Is it possible to put on a fixed retainer behind the teeth to hold them where they are

Friday, April 24th, 2009
Q.
I have been wearing a fixed brace for 6 months now and am really happy with how much my teeth have moved, but my orthodontist has still given no indication of how long I am going to be wearing it. I really want it taken off but don;t want my teeth to move back as soon as it is removed. Is it possible to put on a fixed retainer behind the teeth at any point to hold them where they are, as i want to request this? Or would they have to be at a certain stage before the fixed retainer would work? I am completely happy with my teeth as they are now but am not sure if my orthodontist wants them to have moved before removing the brace. I’d even be happy with a removable retainer if necessary.

I have had a knawing pain which feels like its the eye tooth please any advice

Friday, April 24th, 2009
Q.
Hi i went to my dentist about 18 monthes ago and he said i needed a new denture and my top tooth next to the eye tooth was twisted.(this tooth had a white filling in it and had never beeen any problems.He persuaded me to have it crowned which i was against.every since i have had a knawing pain which feels like its the eye tooth.my dentist dosnt really listen to what you tell him and ended up doing two root canels on the tooth he had crowned. he done the last one through the tooth and then put a mecury filling in which i wasnt pleased about. cheapest i think.i keep trying to tell him the crowned tooth aches all the while unless i take my denture out.for the last 18 months i have pain/burning in that side of my face.it goes into the ear.this is wearing me down. the dentist will not have its anything to do with the crowned tooth and says ive probably got TMJ and to yawn with my mouth shut and cut up my food. sadly im nhs and once you have paid your fee they dont want to know.i have took antibiotics and anti inflammatorys but these do not help.as i said no problems with that side of my face or teeth until i had that crown and root fillings. please any suggestings.

is there a special short cut procedure for my dental implant

Friday, April 24th, 2009
Q.
I have a questions regarding dental implants, I am soon to be 25, and unfortunately have had to have 2 teeth extracted in the past, I was looking into the possibility of implants even though the costs are astronomical. The teeth in question are in the middle left hand side, one upper, one lower, directly above/below one another, does this arrangement require any special consideration? Also another factor is I have a recent root canal filling adjacent to the removed lower tooth, which seems to be unstable and at times painful, and my Dentist tells me if this indeed does prove to be defective, then that tooth will have to come out too. Before embarking on an implant programme, I would request you furnish me with the your expert considerations, I was looking into having Ti implants, bt due to my arrangement, is there a special short cut procedure? or will have to pay roughly £1800 per tooth? Many thanks in advance.
