My daughter has been given a horrendous contraction with two false teeth
Q. My daughter is 16 1/2, she has had a difficult time with orthodontic treatment, and now has two gaps in her upper jaw in the position of the no 2 teeth. HAving finally closed the central gap and created the correct space for implants she was led to believe she would be given temporary false teeth until a suitable time for the implants. She has hwoever now been given a horrendous contraption with two very ‘false’ looking teeth, and wires everywhere, which she cannot eat with and looks awful. This has caused her to beocme very emotional at what is a stressful time due to GCSE’s. CAn you please tell me whether you can give her the beautiful smile she wants in the fairly near future.
A.
I am very sorry to hear that your daughter is having such a difficult time with her orthodontic treatment.
Unfortunately i am not an orthodontist and you mention that your daughter needs implants which leads me to believe that this is not a straight forward case so Im afraid I cannot advise you as this is not my specialist area.
However, I do have a exellent private orthodontist that i recommend to you. Im sure he would be very happy to see your daughter for an assessment and second opinion. His name is Dr Neil Counihan, his webite is www.ellevenorthodontics.com.
Im sorry I couldnt be of any further help.
Kind regards
