Is it right that I have to pay £1000 for a brace that is needed for just one tooth?

Wednesday, September 5th, 2012
Q.

Hello, I had some holes filled in my front teeth when I was 18 during which my dentist moved my tooth out of place when drilling my tooth was left in a slanted position and has been this way for the past 8 years my teeth no longer fit together and it wobbles slightly it also rubs on my bottom lip when I close my mouth, I have lost all my confidence I have seen many dentists and they say there is space for it to go back in position and I have been told it may cost £1000 + for just the one tooth to be straightened even though it was a dentist that put me in this position in the first place do I need full braces just for one tooth, I am currently unemployed due to my lack of confidence. thanks for your time.

I have to wait 30-40 days for my ClearPath aligners to arrive, will my teeth change position by then?

Monday, September 3rd, 2012
Q.

Hi, I had finished my metal brace treatment some 6 years back. But over the time the teeth have relapsed now.
So I had now ordered ClearPath aligners thinking that they could help with my problem. So the bite impressions and moulds are taken and sent to the aligner manufacturer.
Here is my worry… It will take 30-40 days to receive the aligners. Is there a chance that my teeth are still relapsing, and it will move in 30-40 days? So is there a chance the aligner wont fit in my teeth, since the measurements have been changed since…?
Or is it like, the teeth can not move that much in 30-40 days, and also since I had finished my braces some 7 years back…? Thank you for any advice you can provide for me.

Good question. Your teeth are … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Are my teeth moving back because I’m not wearing my retainer often enough?

Monday, September 3rd, 2012
Q.

Hello. I hope you are well.
I am 32 years old and I wore a brace for a year and now have a retainer on the top and bottom rows of my teeth. I have noticed that my bottom teeth are moving a little and going back to their original place – which was originally very crooked. This is really concerning me. I had white fillings to line them up so should I go back and get crowns on the bottom to stop the movement and make them look better or is it that I am not wearing the retainer often enough?
Id like to have really nice looking teeth. I had a crown on the front and whilst I was really happy, its colour appears to be less like the other teeth – which puts me back to square 1can you give me some advice please?

Can braces close a 1cm gap?

Monday, September 3rd, 2012
Q.

Respected Sir,
Due to an injury in my early age,my right lateral incisor overlapped my right central incisor.The overlapped right central incisor did not have a root and so my dentist removed both the teeth. Now there is approx. 1 cm gap there and the dentist has put braces to bring the left central incisor to the right and cover the space.He will bring the left lateral incisor in place of the left c and putting a cap on that tooth so that it looks like a central incisor.And because my left canine is very high, it will come down.
Is this treatment right? By doing so the dentist wants to cover the space along with bringing the canine down! Can braces have the capability to cover 1cm gap?
Please answer and explain.

How much would it cost to have my overbite corrected?

Monday, September 3rd, 2012
Q.

Hey, I first noticed i had a under bite when i was 14 when my dentist told me that my bottom jaw stuck out more than my top jaw and it was called an over bite after that i avoided smiling in photo’s and if i had to get my picture taking i didn’t smile. Anyway, when i was 18 i got braces on i had them on for 3 years, I was asked at the time – did i want to have the surgery to get it fixed permanently?  i stupidly said no thinking later i could get it done because i was pregnant at the time so when i asked could i get it done i was told no i was too old. i am now 26 years old and was wondering if would now have to pay for the surgery?If that’s true could you tell me how much it would be please? Thanks

My upper 4 front teeth are protruding, what would be the best type of treatment for me?

Friday, August 31st, 2012
Q.

Hello, I am male and 21 years old. My upper front four teeth have drifted outside alignment by about 1.5 cm from their normal position. I want to make them shift back to their normal position. I have heard about some available treatments relating to this problem but i am still getting confused about what to do and what steps to take next. What can kind of treatments do you think will help me? are braces helpful in all situations? and what are the other available treatments that can be beneficial for me?. can a bridge be placed to replace the teeth instead or is that a silly idea? what do you think? I need all the help I can get so thank you.

I’m scared that after having braces some other dental issue will come up! What should I do?

Friday, August 31st, 2012
Q.

Hello Doctor Moore! I am a little worried about going to get my teeth fixed. The bottom canines are crooked and when I close my mouth, my top teeth sit over my bottom ones (Is that considered an over bite?) I am worried about the procedure and the pain I would have to endure when receiving dental treatment (I have dental phobia too). I am also worried in the case of just asking for my teeth to be be straightened out would of course lead to having them re-aligned but the dentist finding further complications too. I hope I haven’t confused you with this information! (: As usual we all have financial worries so anything regarding payment options would be great!! Thank you (: (:
