Will invisalign work on my teeth? PICTUREs?
I hate to say this but probably not...I actually just heard a thing about braces on NPR yesterday after work and they said Invisalign was for minor to moderate correction. It looks like your teeth are a bit more than that so you would probably need to go to a maxillofacial surgeon. The lady that was talking about her experience said she had to take pain killers for the first two days too, and from the description her teeth were quite a bit straighter than yours.
Reply:Probably won%26#039;t work, but it is usually free to consult with a dentist about these things!
Reply:I don%26#039;t think so, but braces will! :)

I Need help understanding Macro Lens for digital photography pictures of teeth, what to buy.?

At our dental office we are just starting to look for a digital camera to take very close pictures of teeth. The problem is we are all amatures at photography or digital cameras. I said we need a macro lens to do this. Some else said we need zoom capability, I don%26#039;t think that is right.





I suggested we need a digital SLR like a nikon rebel, of course with a flash too. Does it need to be a %26quot;ring%26quot; flash?





I know nikon rebels are $800 and up, and the macro lens would be a separate expense too, right?





Some else at the office was hoping we could do this with a much cheaper camera, I said %26quot;in your dreams%26quot;!





Please advise...

I Need help understanding Macro Lens for digital photography pictures of teeth, what to buy.?
To get really clear and detailed images of teeth you will need a lens which has the ability to focus at short distances. That would be a close-up or macro lens. The addition of a ring light would be to provide equal lighting from all angles, thus reducing any shadows and providing the greatest possible detail.





Additionally, because you are going to be working at close range it is imperative that you be using a single lens reflex camera, where the viewfinder actually looks through the lens.





I would recommend a Cannon EOS Rebel XSi with a EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM Lens and a Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX.
Reply:I shoot for some dentists in my area. I use a Nikon D200 and a 105mm macro VR lens with a %26quot;macro%26quot; flash unit (like you see on CSI from time to time). It is the Nikon R1C1 package





Too purchase something like this will cost about $1800 for the D300 (replaces the D200), $760 for the lens and $680 for the macro flash. Not a lot when you compare it to other tools the dentist uses in his/her practice. Less than $3500 when you include a good tripod and tax.





Your dentist should have some experience using something like this from dentistry school.
Reply:As far as macro lenses go, you could do a lot worse than a Sigma 105mm macro lens which would give you 1:1 or lifesize macro.





Your question %26#039;Does it need to be ringflash?%26#039; Yes, it does. The guide number of the ringflash is best suited to macro photography. If you were to use normal flash guns, you would need to adjust the light output down to around 1/4 to 1/8th of the flash%26#039;s power to avoid a %26#039;whiteout%26#039;, whereas, the ringflash takes care of that already.





Sigma makes this lens in a variety of fittings including Canon, and you will find it quite capable of the kind of shots you%26#039;re after.


As for ring flash, one of the best on the market is also made by Sigma (no, I don%26#039;t work for Sigma) which will give you the necessary flash power to do macro photography, without spending a small fortune.





It matters not what camera you use, it%26#039;s the quality of the lens that really counts. Even if you used a bottom of the range Canon digital SLR, the quality of the optics is what will ultimately make the difference. Your patients will thank you for making a considered professional choice, especially if a good colour match is part of the desired result in the case of veneers or crowns etc.





Many years ago, Polaroid developed a specialist camera for the dental profession. In the UK Yellow pages, Dental surgeons comes after Demolition.

Reply:Go with photoace -- he%26#039;s a real expert here. I would just add that you cannot compromise on the lens -- the 105 macro and suggested flash would be perfect. However, you don%26#039;t need the super-robustness or the rapid burst features of the D300; you could get equally satisfactory results with the D80 and save $1K.





Oh, and you%26#039;re right: zoom does not replace macro. Just because you can zoom a lens and make things appear closer does NOT mean that lens will focus really close -- that is the function of a macro lens.
Reply:Visit the Lester Dine site - lesterdine.com. They are specialists in the type of photography you need to do in the dental office.
Reply:Ok, I%26#039;ll comment on the different components and you can decide what to do.





In terms of the camera, you%26#039;re right, you need an SLR so that you can see in the view finder exactly what your image is going to look like. Now, the Canon Rebel won%26#039;t work for you, it doesn%26#039;t have a spot meter, something that%26#039;s crucial for macro work. You%26#039;d have to select a higher Canon model or select a Nikon. Any model of Nikon will work. If you want to go on the cheap you can use the D40x, it%26#039;s an excellent entry SLR that takes exceptional pictures. If you want some more control and options, something I don%26#039;t think is necessary in this case, go for the D80. I personally use a Nikon D200 and I love it, but then I don%26#039;t photograph teeth, I%26#039;m into bugs and fungus both of which can be a real challenge and is certainly far more challenging than teeth. So I need the additional features of the D200. Were I do do only teeth I%26#039;d be happy with the D40x.





You don%26#039;t have to buy an SLR with the kit lens that%26#039;s offered. You can buy it with any lens you want and usually that will get you a bit of a discount on the lens when you buy it with the camera which will save you a bit of money.





