I would like to have my crowded and twisted teeth to be straightened but don’t want any teeth extraction. Possible?
Tuesday, December 7th, 2010Q.
Hi,
I am almost 35 years of age and have two front teeth crowded and twisted, also bottom jaw-4 teeth crowded and twisted. I would love to have a perfect smile, but not sure I can afford it, and how long would that take? I believe tooth extraction in my case will be necessary, and that really scares me. Also, I am an adult ,working in customer service, I cant imagine myself with mouth full of metal. Not sure where to go for a consultation,I live in Kent(BR3),
Thanks for reading,
I have a 9 mm overbite, are there any alternatives to jaw surgery?
Saturday, December 4th, 2010Q.
I have 9 mm overbite (overjet). During my last visit to India i have braces and my orthodontics extract my two upper premolars in order to make space and he put braces only at upper teeth. I came back to denmark after 1 month and find an orthodontic for furthur treatment. The orthodontics here suggest that i need a jaw surgery instead extraction of premolars. while the jaw surgery will perform in hospital and it is free in denmark.
is there any alternate to jaw surgery , can braces done the job itself? I have deep overbite of 9 mm what would you recommend?
many thanx in advance

Is it normal to have no sensation in my teeth and bruised nostrils following preparation for veneers?
Thursday, December 2nd, 2010Q.
Hi
I’m having veneers done. I had 6 of my top front teeth prepared last week and I now have temporarys in my mouth.
I feel like they are still numb. Its concerning me a lot. I tap on them and can’t feel a thing. If I tap on my other teeth I can feel the sensation. I also feel no sensitivity whatsoever in my prepped teeth.
It’s literally like when you’d wear a gum shield and tap on your teeth through them. That’s the sensation I have.
Is this normal? and will I get the feeling back?
Also, when I flare my nostrils they feel bruised.
Having lost some of my molars, would an implant retained denture be a suitable solution?
Thursday, December 2nd, 2010Q.
hi have lost my 1st molar 2nd molar got my 2nd premolar but lost 1st premolar on right side but the bone between the premolar and other teeth is thin have been toying with the idea of implant retained denture is it possible to use the bone at the back as this is more dense or would it need to be at the front? thanks in advance
Do I need a brace or retainer if my front tooth has moved slightly?
Thursday, December 2nd, 2010Q.
I had a filling done on a premolar in august. afterward my bite was not right so i went back and had a bit filed off of it. it was still not quite right but much better than before and became more comfortable. however now my front tooth on the same side as the filling is twisting forward slightly. it has always been slightly in front of my other front tooth but definitely moving further forward. my tooth is not wobbly but i can feel it move slightly if i press my tongue against it. i think the filling has caused my teeth to sit wrong and therefore push this tooth out a bit.
will a further filing of the filling be sufficient to get the front tooth back in place/stop it getting worse? or do you think i might need a brace or retainer?

Would getting veneers now affect the chances of me being able to get braces in the future?
Wednesday, December 1st, 2010Q.
Will veneers have an impact on my chances of having braces installed in the future?
I’d like to even out the appearance of my top incisors with veneers. I’m also considering braces in the future. Will the veneers make it impossible to finish the straightening process of my teeth? I’ve heard mixed news.
If I need to forgo veneers and wait longer but improve the appearance of all my teeth, it may be worth the wait.
Thanks.
