Q. Hi,I am 45 years old and had fixed braces to close a large gap in my two front teeth which was removed in March last year. I was overjoyed at the result and had a wire fixed to the back of my teeth to prevent them from moving back, my problem now is that the wire keeps coming off and to date have already swallowed two !The third is now falling off and I cant cope with this for the rest of my life ! I have a retainer to wear at night so if I continue with this alone will my teeth stay in position ? Please help me as my poor husband is now driven to distracton with all this and its already cost him a small fortune to get me a smile I am finally proud of ! Thanks,
A. The night retainer if worn every night will prevent the teeth drifting. You may not be suitable for a bonded retainer as they generally work really well.

Q. hello i have a big overbite and ever since my back teeth have come through my gums are swolen and they kill. what should i do i don’t want any teeth out but it really kills. also do you know a good tooth paste because i am worried about my teeth because i hardly have any imamle
A. It sound like you need to see an orthodontist so they can assess your teeth can you let me know how old you as that can effect what is going on in your mouth. I generally recommmend colgate total as a very good toothpaste.

Q. hi there im 26 and have overjet top teeth of about 9-10mm. i was wondering if i would be able to get a brace to fix this free on the nhs or would they class it as purely cosmetic? i get pain in my back teeth, often bite my bottom lip i also feel i clench my back teeth quite alot which also causes pain. and feel it sometimes effects my speech any advise is really appreaciated. thanks
A. hi unfortunately you are above 18 so nhs guidelines do not allow treatment
try to ask your dentist to refer you to the orthodontic department in a local hospital in the hope they will treat you

Q. Hi My left lateral incisors is twisted and pushed forward. It protrudes outwards and is affecting my smile and i feel its even odvious when i have my mouth closed, its also effecting my gum line. will i have to have a brace or would i be able to have a veneer ? I’m 28 would like to avoid this !
A. Both ideas might be suitable but it depends on how much out of line the teeth are.
Cost and available time are also likely to be important in your decision

Q. Hi, I have been advised to have invisalign by an orthodontist, he did not mention anything about the damon system. I just found out such thing exists. Is it only some clinics that do this? do you think I should go for a second opinion? Is the damon system more expensive than invisalign? Thank you so much!
A.
in practical terms you will need an Orthodontist that is convenient for you to visit. The route taken is important but it is more important that the system works well in the hands of the dentist that you choose.

Q. I have misaligned in right side upper teeth,one behind the others and a little space in my left side,and based in my past teeth X-ray I have hidden permanent teeth that suppose will grow up and fill in to a gap but till now it doesn’t appears that’s why it gives space in my teeth and I’m now 20 years old. Do you think theirs still a chance to correct it? and what would be the possible solution for this problem? how long it takes just to make it straight?
A. I am sure you can get this corrected my advise would be to find a good cosmetic dentist or orthodontist and have a consultation so you can find out which options are available.

Q. Is Bicon an inferior material for implants - I have told my dentist that another dentist has given my friend implants at the back of her mouth at a far lower cost than she is quoting. My friend is delighted with the work. However my dentist, feels that Bicon is only suitable for Back teeth. There is a big difference in costs (almost 50%) is it possible for you to advise me as I do not wish to waste my money. I leave in Kent? I have been happy with the work that dentist has done on my teeth over thirty years. I have quite a few crowns and two bridges which support two and three teeth? Seven years ago I had Chemotherapy for Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma and have been in remission since then. Could the drilling of my gum have any serious problems for me? I do hope you can give me some advice as I do not want to wast my money as I am sixty five years of age and cannot afford to waste my money because it is part of my savings. Sorry this mail is so lengthy.
A.
Bicon is a unusual system compared to the gold standard of Branemark type implants. I have no experience with the Bicon system and am unable to comment on the aesthetic results with the system. As far as having implants following chemotherapy specifically with bisphosphonates there could be an increased chance of bone infection and osteonecrosis.

Hi I would like to get braces and my teeth are fine but just my 1 front tooth is bent the middle one I am earning a low income under 1200 and I can afford to pay 6000 for the treatment is there any possible way that I can get it half price or something I been told about a hc1 form it would help can I get the best advise a in what to do and how much it would cost and if there is any way to get it cheaper I will be looking to hear from you Thank you
A. A these treatments are private you may not get a reduction you could ask to get an NHS orthodontic referral from your dentist. Our treatments are available with 0 % finance so you can spread treatment costs.

Q. Hello, I have been living abroad and receiving orthodontic treatment for the past year. I was initially told the treatment would take approximately 16 months, however my orthodontist has now informed me that I am looking at another year of treatment. My husband and I are planning to come back to the UK in the next few months and I have just found out that I am pregnant. My first question is whether I would be entitled to free orthodontic treatment in England considering that I am pregnant? Secondly, I am assuming it is going to be the very last stages of my treatment, is it ok to switch orthodontists at this stage? Lastly, if I did have to pay for my treatment, what would be the approximate costs,given that most of the work would have been completed? Thank you in advance for your help. Kind regards.
A. It is always very difficult taking on another dentists orthodontic patient half way through treatment especially as the end of treatment can be quite tricky to complete. There will be no way of you getting this treatment on the NHS even though you are pregnant, you’ll need to go to an orthodontist and he will quote you on an individual basis to finish the treatment.

Q. I’m 17 years old, I got my braces off two-three years ago. I have a perment retainer on my bottom and a retainer I wear at night for my top. A friend pointed out to me that my bottom tooth (on the right side of my two front ones) has moved foward and slightly to the left. Will the ortho be able to fix this without putting braces back on? Will it cost more money?
A. You need to get the retainer checked to see if its broken, that might be why the teeth have moved. If the movement is only small it maybe possible to correct it with a simple aligner rather than another fixed brace

Q. Hi Dr, I trust you are well? I am very interested in finally improving my smile and have an interest in vaneers for at least two of my main front upper teeth. I appreciate that you cannot give exact costs without a cosulatation, but before i take this further I would appreciate if you could give me ‘ballpark costs’ Regards

Q. im 17 when i was 12 i boy puched me down the stairs and i broke half of my 2 top teeth.i had to get root canal for 1 of the 2 teeth,after i got the root canal my gum start to smell realy bad 24.7 i tried every thing i flossed i used mouthwash everything.i went to the dentist and he ended up taking the tooth off.but the smell was still there.he took a xray but he kept saying there is nothing there i went to 4 dentist and they are saying the same thing.i know that there is somthing wrong 1.it smells really bad 2.it hurts me a lot 3.sometimes i get a pimple on the gum.plz help me
A. sorry to hear your problems. You probably need a root canal treatment if a bump comes up on the gum. There might also be a fracture. Perhaps you could ask your dentist for a second opinion from another dentist to see what he thinks.
