep it balanced. I decided to go with ceramics at the bottom and linguals at the top. Additional problem: my front tooth is dead and I had to rem...
I've just had lingual braces fitted aged 37 to fix my crooked smile. I've always felt self conscious about my teeth but didn't really know how to get them fixed. To be honest, braces didn't cross my mind - as a teenager, my dentist told me to 'leave well alone', and an appointment at a private...
Dr. Benson and her staff are very professional and the dental office is very clean and modern. My treatment took 8 months. I had lingual braces (you cannot see them)... it took a few weeks getting used to them after that it was a breeze. My teeth are beautiful and I am so happy I found Dr....
Like many of you, I had braces as a teenager but failed to wear my retainer (major womp womp). I have an overbite, with front 4 teeth flaring forward because of a tongue thrust. I have been wanting to fix my teeth for years but was against metal on the front of my teeth. Enter Lingual Braces. I...
I had the opportunity to get braces in my teenage years, but unfortunately didn't want to go through with it. I spent a better part of my 20s wishing I had straight teeth and wondering if I would ever feel confident in my smile. I liked my teeth and thought they had "character" but ultimately...
Amazed by the results so far. I started treatment 8 months ago and it will last for another year but results are already very visible. I had a massive overbite in the upper teeth and crowded lower teeth. Now I can start smiling in pictures and not just from a certain angle (before I would only...
So for a long time I have not been too happy with my crooked teeth, and I have finally decided to do something about it. I never wanted bracesin high school, because I did not like the way they looked, and still do not that is why I'm getting linguals on the top and ceramic on the bottom. Went...
My treatment was supposed to be 12-18 months Has been nearer 4 years. Back in 2012 I got lingual braces. Has been a mess up from start to finish, beginning with the Ortho seeming incapable of getting teeth impressions done properly! So after got them on, first problem arose when a bracket on...
Dr. Paz left me toothless with trouble eating, smiling and talking normally. The custom made device with a pontic that I had was removed and now does not fit anymore after 10 days of lingual braces services from Dr. Paz. He took impressions for my braces without removing the device, he did not...
