Q. I had a fixed brace as a teenager however my wisdom teeth grew in very soon after having my brace removed meaning that my bottom teeth are no longer straigth and my top front teeth have been pushed forward making them crooked, as well as my bite being completely offline. I am unsure what is would be the best and fastest treatment for me and would welcome any advice you could give. Thank you.
A. Hi H, this is the biggest problem with brace treatments, once the treatment is over many people don’t wear or are not given a retainer and therefore eventually the teeth which are in a beautiful position initially move back. The best option would be to have orthodontic (brace) treatment again whether that be fixed(train tracks) or removable(invisalign) treatment, but this time make sure you have a retainer for the maintenance of the treatment. This can take as little as 6 months to 18 months in normal mouths. Hope this is helpful.
