Since I last posted here I went back to the orthadontist and had more detailed xrays, moulds done and photos taken. He could see that there was some bone loss and calculus but much improved from when I went initially to the dentist in February. He wasn't concerned but asked me to take my xrays along...

Just a little update... I've been to the orthadontist for an initial consultation and have been told I am a potentially a good candidate for invisalign and fixed braces. He didnt recommend damon braces for me. Invisalign cost just under 4k and fixed cost 3500k. I have gappy front teeth and an overbi...

Thank you 😊 and for the link. It's good reading other people's experiences. I've already had my first clean and im going back to the dentist in June to assess my gums, so when I go my ortho in a couple of weeks I can at the very least find out what his thoughts are on my mobility etc. Like your expe...

Thanks!

Hi Clare - Thanks for the info. :) I would imagine then that my ortho will say similar to me, I am actually with mydentist and the ortho is as well which will make it easier for them to liase with each other. I w...

Hi There! I'm looking for some advice regarding my suitability for braces after finding out that I have periodontal disease. My dentist hasn't given me much information. I know that it can be difficult to predict but any experiences are appreciated! I decided in January this year that I wanted to st...