So what lens? Clearly you have to use a macro lens and preferably one that goes 1:1, basically life size. NIkon has two flavours of this, a 60mm and a 105mm. There are others that offer %26quot;macro%26quot; capability but they are not true macros and will give you only a 1:2 ratio (half life size). A macro lens also focusses on a flat plane instead of the more usual curved plane which is crucial in macro work. A lot of lenses call themselves macro because they allow you to get closer to your subject, but that doesn%26#039;t make them true macros and they won%26#039;t get you the outstanding images you need.





With macro photography, the lens to subject distance is determined by the size of the subject and the focal length of the lens. If you%26#039;re photographing a filling in a tooth, using the short lens, the 60 mm, means you really have to get close (porbably a very few inches), which can be a problem with the patient. A longer focal length is really needed for your application. Using the 105mm instead allows you at least a foot of lens to subject distance which is easier to handle both for yourself and for your patient. Additionally, the 105mm lens has an excellent image stabilizor that takes case of any camera shake. So in this case I%26#039;d recommend the 105mm lens. I have both and they%26#039;re both excellent lenses, but the 105mm is the best for what you%26#039;re trying to do considering the constraints under which you%26#039;re working.





Finally, in terms of illumination, yes I agree a ring flash is ideal. You%26#039;re not trying to create art, you%26#039;re trying to capture clinical details so it%26#039;s essential that you have even illumination that eliminates all shadows.





Sigma has an excellent ring flash that works perfectly with the NIkons. It%26#039;s reasonably priced and with the 105mm macro gives you a comfortable working distance that won%26#039;t distress your patients.





Nikon does have a macro flash too which an earlier correspondent alludes to, but I personally feel it%26#039;s not practical for what you%26#039;re trying to do. Additionally it%26#039;s heavier, bulkier and requires more fussing to capture the image.





So, my suggestion is a Nikon D40x with a Nikon 105 mm macro lens and the Sigma ring flash. That would be the least expensive solution to your need. If you feel you need more sophistication camera wise, I%26#039;d select the D80 instead with the same lens and flash. Anything more would be over kill.





I hope this helps a little.

O.k. everything that you have wrong,even over bite can be fixed with braces and your teeth ain,t that bad,they just need to be pushed together more and braces will take care of both this problems!Hollywood
Reply:Your welcome sweety,Good Luck,and don,t feel bad wearing braces,My girlfriend had them put on at age 35 for over bite,and now she has Gorgeous smile and you will too!Hollywood Report It

Reply:Yes, braces are your only option as far as I know to straighten your teeth. I wouldn%26#039;t worry about the overbite. as soon as you fix the gaps you%26#039;ll have a great smile. an overbite isn%26#039;t ugly or anything, you%26#039;ll be fine.
Reply:Braces
Reply:Those pictures are so dark and blurry I can%26#039;t tell if they are human teeth or wombat.
Reply:Go find yourself a good orthodontist and you%26#039;ll be okay. Your dentist can recommend a good one.





Good luck with it Sweetie!
Reply:I have seen teeth in much worse shape, so I%26#039;d say you are OK. Check about getting braces, as has already been stated. Sometimes, an adult braces system can be used. I do not know if that would work in your case, not to be mean. The gap is significant but appears to be fully correctable. Are there any missing teeth that could be affecting the bite?
Reply:Yes, braces is an option and treatment with a retainer could help to close up the gap in the front teeth. But I think braces will work better for you. Make an appointment with an orthodontist.
Reply:You did not state your age, but I still think you should be fine without surgery. Just get a consult with an orthodontist and put your fears to rest.





§
Reply:braces are what you need, i couldn%26#039;t tell from the pics if they are discolored but if they are when you finish with the braces you may want to look into veneers, or bleaching Good luck!
Reply:Surgery? For what? You%26#039;re the typical person with teeth that aren%26#039;t straight. If you like your smile then don%26#039;t worry about it. If you don%26#039;t like your teeth then get braces. They will only be on for a few years, so it%26#039;s no big deal. You%26#039;re still going to be alive in a few years, so why not look and feel better.
Reply:Make an orthodontic consult. Your teeth are not protruding much. The braces would suffice to bring your teeth back in shape, without any subsequent jaw surgery. But I doubt about the gap in top front teeth. It is a little bit bigger. You may have to get the cosmetic procedure like bonding, crowns or veneers done at the end of orthodontic treatment.

i used to have teeth just like yours but I got braces on when I wa like 13 and they actually ended up having to pull a couple teeth to make room for the other teeth and put this little metal bar underneath my two front teeth so that stops them from coming apart again
Reply:Braces should do the job, my ex had teeth like that as a child, and braces corrected them very nicely!
Reply:if you have an overbite you dont need surgery all you need is an expander and some braces i had a bad overbite and now i have straight teeth and that is all i needed
Reply:Talk to your orthodontist, you are going to need braces, i had them for three years they are not so bad, and my teeth are great now.
Reply:You should get braces. A lot of people have overbites but you should get braces or invisiline just to fix the gap.
Reply:Kinda blue aren%26#039;t they? You should probably get some whitening. Crest has a tratment for about $50
Reply:It is hard to see clearly, but possibly braces to fix the overbite and teeth whitening. You may want to look into veneers for the front teeth to fill the gap. HTH : )

Dude . . . . you need more advise on showing clearer pictures than the condition of your teeth. . . . .





