My teeth are moving back to their original position after having brace treatment, what should I do?

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010
Q.
I am 17 years old. I had braces and my treatment finished last year. I did get retainers to wear after my braces were removed but I didn’t wear them as often as I should of. I am now starting to notice that my teeth are slowing moving back as there as there are tiny gaps back and also when I put my retainers in they feel really tight. I havn’t been to the orthodontist for over a year because my treatment finished but I’m not sure I am allowed to go back to get the gaps closed again. Any help would be kindly appreciated. Thank you.,

Are there any other alternatives to partial dentures?

Monday, July 19th, 2010
Q.
Hi, my wife has gradually been losing teeth on her top and bottom palate for a number of years. She has finally been told by her dentist that she will have to lose another tooth as is broken. He has also told her that she will ned a partial denture on both her top and botton palate holding bewteen 4 and 6 teeth each. She has tried this before but is unable to wear a denture supplied by the nhs as she ends up gagging. I wonder what her options are. Can she get a different type of denture, what about implants or bridge work. It would be posible to find some funds to this privately if we could find the best solution.,

Would Lumineers work for my pointy upper canines?

Monday, July 19th, 2010
Q.
Hello, Would Lumineers work for my pointy upper canines? As an alternative I was thinking of simple tooth reshaping by simply smoothing them down, although I fear this may make them look too small in relation to the rest of my teeth? I think tooth reshaping will work for my lower canines which are rather pointy too, how much should this cost? Thank you,
