Q.

hi, i was wondering that i had braces wihen i was younger but four years later i notice that they have shifted slightly, would i need to get braces again. Also my front two teeth have been extremely sensitive since i had braces and ive never been able to bite straight on, its always been at an angle. Thirdly i have this discolouration on my front tooth and i was wondering what is the best way to get rid of that mark without altering the actual tooth’s structure itself. thanks.

Q.

when i was 14 i had a 13mm overbite, i was given a choice of an operation followed by fixed braces to correct this or fixed braces which wouldnt fix the problem completely, being 14 i chose not to have the operation, now 20 i am still unsatisfied with them, i currently have a 6mm overbite, im not eligible for the operation any longer, and i was told braces wouldnt fix the problem, i have run out of ideas could you please give me some advice, thank you.

Q.

Recently had a lower central incisor extraction inorder to straighten my botton incisors. Apparently there was no room whatsoever to avoid extraction due to a full compliment of 14 teeth. very distressing due to the current gap in my lower arch. How successful is this treatment , and what would be an alternative if at thre end of treatment there is relapse even with permanent retainers.I am 50 years old and extraction has had a psycological effect upon me as the extrcted tooth was healthy.
Thankyou

Q.

doctor i wanna know how to get my teeths aligned.my teeths are very much irregular and my teeths are getting yellowish.i hope you could tell me a better and easy way to solve my problem!!

Q.

I am 15 yrs. old. My front two teeth are not in alignment with the others. I want to have braces but have heard it requires last two teeth to be removed plus a lot of caution and maintenance. I don’t want to bear all that. I have seen some people who use temporary braces for front teeth which can be removed manually anytime ,they are just a kind of simple wire. I find them a good option for myself. Please highlight their usage and if they are really effective b’coz my teeth are just a little bumped out and can be adjusted easily, i guess.

Thank you.

Q.

I have been unhappy with my teeth for a number of years. Aged 16 I had upper “2″s crowned as they were being pushed back by the “3″s . Unfortunately I was never given orthodontics as an option.

Over the years (I am now 46) the colour of my natural teeth has changed, the movement continued and now the right 1 and 2 are pushed back the 3s look too large and the whole smile is unsightly.

A local dentist has suggested crowning 1, 2 and 3 (the 3s are quite long and pointy) and veneers for the 4s and 5s as these are pointing inwards.

My real concern is whether this is going to bring the teeth so far forwards for the 1,2 and 3 (because the 3s are large and will therefore set the outer arc position) that I’ll take on the appearance of the love child of Richard Branson and Janet Street Porter (A look I suspect you are rarely asked for).

How much further forwards would you expect teeth to be following crowning which is not intended to bring things forwards but in fact level things out.

Apologies for the lack of correct technical jargon but I imagine you get the picture.

Q.

Hi my front 4 teeth are pushed inwards what treatment could I do to make them streight? thank you.

Q.

I believe I need four veneers for my front four top teeth from an accident I had as a child as they keep chipping. However, one tooth at the bottom is out of alignment, would this be a problem?

Q.

Hi, my two front teeth misalign a little bit (less than 2mm). I went to see the dentist today and he said my case is qualified and would take about 6-8 weeks. However, if I were to have an inman aligner treatment, he will have to push the lower teeth back to have room. Therefore, the cost of the treatment is double from £995 per arch to total £2,200. I just would like to see your point if it’s always necessary that the dentish has to push the lower teeth first before pull the upper front teeth? I just don’t want to be over charged if there are alternative more affordable price that give the same result. Please kindly advice. Thank you.
