Q. I wonder if you can help. I have crowded top front teeth and went through a few years of wearing a fixed appliance as a teenager and although I didn’t think necessary it must have been. However I still have crooked teeth as they have moved over time. the teeth on either side of my front teeth protrude pushing the front 2 back slightly. I have spoken to my dentist but he says it doesn’t seem worth having further orthodontal work. He also advised that it would age my teeth significantly by undertaking further treatment. I would love to get them fixed and would appreciate any advice. I am reluctant to undertake lengthy treatment again.
A. hi many thanks for your email, the problem is that if orthodontic work is done then a retainer should be given to ensure the final result is not allowed to move back, if this does not occur then the teeth have a good chance of moving. the options are such redo the orthodontic treatment and then make sure you wear a retainer or secondly have the teeth positioned used crowns and veneers. hope this is helpful.