Your teeth are probably not THAT BAD . . .overbite is easily corrected by a good dentist. He will probably put you in braces. There is now a brace that is hardly noticeable, not like when I was a kid and the mouth looked like a metal junk yard. In the meantime keep you mouth and teeth healthy by brushing and flossing once or twice a day, I know that sounds like a nag, but trust me, it really works.

You%26#039;re right - you do have an overbite. Fortunately, it looks nowhere near bad enough to require surgery.





I had the exact same problem with my teeth when I was young; I had a severe overbite (much worse than yours) and a noticable gap in between my 2 front teeth. I wore braces for 2 years.. headgear at night for 1 year (which pretty much truamatized my 11 year old self, lol) and I wore those rubber bands that pulled my jaw up.





So, if you%26#039;re looking for treatment, go see an orthodontist. You%26#039;re probably going to need a year or 2 of braces.. but I seriously doubt you need jaw surgery. I%26#039;ve only known of one person that had that procedure done, and it was because he had %26#039;no%26#039; jaw (some sort of birth defect, i imagine.. but you couldn%26#039;t tell by looking at him).

Reply:Yeap; you do.

Reply:!Take good care what you%26#039;re doing! It doesn%26#039;t seem to be a problem!

Need to get my bottom teeth straightened (PICTURES)?

Okay, so I got porcelain veneers on my top six teeth, but my bottom ones are crowded and I want them straightened out as quickly as possible. Is it possible to have braces on your bottom teeth only? My top ones came on straight and now have veneers on them.

My camera doesn%26#039;t take the best photos, but judging by them, could I possibly be a candidate for invisalign and with that, how long does it take to see results of teeth shifting and how long would I probably have to wear them?





My dentist offered me a quick fix with a $1000 discount on getting a five-unit bridge to straighten my bottom teeth for only $2500. But I%26#039;m looking into braces first to avoid having false teeth at only 19. lol

Need to get my bottom teeth straightened (PICTURES)?
braces
Reply:I would say braces too.


You can get them only on the bottom, they do that. lol.


But that%26#039;s a good deal you could say.


Its better than spending a few more hundreds, possibly thousands on braces, and a retainer...





I would say talk to your dentist/orthodontist.
Reply:your bottoms seem very crowded and invisalign only works for people who have just minor problemos but it will be faster with braces but you should ask your orthodontist for advice. and even if you get braces you can get them in clear anyways so it%26#039;ll be less noticeable obviously more noticable than invisalign but at least it%26#039;ll probably take twice as fast

Your teeth look great! I wouldn%26#039;t worry about them!





But, if you do want to change them you should talk to a cosmetic dentist. I do not believe plastic surgery on your face is the way to go! Dentist can put %26quot;tooth colored%26quot; crowns on your teeth to change the shape.

Reply:yes, laminates. theyre expensive. also may want a gingivectomy to make your teeth appear longer. (im not saying they look bad) i am a dental technician and i make a decent living doing cases like yours! empress is what you want. its a product made by a company called ivoclar. your dentist would prep your teeth, then send an impression to the lab. in the lab they would make whats called laminates, or veneers. these are made out of empress material. thats porcelain coverings. you could also change the shade to whatever you want.

How long will it take for braces to fix the gaps in my teeth? (pictures)?

So I have these gaps in my teeth that I%26#039;ve had since almost two years ago, when i lose my last baby tooth. I was told by some of my friends that they%26#039;d eventually close on their own, but knowing eighth graders, it can be hard to trust their opinion when some of them haven%26#039;t even had braces yet. But anyways, I included pictures to show how big the gaps were. (i took them with my camera phone and the quality is kind of poor; it looks like i have gross teeth). They are straight for the most part, but while my top teeth have gaps in the front, the bottom ones are too close together. I know that evrybody%26#039;s teeht are different, but Anybody have an estimate?





Oh, and also, do ceramic braces stain very easily? An option I was considering.

How long will it take for braces to fix the gaps in my teeth? (pictures)?
i had all my gaps closed and am in a retainer right now. my teeth are dead straight and before they were jacked up. id say probally 1 and a half to 2 years
Reply:maybe 2 or 3 years. I had my braces on for almost 3 years. I don%26#039;t know about ceramic braces but I think normal braces are the best.
Reply:about 2-3 years maximum on the gaps... the orthodontists will try to make your teeth perfect so that may not be all thats wrong with them in their eyes...


i would stick with normal braces because after a while you can%26#039;t even tell that you have them... i still have people all the time saying to me,%26quot; you have braces... i never noticed...%26quot;


good luck with the braces... :)
