My lower incisors are overcrowded and overlapping can I replace the teeth with an implant

Saturday, May 31st, 2008
Q.
The incisors of my lower teeth have grown overcrowded, resulting in some in them overlapping somewhat and also forcing one to protrude about 2mm higher than the others. I can’t see how a brace would help as there seems very little space to play with (I may be wrong, I often am). Is there anything I can do, like have the teeth removed and replaced with an implant, or is this too drastic given that the teeth are essentially healthy and my problem is purely cosmetic?

It is very difficult to say wh… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I have a deep overbite and want genioplasty to reposition my pronounced jaw

Saturday, May 31st, 2008
Q.
I dont really know where to start or what the clinical terms are for my particular problem..I have an extremely deep overbite where my top jaw completely bites over my bottom jaw.. this causes my lower face to look collapsed and my chin is very pronounced ( apparently this is because my lower jaw has had to take the weight from my upper jaw. I was meant to have corrective surgery on my jaw when I was younger but my parents couldn’t afford it, I have always been so embarrassed about my side profile as it makes me look like a witch ….and I now at 24 years old want to have the surgery I should of had as a child. My question is: – What is the cost involved in surgery to reposition my jaw AND then have genioplasty to reduce my pronounced jaw (chin)? …AND would I have to have braces fitted again? ..I did have braces about 7 years ago to close some large gaps as I am missing teeth (I had braces on for 3-4 years) ..I then got 3 bidges on my front lower teeth to fill these gaps.. So my teeth have been relatively sorted out but my jaw and the semitry of my face is ALL wrong. Please could you estimate a price of this type of surgery and recommend a good surgeon? Thanks a bunch.

My upper teeth are crooked and twisted but cannot have metal braces will invisalign work

Saturday, May 31st, 2008
Q.
My upper teeth care slightly crooked at the front. I had braces as a child but have been told that the orthodondist used old fashioned techniques that often go wrong. The two teeth immediately on either side of my two front teeth are slightly twisted round and sit a bit behind them. I have attempted braces about a year ago but as an adult can\’t really deal with having them, not being able to speak etc. However, I really want straight teeth (especially having already gone through so much pain, extractions etc to get them!). Do you think the invisalign braces would work for me? Thanks in advance.

My daughters have fluorosis and overbite would micro abrasion work

Friday, May 30th, 2008
Q.
Hi, I have 2 daughters age 9 and 10 who both have moderate white fluorosis stains on their front teeth. Other children are now picking up on this and calling them cruel names as this makes the rest of their teeth appear a yellow colour. Furthermore, they are both unfortunate enough to have overlapping teeth and an overbite. They have both been referred to the orthodontist but they may not fit NHS criteria but we would fund treatment ourselves if this is the case. However, the fluorosis is the main source of worry as our own dentist just advises 18 and have their teeth bleached?? I have read about microabrasion – would a private cosmetic dentist consider doing this now- particularly as they may be undergoing orthodontic treatment in the future. Any advice you could offer would be very gratefully received.

Microabrasion is definately an… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
